Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will publish the statistics his Department holds on air quality in Wednesbury in the borough of Sandwell.

Statistics from national air quality monitoring networks are published on the UK-AIR website. The national network for the main set of air pollutants is the Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN), which meets the requirements of the Ambient Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC).

Hourly measurements from this network are published within two hours of measurement on the UK-AIR website; various data extraction and analysis tools are also available. The URL for the data section of the UK-AIR website is here:

There is currently one AURN monitoring site in the borough of Sandwell: West Bromwich Kenrick Park. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council also carry out air quality monitoring activity, and publish annual reports on their website containing statistics from their monitoring sites.
