Air Quality Management Areas

Click on the map to zoom in to individual Local Authorities or use the Local Authority Selector below

Since 1997 local authorities in the UK have been carrying out a review and assessment of air quality in their area. The aim of the review is to assist authorities in carrying out their statutory duty to work towards meeting the national air quality objectives. If a local authority finds any places where the objectives are not likely to be achieved, it must declare an Air Quality Management Area there.

This web site holds information on the progress of each Local Authority in making the review and assessment. It also gives information on any AQMAs declared and the status of any Action Plans
