Progress Reports form an integral part of the Local Air Quality Management system, providing detailed assessment of local air quality monitoring results and an update in new developments or industry with the potential to influence air quality either directly or indirectly.
These reports also provide an update on policy changes with the potential to influence local air quality, and an overview of progress with projects aimed at securing environmental improvements, particularly where they are targeting air quality issues.
The reporting process typically includes a detailed road traffic modelling study, examining pollutants identified in the USA process to be close to their respective National Air Quality Strategy ( NAQS ) objective.
In recent years, Progress Reporting has concentrated on the distribution of Nitrogen Oxides ( NOx ), specifically in the form of Nitrogen Dioxide ( NO2 )
Readers should refer to the Updating & Screening Assessment Pages for details of other NAQS Pollutants.
