The networks consist of interdependent elements, split between an automatic and a non-automatic network. The Hydrocarbon Network Operator is responsible for the management of the network of air pollution monitoring sites throughout the UK for the measurement and assessment of Benzene and volatile organic compounds at automatic sites.
