Details of the sites and monitors located within each monitoring station can be found on the LondonAir website. In order to review and assess air quality as part of the duties under London Local Air Quality Management, air quality monitoring stations are operated throughout both boroughs.

The collection of reliable data helps to inform the effectiveness of the other measures that are being implemented to improve air quality across the boroughs and the data is included within the statutorily required Annual Status Report. invoice annually.
