Dover District Council is part of the Kent Air Quality Partnership, which was established in 1992 to work towards improving the quality of Kent's air. The Partnership is composed of representatives from each district's transport, planning and environment departments, Kent County Council, the Environment Agency, National Power and other stakeholders related to air quality issues.
Currently, the AEA Energy & Environment www.kentair.org.uk manage the Kent & Medway monitoring network throughout the County. The extent of the monitoring, combined with computer modelling, enables us to pinpoint problem areas such as congested roads or highly polluting industrial processes. It can be estimated how much pollution is attributable to local sources and how much is imported from Continental Europe.
Information on levels of six pollutants (Carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, fine particles and sulphur dioxide) reports and statistics is available to the public every day.
The Council has completed some considerable studies on air quality within the district. The latest reports can be downloaded below. Hard copies of reports are available from Environmental Health:
