Definition
UK-AIR is DEFRA’s air information resource for air pollution data, monitoring networks, modelled background maps and Local Air Quality Management material. An Air Quality Management Area is declared by a local authority after review and assessment identifies that air quality objectives are not likely to be achieved. For an area check, buyers should use UK-AIR and the local authority dashboard to understand whether the property sits near monitoring sites, major roads or an AQMA.
