Abstract

The UK Airborne Particulate Concentrations and Numbers Network (AQ21636) currently operates four air pollution monitoring sites and one meteorological monitoring site. The sites are arranged so as to maximise the benefit of the measurements made, in terms of drawing conclusions about the concentrations and chemical composition of particles in ambient air at these locations, and understanding more fully the sources.

The network provides data on airborne particles by using instruments that measure number concentrations, number size distributions, Black Carbon, Organic and Elemental Carbon concentrations and anion/cation concentrations.

This report shows a summary of the 2015 data collected within this network, along with main findings, a comparison with previous years and a comparison with measurements carried out in other networks.
