period), the trend is downards. Concentrations at four of
the sites exceed the UK legal limit. The lowest
concentration is double the WHO guideline.
The chart below shows how the annual average concentration of NO2 changed since mid-2020 at sites adjacent schools in Newham. At most sites, the trend was flat. At sites where NO2 concentrations were greatest, the trend for much of the period shown was rising. The trend for the most recent period is downards at almost all sites. Concentrations exceeded the legal limit adjacent one school and are generally between two and three times greater than the WHO guideline.
The following two charts show trends in the concentration of
nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter PM10 in
Newham as measured automatically at government reference sites
over the last few years.
