Appendix 1
Monitoring Network Sites
The mapping work described in this report makes use of data from many of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions Air Quality Monitoring Networks (see Bower et al, 1997 and references therein). Data from monitoring sites in the following DETR networks were used:
- Automatic Urban Monitoring Network (AUN)
- Automatic Rural Monitoring Network (RMN)
- Automatic Hydrocarbon Monitoring Network (HC)
- Acid Deposition Secondary Network (ADSN)
- Rural Sulphur Dioxide Monitoring Network (RSO2)
- Multi Element (ME)
- Lead in Petrol (PB)
- Long-term rural (RUR)
Data from monitoring sites within the Joint Environment Programme of National Power, Eastern Generation and PowerGen (JEP) and the London Air Quality Network (LAQN) have also been made available and were used in this work.
Table A1 lists the sites in these networks. Only sites with sufficient data capture for annual concentrations to be calculated (generally >= 75%) were used in the mapping work. Each monitoring site is represented in the scatter plots shown in Figure 1 - 12 by a unique identification number, id, which is given in Table A1.
