Scotland Background Maps

Mapped background concentrations for use in LAQM Review and Assessments undertaken by Scottish local authorities are available on the Scottish Air Quality Website. These maps differ from the UK model maps downloadable from the UK selector above and are created from a Scotland-specific model using Scottish monitoring data. They are available for NOx, NO2 and PM10 only.
