Air Quality
This component demonstrates fetching data from TfL's air quality API'.
Disclaimer: This forecast is intended to provide information on expected pollution levels in areas of significant public exposure. It may not apply in very specific locations close to unusually strong or short-lived local sources of pollution. Source: http://londonair.org.uk/forecast
| Overview | Date | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Low air pollution forecast valid from Saturday 7 March to end of Saturday 7 March GMT | Cloudy on Saturday with mist developing later in the evening.An air feed which will have travelled from the north Atlantic via the North Sea is forecast. This is expected to be relatively 'clean', although there is the possibility of some import of Saharan dust which is currently present in the atmosphere over Europe. A light breeze locally should help prevent build-up of any local emissions.Air pollution is expected to remain 'Low' for the following pollutants:Nitrogen DioxideOzoneSulphur DioxidePM10 ParticulatesPM2.5 Particulates |
| Moderate | Moderate air pollution forecast valid from Sunday 8 March to end of Sunday 8 March GMT | Mist clearing on Sunday to give intermittent sunshine with mist again later in the evening.An air feed from the south and south east is expected to bring in air that had previously been over the near continent. This is likely to contain pollution emissions from urban, industrial and agricultural sources. An import of Saharan dust, which is currently present in the atmosphere over Europe, is also likely. In addition, at times poor dispersion of London's own emissions may result in a contribution from local pollution emissions.Overall particulate levels are expected to be highest later on Sunday and overnight into Monday.Air pollution is expected to remain 'Low' for the following pollutants:Nitrogen DioxideOzoneSulphur Dioxide |
