Government monitors compliance with legal limits for NO2 nationally. Under the Environmental Improvement Plan 2025, Government is refreshing wider guidance, webinars and resources to support local authorities in addressing air quality issues. Government guidance also recommends authorities produce local Air Quality Strategies to support ongoing proactive action on air pollution.
