In 2014 the Falkirk West Bridge St automatic monitoring site and the diffusion tube on the same street breached the annual NO 2 objective. There were no other diffusion tubes that breached the annual NO 2 objective. In addition, no automatic monitoring sites breached the annual or daily PM 10 objectives. The six SO 2 automatic monitors met all three (15-minute, hourly and daily) objectives during 2014. However, the number of exceedances at the Grangemouth MC site could be considered to be close to the 15-minute objective with 30 exceedances. There were no exceedances of the hourly or daily limit value at the monitoring sites. The 2014 results continue the objective compliance recorded both in 2013 and since the commissioning of the Tail Gas Unit at the refinery. The benzene and 1,3 butadiene diffusion tube monitoring conducted in 2014 met the objectives. The PM 2.5 monitor at the Grangemouth AURN site recorded a concentration of 8 µg/m 3.

Authority Reviewed by: Stuart Henderson Officer and Alf Hillis. Department Environmental Health Address Abbotsford House, David’s Loan, Falkirk, FK2 7YZ. Telephone 01324 504950 E-mail [email protected] Report Ref: 2013 Progress Report Status Final version following Scottish Government appraisal. No changes to June version. Date October 2013 2 Progress Report 2013 Falkirk Council - Scotland October 2013 Executive Summary Falkirk Council has examined its air quality monitoring results and concluded that no Detailed Assessments are required for any pollutant. In 2012 the annual nitrogen dioxide objective was breached at the Falkirk West Bridge St monitoring site. This site is within the Falkirk Town Centre Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). It is concluded that a Detailed Assessment is not required for the one tube (NA83) that recorded a concentration above the nitrogen dioxide objective but is outside of an AQMA. This is because with the distance to the nearest receptor taken into account no breach of the objective is predicted. In January 2013 the Falkirk Town Centre AQMA was amended to include the Scottish PM 10 objectives. This was required due to breaches of the objectives at the Falkirk West Bridge St site in previous years. In 2012 all monitoring sites met the PM 10 objectives, although the Falkirk West Bridge St site was near to breaching both the annual and daily Scottish PM 10 objectives. In 2012 all three Grangemouth sites within the existing AQMA recorded a breach of the 15- minute objective.
