  • Banbridge District Council
    Banbridge District Council Updating and Screening Assessment of Local Air Quality April 2006 Executive Summary The Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 places a requirement on local authorities to carry out periodic reviews of current and likely future air quality within their district. This involves undertaking an assessment of whether statutory air quality standards and objectives are being achieved or are likely to be achieved within relevant periods. Seven specific pollutants for consideration are carbon monoxide (CO), benzene, 1,3-butadiene, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), lead, sulphur dioxide (SO2) and PM 10 (particles under 10µm in diameter). This is a report on an Updating and Screening Assessment of air quality across the Banbridge District Council District. The Council completed a two stage Review and Assessment of Air Quality Council for the period 2001 to 2005 and, to date, no AQMA’s have been declared. The first round of review and assessment was a four-stage process with the necessity to progress to each stage dependent upon the standard of air quality in each local authority area. Authorities were only required to progress to a further stage if it was determined that an exceedence of air quality standards and objectives was likely. In Banbridge District, Particulate Matter (PM 10 ), sulphur dioxide (SO 2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) were considered to a Stage 2/3 review and assessment. It was concluded that there was no likelihood of exceedence of the annual objectives for these pollutants. In the second round of review and assessment, local authorities are required to carry out an Updating and Screening Assessment (USA) by the end of April 2006.
