Department Environmental Health Abbotsford House, David’s Loan, Address Falkirk, FK2 7YZ. Telephone 01324 504950 E-mail [email protected] Report Updating and Screening Assessment Reference (Air Quality) 2015 Date September 2015 Local Air Quality Management - U&SA 2015 1 Falkirk Council Executive Summary Falkirk Council has examined the air quality monitoring results in its area and concludes that no new Detailed Assessments are required of any pollutant. 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.
