The maps of the AQMAs are available online at: http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/airquality An AQMA is required when a pollutant fails to meet air quality standards which are set by the Scottish Government. Road traffic is by far the greatest contributor to the high concentrations of NO2 in the city. However, the AQMA at Salamander Street declared for PM10 is due to sources other than traffic. Emissions from dust generating activities associated with operations at Leith Docks are a contributory factor. Earlier assessment work has shown that the NO2 contribution from each vehicle class is different within the AQMAs. For example, cars were shown to contribute the most at Glasgow Road AQMA, with buses having the largest impact along some routes in the Central AQMA (London Road, Gorgie Road/Chesser, Princes Street) and HGVs having a significant impact at Bernard Street. -

The document requires to be read in conjunction with the Updating and Screening Assessment Report for City of Edinburgh Council 2015. This report concludes that steady progress has been achieved with respect to management of emissions from buses and freight via a voluntary approach. However, it is evident that the VERP proposed target of buses to be 100% Euro 5 by the end of October 2015 will not be achieved. Lothian Buses is the main local service provider in Edinburgh. It is anticipated that 66% of the fleet will be Euro 5 or better by December 2015. The company continues to deploy their cleanest vehicles on high- frequency routes that transit AQMAs. -
