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.
