Air Quality Monitoring in the Dover District
Dover District Council is part of the Kent Air Quality
Partnership, which was established in 1992 to work towards
improving the quality of Kent's air. The Partnership is composed of
representatives from each district's transport, planning and
environment departments, Kent County Council, the Environment
Agency, National Power and other stakeholders related to air
quality issues.
Currently, the AEA Energy & Environment www.kentair.org.uk/about.php
manage the Kent & Medway monitoring network throughout the
County. The extent of the monitoring, combined with computer
modelling, enables us to pinpoint problem areas such as congested
roads or highly polluting industrial processes. It can be estimated
how much pollution is attributable to local sources and how much is
imported from Continental Europe.
Information on levels of six pollutants (Carbon monoxide, ozone,
nitrogen dioxide, fine particles and sulphur dioxide) reports and
statistics is available to the public every day.

The Council has completed some considerable studies on air
quality within the district. The latest reports can be downloaded

Garden Bonfires
Garden bonfires produce smoke which contains carbon monoxide and
toxic fumes and can ruin a neighbour's enjoyment of their garden,
prevent windows being opened and prevent them hanging out their
washing.
