Not surprisingly, where I live is a 1 (tiny village in middle of a forest)
The air is noticeably clean when walking/riding aroundPosted 1 hour ago # -
I don't believe the results for mine as I live in an area with significant particulates pollution. This doesn't take account of that only NOx

My street, and the rest of Leeds apparently, is 1 out of 6.
So why is Leeds on the list of cities for pollution charging?? Or is this just a load of balls???Posted 1 hour ago # -
Without doing that I reckon ours is pretty bad... Somedays I can see it

2/moderate apparently. I’m surprised! Just outside Manchester centre.

1 here, only a couple of hotspots around traffic pinch points in our town. I was in that London at the weekend, and quickly started feeling bunged up and stuffy. Trying to clear it, my normally nice clean green bogies were black and rank.

Good, halfway up a hill in a wood, I would've thought so

1. Where I live (unsurprising, Loughborough)
1. Where I work (surprising, Derby next to the Royces engine test beds!)

Some of the best in the world here now no need to check. Then I move to Manchester next month.

Why do BBC use images of cyclists, runners and green spaces in an article about how crap our air is? Surely they need images of lines of traffic, parked cars blocking everywhere, office heating plumes etc?

Mine is 1 apparently, I live just off a dual carriageway a mile from the M4...

Next week on BBC Worldwide, check our interactive map to see where most people are concerned about air quality. We asked 5000 concerned people for their postcodes...

Just checked my old London office postcode, a 3.
Where do you have to live to score 5?
In a security office at a coal fired power station?

1 at home, not a surprise. 2 at work, would have thought it would be higher as on the Queensway on the outskirts of Birmingham. But apparently all of Birmingham is a 2.

1 at home, 4 in work which is on Hagley Rd in Edgbaston, Birmingham so not really a suprise there.

Utter horseshit.
I got a 2 yet we are sufficiently close to the M62 for it to be classed as an asthma hot spot.
The level of pollution is one of the reasons why the local farm land can't be built on. If all of a sudden there is no pollution will the diggers roll in?

2. London suburbs. It would be useful to have particulates on that too, but is that very much more variable depending on weather?

The cyclist is wearing a "mask", the runner is clearly set against a background that is supposed to be smog and the mummy in the park is clearly looking down over a polluted city...People are too thick to link parked cars to a pollution problem. Office heating plumes are usually steam rather than classic pollutants (so would be misleading), and we are always telling people cyclists are traffic so I think you are getting concerned for the wrong reasons. Now why are they only showing images of seemingly fit, healthy people who are least affected by the pollution and not those with respiratory disease it kills?
More confusingly the centre of my small town scores 1 (the best) but the local eco-lobby are always making a big deal about it being one of the worst X towns in the country [something like 6th worst in Scotland - but I can't remember the exact stat]. Is the data being spun to make us believe the UK is cleaner than it really is? Who funded this NOx only data? How was it measured?

1 which is surprising given we have a log burner.
