The dashboard colours show how PM₁₀ levels sit in relation to the guideline – from green (less than 10%) to red (more than 100% of the guideline).  The guideline (100%) value for the daily average PM₁₀ is 50 µg/m³ and  20 µg/m³  for the annual average.  There are no guidelines for hourly or monthly data (charcoal colour).  

This graph shows how levels of PM₁₀ change on an hourly, daily, monthly or annual basis for the selected time period. The levels depend on local sources of emissions and what the weather is doing.  Emissions from various sources change, depending on whether it’s a weekday or the weekend or at different times of the year (e.g. emissions from home heating goes up in the cold winter months).  Still conditions often lead to high concentrations, as there is no wind to blow away the pollutants in the air.   The PM₁₀ concentrations are shown against the guidelines for air quality (for daily and annual averages), and where concentrations exceed the guideline (red line) this can be a cause for concern, especially if this occurs on a frequent basis. 

Exceedance data (when available) shows the number of days per year that the concentrations went above 100% of the air quality guideline.

The dashboard colours show how sulphur dioxide levels sit in relation to these guidelines – from green (less than 10%) to red (over the guideline).   The guideline (100% value) for the hourly average is 350 µg/m³ and 120 µg/m³ for the daily average.  There are no guidelines for monthly or annual data (charcoal).

The dashboard colours show how carbon monoxide levels sit in relation to the guideline – from green (less than 10%) to red (over the guideline).  The guideline (100% value) for the hourly average carbon monoxide is 30 mg/m³.  There are no guidelines for daily, monthly or annual data (charcoal colour).
