Pollutants

1 over WHO guide

Every pollutant is within UK legal limits, but 1 sits above the stricter WHO guideline.

Each reading is the average amount of that pollutant in the air, in micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m³). For every pollutant, lower is better.

PM2.5 · Fine Particulate Matter

Stable

Tiny particles (under 2.5 microns) from traffic, dust and burning, fine enough to reach deep into the lungs. The most harmful particle pollutant.

5µg/m³ Good
WHO 5 µg/m³UK 20 µg/m³

The dot shows this property’s reading. The two lines mark the WHO health target and the UK legal limit. Further left is cleaner air. Scale only, not a limit.

Well within both UK and WHO safe limits. (75% below the UK legal limit)

Stable

Larger particles (up to 10 microns) from dust, construction and road wear that irritate the airways.
