Camden’s Air Quality in June 2023
Our latest report analyses the air quality in Camden, London, during June 2023. This comprehensive study, which involved data from 80 sensor nodes, underscores concerns about PM2.5, O3, and NO2 pollution levels in the borough.
Perhaps the most striking revelation in this report is the persistent breach of the World Health Organization’s guidelines for NO2, especially in areas with heavy traffic. The data demonstrate a direct correlation between heightened NO2 levels and increased temperatures, indicating a pressing need for the implementation of effective pollution control measures.
The report also indicates a surge in O3 concentrations during June, indicating the link to prolonged periods of sunshine and higher temperatures. Notably, between the 10th and 18th June, O3 levels noticeably increased and triggered a city-wide high pollution alert.
Additionally, PM2.5 levels elicited concerns, with the report noting significant surges on specific days in June. Localised pollution hotspots were observed in High Holborn, Fitzjohn’s Ave, and North End Way.
Given the overall rise in Camden’s Air Quality Index (AQI) during June, AirScape’s street-level air quality data in real time empowers immediate and strategic action to improve the area’s air quality.
