What have the average levels of pollution been around Ealing Broadway in 2019, 2020 and 2021?
Sadiq Khan
Mayor of London
The London Borough of Ealing monitors nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by diffusion tube at three sites in the vicinity of Ealing Broadway: EA25 at 12 Bond Street; EA26 at 8 Spring Bridge Road, and EA28 at 41-42 Haven Green.
Appendix 1 gives the monitoring results. In 2016 all 3 sites were in exceedance of the annual legal limit, with site EA26 also exceeding the indicative threshold for exceeding the hourly limit. Due to the action I have taken on air pollution since 2016, there was an average 33% reduction at all sites between 2016 and 2020, with two out of three sites meeting the annual legal limit in 2020 and site EA26 only slightly exceeding it. The GLA does not yet have the data for 2021. The borough will finalise this data and submit it later this year.
All of Ealing’s air quality monitoring results are available on the council’s website: https://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/201199/air_quality
