Dear Mr Lewis

 

Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Information Request - 000456/19

 

With regard to your Freedom of Information request received on 26/02/2019,
please find our response below.

 

 

Please can you provide the detail of what air quality measuring devices
you have located along the entire river foreshore and their location; what
they are measuring; how long have they been installed?

 

We do not monitor directly along the Humber Estuary Foreshore, or beside
the River Hull, as the local air quality objectives relate to areas where
people are exposed for the relevant averaging period.  Compliance with the
objectives for ecological sites are determined by interpolation of the
existing data and on a case by case basis, generally when a development is
proposed that has the potential to impact on it.

 

Details of monitoring carried out in Hull is contained in the Annual
Status Report (ASR) and a copy of the latest one is attached.  Further
information is available through the Council’s Air Quality Officer, who
can be contacted on 01482 300300.

 

We hope that you will be satisfied with our response and should you
require any further information then please do not hesitate to contact
us. 

 

Should you wish to complain about our response in any way this must
initially be done by e-mailing [1][Hull City Council request email] or by
contacting us at The Information Governance Team, The Guildhall, Alfred
Gelder Street, Hull, HU1 2AA.

 

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the internal review then you
may take your complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the
government body established to enforce the legislation.
