Response

Please find attached spreadsheets of the hourly NO2 monitoring data recorded at the two automatic monitoring stations in Chester during the period 01/04/2020 to 31/07/2020. There were no exceedances of the 1-hour standard (200 micrograms per cubic metre [ug/m3]) at either site. The period means for the Bus Interchange and Boughton were 20ug/m3 and 12ug/m3 respectively. The annual mean for 2020 will not be available until conclusion of the current calendar year. Please be aware the data is provisional at the present time and subject to ongoing quality control.
