The
Earls Court area now benefits from an air quality monitor installed near the
Warwick road tube station entrance on the junction with Trebvoir Road.
The monitor measures fine
particular matters ( PM2.5 )
and
nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The data of the Warwick Road
monitor is accessible by clicking
here
The monitor has been installed following a successful application
by the Earls Court Society Environmental and Highways Group to the Breathe
London Programme run by Imperial College London, supported by the
Bloomberg Philanthropic Foundation.
There are a growing number of these
monitors throughout London. The general aim is to raise awareness of the
often high levels of air pollution, the impact it has on health and the changes
each of us can make to improve the air quality in our area.
