Care home works blamed for Queensferry Road air pollution rise
EDINBURGH City Council will not set up a seventh Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in the Capital after an increase in harmful particle matter was blamed on the construction of a care home.
The council’s air quality annual progress report reveals that “long term trends show concentrations are going down for both nitrogen dioxide and particles”.
But the findings also show there are still “a number of hotspot areas where legal standards are breached”.
