Air Quality Monitoring Stations

We have a number of air quality monitoring stations in Belfast. They are:

• a city centre station in Lombard Street, which is part of the Automated Urban Network
• roadside sites on Ormeau Road, Newtownards Road and Stockman's Lane
• black smoke monitoring sites at Templemore Avenue, Dufferin Road and Belfast City Hall
• special diffusion tubes which measure oxides of nitrogen at several locations around Belfast.

You can read more about each of these sites on the Air Quality in Northern Ireland website
