ENGLAND-WIDE OFFICIAL MONITORING REVIEW

England Air Quality Network Review — 30-day official monitoring evidence

Whole-network discovery, configured-stream completeness and bounded NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 analysis across England.

Official provisional monitoring data — subject to subsequent ratification.

Review period2026-08-18 to 2026-09-16latest completed source-calendar day with valid evidence in all 9 English regions
English regional coverage9 / 9100.0%
Reporting station coverage142 / 14399.3%
Configured-stream completeness96.3%9,544 / 9,914 pollutant-day observations

England-wide AURN review meeting the predefined coverage criteria

National coverage criteria met. All nine regions, pollutant-level thresholds, the region-by-pollutant floor and time-basis assurance passed for this run.

Provisional-data and time-basis assurance

Parser assurance: PASS. Official annual files are interpreted as GMT hour ending; daily aggregation uses the printed source calendar date. The printed source date is retained for daily aggregation, and 24:00 is represented chronologically as next-day 00:00 UTC without moving the observation into the next daily mean.

24:00 evidence retained: 79,824 pollutant observations. Status flags: {'R': 1303704, 'P': 616763}.

R = ratified, P = provisional and P* = as supplied. Provisional and as-supplied values are clearly retained but must not be represented as final ratified statistics.

Scientific boundary

This review automatically discovers the active English AURN network and analyses available official hourly data. It is not population-weighted, does not estimate personal exposure and does not establish source contribution, causation, legal compliance or health impact. Invalid daily means are retained for transparency but are not classified against WHO contextual references.

Eligible regional PM2.5 pattern

Only regions meeting the multi-station eligibility rule are shown; values are µg/m³.

PM2.5 station comparison

Data are provisional unless the station-day is shown as ratified. Values may change after UK-AIR ratification.
