	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <p>Air quality is generally improving in the UK, as set out in the annual National Statistics report at the following URL: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/air-quality-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/air-quality-statistics</a>.</p><p> </p><p>There are 171 automatic national monitoring stations producing hourly air quality measurements in the UK operated by the Environment Agency on behalf of Defra. Near real-time measurements from these sites and further data tools can be found on the UK-AIR website (<a href="https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk</a>).</p><p> </p><p>There are no automatic national monitoring stations in Carshalton and Wallington constituency. However, the London Borough of Sutton also assesses air quality using three automatic monitors within the constituency boundary: two are industrial monitoring stations at Beddington Lane, and the other site is a roadside site in central Wallington. Near real-time measurements from these sites can be found on the London Air website which is managed by King’s College London (<a href="http://londonair.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://londonair.org.uk</a>). Air quality is improving at all three sites, with only the Wallington site providing an exceedance of the annual mean limit value for nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) in 2019 (based on provisional data).</p><p> </p><p>The Borough also uses 15 passive monitors to measure NO<sub>2</sub> within the constituency boundaries; measurements are made available through Annual Status Reports (<a href="https://www.sutton.gov.uk/info/200497/pollution/1232/air_pollution/3" target="_blank">https://www.sutton.gov.uk/info/200497/pollution/1232/air_pollution/3</a>).
