Forecasts are issued daily and cover the next five days.</p><p> </p><p>Although Defra does not have a permanent monitoring station in Hartlepool, the nearest monitoring stations can be found on UK-AIR’s interactive monitoring networks map at: <a href="http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/interactive-map" target="_blank">http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/interactive-map</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Modelled data is provided for levels at roadside locations for major roads in the UK. This data can also be found at: <a href="http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/data/gis-mapping" target="_blank">http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/data/gis-mapping</a>. Local authorities (in this case Hartlepool Council) have a responsibility to assess air quality at a local level. Defra provides guidance and air quality assessment tools to support local authorities in carrying out their duties under the Environment Act 1995. This information can be found at: <a href="http://laqm.defra.gov.uk/" target="_blank">http://laqm.defra.gov.uk/</a>.
