<p>The report <em>Air pollution in the UK 2015</em>, which was published in September
2016, reported all four locations to be compliant in all air pollutants levels with
the exception of the mean annual concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>)
that were all reported to be above the 40 μg/m<sup>3</sup> limit value.</p><p>The
2015 national air quality plan for NO<sub>2</sub> showed the highest projected mean
annual concentrations of NO<sub>2 </sub>to be 42 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, 41 μg/m<sup>3</sup>,
43 μg/m<sup>3</sup> and 35 μg/m<sup>3 </sup>in 2020, for the respective air quality
zones for Nottingham, Southampton, Derby and Bath. The projections modelling is being
updated to take into account the latest evidence and the final revised air quality
plan will be published by 31 July, following consideration of consultation responses.</p>
