	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>An assessment was carried out in 2013, and showed that all monitored locations in the UK were well below the carbon monoxide (CO) limit value set for the protection of human health (10mg/m<sup>3</sup>). In addition, levels were below the lower assessment threshold (set at 5mg/m<sup>3 </sup>or 50% of the limit value). This established no ongoing requirement under the Air Quality Directive to continue monitoring for CO in ambient air in the UK. A core network of seven monitoring sites has been maintained to continue to observe ongoing trends.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 20/12/2017 17:34:40 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
