An air quality assessment was carried out at Kilkitt in order to measure the levels of additional pollutants.
Monitoring was done by a mobile unit containing continuous monitors for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and benzene. Continuous samples were also taken for particulates (PM10) and lead.
Results were collected from 11/9/2002 to 4/3/2003 and compared with the assessment thresholds in the Air Quality Regulations to determine the type of monitoring required long term.
