Anderson Drive Air Quality

Of all the monitored roads in Aberdeen, Anderson Drive appears the least polluted. Although NO2 records (fig. 18) have been taken since 2005, the site has never recorded above 30 µg m-3. PM10 (fig. 19) concentrations reflect a similar story, sitting at the 18 µg m-3 threshold in 2005, then displaying a decreasing trend over time. As of 2023, NO2 and PM10 sat at 11 and 9 µg m-3 respectively. PM2.5 records have only been ongoing since 2021, although they also sit well below the annual hourly mean limit.
