Details
This project examined the results of an ambient air quality monitoring campaign that was carried out over 3 years by the Environment Agency’s Ambient Air Monitoring team near a well pad exploring for shale gas at Preston New Road, Little Plumpton, Lancashire.
The monitoring site was in the nearest residential community, and the results provided information about the well pad’s potential impact on air quality to reassure residents that air quality in the community was being routinely monitored and assessed.
