Local Planning Authority (LPA) The local authority or council that is empowered by law to exercise statutory town planning functions for a particular area of the United Kingdom. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a gaseous air pollutant produced from combustion processes. In urban outdoor air, its presence is mainly due to traffic. Particles (PM) A mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Some particles, such as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, are large or dark enough to be seen. Others are very small, making them invisible to the naked eye. Review and Assessment (R&A) Local authorities have a duty under Local Air Quality Management to review and assess the air quality across their area.
