How these figures were made

The small numbers after figure labels refer to this key. They show how a figure was made, not how accurate it is. Open any figure to see its source, date and important limits.

  1. Published figureTaken directly from the named source.
  2. Combined recordsSeveral published records combined into one total, average or summary.
  3. Model estimateEstimated by a model rather than measured at this postcode.

Council Air Quality Management Areas

Published council-wide context for councils linked to Neath, not a finding about the whole place or a property.

These records are published for councils linked to known active postcodes in this place. The councils cover a wider area: a listed designation is not a finding that it intersects this town or any property. The list may not be exhaustive. AQMAs are management designations, not measured pollution concentrations, property exposure or clean-air charging zones. Absence of a designation is not evidence of clean air. Great Britain only; Northern Ireland mapping is not included.
