Nitrogen dioxide sits at about 24 µg/m³ — inside the UK limit of 40 but well above the WHO guideline of 10, typical of streets with steady traffic. Fine particulates (PM2.5) are around 9 µg/m³ — above the strict WHO guideline of 5 but low by urban standards. Coarser PM10 sits at 16 µg/m³ against a UK limit of 40. These are modelled annual background levels, not kerbside spikes — a tree-lined side street and a bus corridor can differ within the same square.
