Mid Ulster District Council’s development committee has called on the local authority to send a letter to residents of two roads in Co Tyrone where the air is, according to a councillor, “not fit for human consumption”.
An air quality report presented to members of the committee at its meeting on Thursday, October 13, shows three air quality management areas (AQMA) in the district are located at Newell Road in Dungannon, Charlemont Street in Moy and Magherafelt town centre.
In two of these locations the levels of nitrogen dioxide have exceeded the air quality goal of 40µg/m³. The Newell Road, Dungannon AQMA the level of nitrogen oxide in the air is 45µg/m³ and in Charlemont Street, Moy it is 47µg/m³.
