Improving air quality monitoring

Measures to improve air quality in the Horsham District moved up a gear recently with the introduction of new air pollution sensors.

New technology

As part of a four-year initiative to trial new air quality monitoring technology, the Council has acquired three Zephyr® air pollution sensors. The sensors have been installed across the District in the existing air quality management areas of Cowfold and Storrington, and for the first time, close to industrial processes in North Horsham.

Live Data

Horsham District residents can view air quality results from the Zephyr® units, updated every 60 seconds online. Data from our existing monitoring network continues to be available here. 

The new Zephyr® monitors will enable more detailed modelling of air quality so we can identify the measures that will be most effective in reducing air pollution and the damage it can cause to our health and the environment.

The sensors have been funded by the Defra air quality grant and Brighton and Hove City Council Carbon Neutral Fund.
