The latest trends for 20 years of monitoring ecological health and the
physical and chemical state of our rivers and streams show most
measures are improving or not changing significantly, and are again
the best since our measurements began.

Background
Particles found in the air we breathe vary greatly in size. The greatest health hazard from
particles comes from the smallest ones – less than 10 microns (10 µm or 10 micrometres)
across – because we easily inhale these small particles into our lungs. These particles are
referred to as PM10 (referring to their size) or as inhalable

visitors as they arrive. Thus we will not be calling on our pool of willing volunteers to
help over these periods.
Rest assured, should the situation
