Annual SEM reports act as ‘building blocks’ towards the preparation of the regional state of the environment report every five years. The Council’s first, or
oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are produced from natural sources, motor vehicles and other fuel combustion processes. Indoor domestic appliances (gas stoves, gas or wood heaters) can also be significant sources of nitrogen oxides, particularly in areas that are poorly ventilated. NO and NO2 are of interest because of potential effects on human health. Nitric oxide is colourless and odourless and is oxidised in the atmosphere to form nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen

These concentrations should reduce once the site has been cleaned up, and in any case do not currently appear to be causing any adverse effects on the receiving environments i.e. estuary or the Patea River. With page the exception of asbestos, the concentrations of all on site contaminants are below the relevant guideline values. The risk from asbestos is currently minimised by the
