Nitrogen Dioxide Air Quality Index for Nitrogen Dioxide is 1PM10 Particulate Air Quality Index for PM10 Particulate is 7These are the air pollution index values recorded on Wednesday 8 August 2012, 20:00 - 21:00 - BSTIndex value: 7 (out of 10)Air Pollution Band: HighThe Government's health advice for High air pollution is:Sensitive people may notice significant effects, and may have to take action to reduce or avoid them (for example, by reducing time spend outdoors). Asthmatics will find that their 'reliever' inhailer is likely to reverse the effects of pollution on their lungs.To see more information on the health effects of air pollution and how the index and bands are calculated visit the London Air website.

Rise up and complain people to The Environment Agency and Ealing Council - we do not have to put up with this filth any longer.

Have complained.  It must have fallen on deaf ears.I though that Michael Russell was going to contact you, about doing a piece in the Gazette.  Power of the press?

What with high levels of pollution recorded in Horn Lane, plus idiots burning obnoxious rubbish in their gardens we shall all be walking around wearing face masks!

This of course is disgraceful.  What the residents of this area do not understand is that although they cannot smell or see them, PM10's kill you. I would have thought that those with children would be marching on the Town Hall to demand that something be done by the Council's Environmental Health Department NOW.
