The imposition of stricter pollutant thresholds, changes in the technical guidance and methodologies for assessment led to an investigation of new areas. This review concluded that the NAQS for carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3-butadiene and lead would be achieved. It was also concluded that a detailed assessment would be required as a result of potential exceedences of the NAQS for NO2 and PM10 at busy roads and junctions and to investigate the likelihood of exceedences of the NAQS for sulphur dioxide at new residential premises introduced close to an industrial source.

Stage 2 2000
|
Additional monitoring was carried out and additional information was obtained concerning industrial and traffic sources. Screening assessments incorporating this new information were carried out in accordance with national guidance and concluded that the National Air Quality Standards and Objectives (NAQS) would be achieved in Dundee.

Stage 1 1998
|
The principle conclusion of Dundee City Council's Stage 1 report was that it was necessary to proceed to the next stage of assessment for all seven of the key LAQM pollutants ( nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ), particulate matter (PM10), lead, carbon monoxide (CO), benzene, 1,3-butadiene and sulphur dioxide(SO2) ). The chief reasons for this conclusion were a lack of available information relating to potentially significant traffic and industrial pollution sources within the city.
