Localised high and moderate levels of air pollution from particulate matter, are currently experienced in North West Northern Ireland. The weather situation is unlikely to change significantly over the next 24 hours which may cause this pollution to persist.
For further information and hourly updates on levels of particulate matter (PM10 & PM2.5), sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and carbon monoxide please see the Department's website: https://www.airqualityni.co.uk and for advice see http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/air-pollution-and-health
The high levels of pollution are believed to be as a result of local pollution - home heating emissions and the current cold, calm weather conditions in which pollutants are not being dispersed.
During periods of High Pollution the symptoms of people with lung or heart disease may worsen. Healthy people are unlikely to experience any ill effects.
