North Somerset is not a smokeless zone and we don't
monitor smoke levels.
Smoke is defined as a suspension of particles less
than 5mm in diameter.
Smoke can act as a carrier for other gaseous or liquid pollutants
and can cause ill health especially when in combination with
Sulphur Dioxide.
The highest levels of smoke are generally found during the winter
months due to an increase in the burning of bonfires especially
around Guy Fawkes night.
