The Environmental Control and Protection team has launched a one-year project to monitor PM2.5 air pollution across the county and are seeking hosts for 100 low-cost air quality sensors. The air quality sensors will measure PM2.5 air pollution, small particles in the air that can increase the risk of health problems and that can be damaging to the environment.

This is part of Wiltshire Council’s Wiltshire Community Air Network (WCAN) project and is the first step in gathering evidence on local PM2.5 concentrations. The sensors will provide real time data which members of the public will be able to access online.

Individuals and organisations can now apply online to borrow a sensor. The closing date for applications is Friday 11 July 2025. For further details please see the below document.
