The map shows the predicted pollution caused by the emissions from the proposed incinerator at Arena Way, Wimborne.

The red line shows wind direction. Green rings show distance (km). Colours show concentration of oxides of nitrogen at ground level. Maximum: 902 ng/m3. This is the concentration at the location that is most polluted by the plume.

Breakdown of pollutants at most polluted location (green = background, red = added by plume):

Oxides of nitrogen
Particulates
Sulphur dioxide
Carbon monoxide
Hydrogen flouride
Hydrogen chloride
TOC
Dioxins and furans
Cadmium and Thallium
