The map shows the predicted pollution caused by the emissions from the proposed incinerator at Hamilton.

The red line shows wind direction. Green rings show distance (km). Colours show concentration of oxides of nitrogen at ground level. Maximum: 11 µg/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
TOC
Hydrogen chloride
Hydrogen flouride
Carbon monoxide
Sulphur dioxide
Ammonia
Cadmium and thallium
Mercury
