The indicative radon map shows radon Affected Areas on a 1km grid.
The darker the colour the greater the chance of a higher level. The chance is less than one home in a hundred in the white areas and greater than one in three in the darkest areas. | |

Air composition
Monitored data from the CEDA Archive and Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory (WACL)
Sensors for measuring air composition and greenhouse gases at the Kirby Misperton site were decommissioned on 26 February 2020 as it was concluded that further shale-gas exploration at the site was unlikely following public statements made by the site operator.
More information and data can be found from the CEDA Archive
and
WACL data portal.

Seismicity
The images show a day of seismic data for a single channel. Each horizontal line is 30 minutes long with the start time given on the left axis and each vertical line marking one minute. The times are in UTC (or GMT) and so are an hour behind local time in summer.
The colours are simply to make interpretation easier. Seismic activity is shown when a line goes from flat to moving up and down. This is most likely to be something local to the station - a passing tractor or large animal. Earthquakes are distinct because they cause activity on several stations at the same time.
