Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Gasping for air
While traffic volume has risen hideously on Green Lanes since Whiteman closed, are there any air quality checks being done by the authorities?
It's just that we live ON Green Lanes and now keep the windows at the front closed but I'm beginning to wheeze.
Also, when Harringay Green Lanes station closes, will there be rail replacement services that also add to the congestion and wheezing?

Thanks I am so glad you are doing this study. We are on the ladder not the lanes but slightly uphill and I do think about air quality a lot given the volume of traffic. Please do share the findings widely as it would be great to be able to use proper data to feed in to the wider question about how address the MH to TPL traffic problem in the long term.

Hello Ant, was hoping to get hold of one of your diffusion tubes? How can we arrange that? J.

Hey Ant, dunno if you got my messages because of technical difficulties my end. However, you may or may not know that the air tester you placed on the sign post opposite my flat has been removed. Along with the entire sign post. Odd.

I take back the thing about traffic moving well today. Just been out and the tailback goes up to Manor House tube at least. And it's nose to tail. That was at 4.15pm.

It's Bank Holiday Monday. Hundreds of bargain hunters coming out of the Arena ?

I was way north at Crews Hill today and it was nose to tail. Bank Hols and decent weather are a lethal combination.

I suggest you make an appointment with your GP or Practice Nurse for the wheezing. Traffic fumes can aggravate existing asthma and there is increasing evidence that traffic pollution can trigger asthma in adults and children. And it may get worse as we head into (hopefully) warmer weather.

Just on the last point....yes there will be rail replacement bus services when the overground closes though I'm not sure what route they will take

I think it would be great to have a particulates monitor in Green Lanes too - PM2.5 & PM10. The major pollution incident in middle of March was mainly particulate. It would also be interesting to see the potential impact from all the charcoal grills in the restaurants - there's a visible smog around Green Lanes some days.
There's a 'background urban' air pollution monitor around Arsenal that could be compared to a Green Lanes monitor.
There's more on the mid-March pollution episodeat the London air site.
