Rush-hour queues near the M1 are usually when readings climb the most. Like much of Doncaster, Doncaster's air quality is shaped less by industry these days and more by everyday road traffic. Residential heating and light industry add a modest seasonal contribution, though southwesterly winds keep overall levels moderate.
