Uttoxeter sits within Staffordshire, and its air quality profile is driven mainly by road traffic and the density of the centre. Emissions along the A46 represent the town's main traffic-related pollution source. The region's typical south-westerlies do most of the work keeping things in check, more so than any local policy or infrastructure change.
