The pollutants measured and method used by each network depends upon the reason for setting up the network, and what the data are to be used for.</p> <p>An <a href="../interactive-map">interactive monitoring map</a> is available to view the locations of the sites in the UK networks.</p> <p>There are two major types of monitoring networks in the UK - <a href="network-info?view=automatic">automatic</a> and <a href="network-info?view=non-automatic">non-automatic</a> networks.
