The Sheffield Clean Air Partnership has been formed to address the issue of air quality in Sheffield,South Yorkshire, UK.

In particular the Partnership has been involved in the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) process in the city. This has included assisting in the preparation, production and consultation around the Air Quality Action Plan for the city. This Action Plan was produced to address air quality improvements with the Air Quality Management Area.

Parts of Sheffield are predicted to exceed the UK Government's annual objective for nitrogen dioxide. These areas must be declared as Air Quality Management Areas. Nitrogen dioxide is an air pollutant that is produced largely by road traffic, and to a lesser extent by industry and homes. The Government requires all local authorities to produce an Action Plan for reducing air pollution where one or more Air Quality Management Areas have been declared. The Action Plan should explain the interventions required to reduce air pollution levels so that they meet the set objectives.
