Anyone know who provides the BBC Weather pages with their air
pollution forecasts ?

The BBC London weather page at

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2643743

shows "pollution LOW"

whereas the more authoritative page at

http://www.airtext.info/

shows

Forecast of Air Pollution Index for:
Saturday February 11th, 2012
Central London:
MODERATE air pollution expected everywhere

Indeed, it looks as if the level appears to be 6 at the high end of
the moderate band.


The BBC site may be less "authoritative", but given the latest
measurements is appears more accurate!

Since the BBC weather information is provided by the Met Office, it
ought to be authoritative.
