The joint Public Health England (PHE)-BGS Indicative Atlas of Radon in the United Kingdom presents an overview of the results of detailed mapping of radon potential (defined as the estimated percentage of homes in an area above the radon action level). This data is updated infrequently.

Data indicating the level of noise according to the strategic noise mapping of rail sources within areas with a population of at least 100,000 people (agglomerations) and along Network Rail and HS1 traffic routes. LDEN indicates a 24 hour annual average noise level with separate weightings for the evening and night periods. This data is updated infrequently.

The Environmental Noise Directive required the Welsh Government to produce noise maps in 2017. This data package contains all the sound level contours calculated in 2017, in 5-decibel “A-weighted” contour bands. It also contains spatial data on the sources modelled (the major roads and industrial sites in agglomerations). LDEN indicates a 24 hour annual average noise level with separate weightings for the evening and night periods. This data is updated infrequently.

A Ramsar site is the land listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat (the Ramsar Convention) 1973. The data is updated approximately yearly and does not include 'proposed' sites.
