You asked

Dear TfL I would like to request the figures that you record on monitors for air pollution levels over the last 5 years between Liverpool Street and Tottenham. I would like the monthly average of NO2 levels for the last 5 years from each monitor on the road between these two places. Please let me know if this is possible, and if not why this is not possible. If you could advise me on whether you need any more details that would be great also. Thank you very much.
