Only change since 2013 entry is 'updated in a timely manner' being changed from 'Yes' to 'Unsure' because there are no indications of the frequency of updates.

The register is free to browse but viewing company details requires a login, which must be applied for. Therefore the only details that can be viewed without an account are name, incorporation date and registration number.

Another version of the public register may be found at Open Corporates (non-gov/third party source) and is downloadable as open data via API. https://assets.opencorporates.com/companies/bm They presumably obtained this dataset from scraping the registry.

Airborne particulate matter (TSP, PM10, and PM2.5); Toxic gases (SO2 and NOx); Rain and aerosol chemistry (major ions, conductivity, and pH); Meteorological data (e.g., wind speed and direction) http://www.bios.edu/research/projects/air-quality-program/
