North West London Air Pollution Exposure Estimates

Dataset

Documentation

Description:
Modelled concentrations (µg/m3) of annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter with diameter <2.5µm (PM2.5) were linked to postcode centroids in Greater London. Air pollution exposure estimates (i.e. concentrations) were derived using models developed for the year 2015 by overlaying the x,y location of postcode centroids with NO2 and PM2.5 maps (25m x 25m resolution) within a geographic information system (GIS). Following analysis of changes in air pollution measurements over time, using routine monitoring data from the DEFRA-run Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN), we made adjustments to the 2015 modelled concentrations to estimate 2010 to 2019 exposures using a method know as ‘differencing’ (Gulliver et al. 2013).

Accessibility

Access

Access Service:
Researchers will have access to a secure workspace via an airlocked Azure Virtual Desktop with a specific username and password. Researchers will get specific access to a relevant subset of the datasets that are present in the SDE catalogue for their project and will be able to carry out their research within the safe haven. There are restrictions applied which prevent the researchers from taking data out of the safe haven. Once the research is completed the London SDE admin team will need to be contacted for any requests to egress summary analysis out of the safe haven which will not breach 5 safe standards.
Access Request Cost:
In Progress
Delivery Lead Time:
1-2 months
Data Controller:
Joint data controller model across London: North Central London Integrated Care System (NCL ICS), Central London Integrated Care System (CL ICS), East London Integrated Care System (EL ICS), West London Integrated Care System (WL ICS), South London Integrated Care System (SL ICS)
Data Processor:
The data processor for the London Secure Data Environment (SDE) is primarily managed by OneLondon, a partnership of London"s five integrated care systems (ICSs) and three health innovation networks.
