Air pollution NO2 & PM#
Last modified: 12 Sep 2025
UK LLC provides annual-average NO₂ and PM₂.₅ exposure data at high spatial resolution which can support health and environmental research.
More information about this dataset is available here.
Annual-average Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Fine particulate matter (PM2.5)#
The air pollution datasets modelled by University of Leicester/City St George’s, University of London contain continuous annual-average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure data, covering the years 2010-2019 for all residential address points where a UK LLC participant has permissions in place.
