This dataset contains gridded population with a spatial resolution of 1 km x 1 km for the UK based on Census 2011 and Land Cover Map 2007 input data. Data on population distribution for the United Kingdom is available from statistical offices in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and provided to the public e.g. via the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Population data is typically provided in tabular form or, based on a range of different geographical units, in file types for geographical information systems (GIS), for instance as ESRI Shapefiles. The geographical units reflect administrative boundaries at different levels of detail, from Devolved Administration to Output Areas (OA), wards or intermediate geographies . While the presentation of data on the level of these geographical units is useful for statistical purposes, accounting for spatial variability for instance of environmental determinants of public health requires a more spatially homogeneous population distribution. For this purpose, the dataset presented here combines 2011 UK Census population data on Output Area level with Land Cover Map 2007 land-use classes 'urban' and 'suburban' to create a consistent and comprehensive gridded population data product at 1 km x 1 km spatial resolution. The mapping product is based on British National Grid (OSGB36 datum).

Defra has published strategic noise map data that give a snapshot of the estimated noise from road and rail sources across England in 2021. The data was developed as part of implementing the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 (‘the regulations’).

This data will help transport authorities to better identify and prioritise relevant local action on noise. It will also be useful for planners, academics and others working to assess noise and its impacts.

The Air Quality Management Area for BristolThe air quality management area in Bristol has been declared due to exceedances of Nitrogen Dioxide annual and hourly objectives and as a precautionary measure, exceedances of objectives for particulate matter (PM10).Compliance with requirements of Local Air Quality Management Regulations and the National Air Quality Strategy.

Diffusion tubes are small, relatively inexpensive air pollution (nitrogen dioxide) monitors. They are small plastic tubes, open at one end with a gauze at the other end. The gauze is soaked in a chemical that captures the pollution and lets us work out the average amount of pollution in the air.

This data has all of the monthly pollution levels measured in Calderdale using diffusion tubes since 1993. The older measurements (1993-2003) were in “parts per billion”. One part per billion means that in one cubic metre of air there was one cubic millimetre of pollution. This unit can be converted to the one in use now, micrograms per cubic metre, by multiplying by 1.91. More recent measurements are reported in these units.

The diffusion tubes have been placed in many locations over the years, to investigate where the air pollution ‘hot spots’ might be, so the files may show different tubes for different years. Most of the tube locations are shown on Calderdale Maps Online.

These concentrations maps are provided to assist local authorities in support of Review and Assessment of local air quality. Users should note that 2010-based maps now replace the 2008-based maps. The 2010-based background maps are calibrated against monitoring data for 2010 Updated maps with a 2011 base will be released in due course. More information regarding the maps is available here.

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1995 local authorities are required to review air quality in their areas. When pollutants exceed their air quality objectives, local authorities must designate an air quality management area (AQMA).Upon accessing licenced data, you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the Public Sector End User Licence - INSPIRE

Caeli can provide this data through an API, dashboard, real-time geo map, or via datasets(.csv). In addition, all this data is available in daily, monthly and annual formats. The data can be delivered in various spatial resolutions starting from 0.001 degrees latitude and longitude (WSG 84), which roughly converts to 100X100 meter.

The Caeli datasets are often used for creating and validating various models and for training machine learning algorithms. We’ll allow you to specify your state or country, your preferred timeframe, resolution, and pollutant. Based on this information we’ll compile a reliable dataset. The measurements in de dataset can be used in determining the air quality of a region for a specific period of time. Additionally, your composite dataset can also serve for strategy and reporting purposes, such as ESG strategy, TCDF, SFDR, and sustainable decision making. The price of the dataset is based on the size of the area, the resolution chosen, and the number of years.

The data provide critical loads of acidity, and of nutrient nitrogen for the distributions of UK habitats sensitive to acidification and/or eutrophication. Critical loads have been calculated and applied to UK natural and semi-natural habitats sensitive to acidification and/or eutrophication (excess nitrogen as a nutrient). Critical loads data are available for these habitat types at 1x1 km resolution for the UK. In addition, acidity critical loads are available for 1752 selected freshwater sites throughout the UK. Critical loads are defined as the maximum pollutant load (of acid or nitrogen deposition) that a sensitive element of the environment (e.g., soils, vegetation) can tolerate without adverse harmful effects occurring, according to present knowledge. Habitat distributions are defined from a combination of CEH Land Cover Map 2000 and a number of ancillary data sets (e.g., species distributions, altitude, soils), used to further refine their distributions. It should be noted that the habitat distributions maps and areas provided here and used for UK critical loads research for Defra (a) only include areas where data exist for the calculation or derivation of critical loads; (b) may differ from other national habitat distribution maps or estimates of habitat areas. This may also result in a difference in the total habitat areas mapped for acidity and for nutrient nitrogen critical loads. The data have been generated under numerous Defra-funded contracts that brought together UK experts on the impacts of air pollution on UK habitats. The acidity critical loads data were last revised in 2004 and the nutrient nitrogen critical loads data were updated in 2011. The data are based on methods agreed at national and international meetings and workshops held under the UNECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP).

This site provides access to air monitoring data and aggregate statistics from 1986 onwards. The resource links below send you through to a form that will enable you to specify exactly what data you require.

Details

There are three types of data available: sensor data from air monitoring sites, aggregates of those data and details about NOx pollutants.

Sensor Data

From the website:

The database contains tables of measured concentration data and statistics from the air quality monitoring sites operated by Defra, the Scottish Government and Local Authorities. Estimates of emissions - the amount of pollution produced by a range of activities can be obtained from the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI).

Aggregates

From the website:

A range of simple statistics are routinely calculated by the database for the automatic monitoring data each night. These include:

• Daily mean, maximum and minimum values for all pollutants.
• 8-hour running mean values for ozone and carbon monoxide.
• Daily maximum 8-hour running means for ozone.
• Running 24-hour means for PM10 particulate matter

Pollutants

From the website

... background concentrations of NOx, NO2, and PM10. Numerical data can be downloaded for each 1 km x 1 km of Scotland in the form of comma separated (CSV) files. Co-ordinates are given for the centre of each 1 km x 1 km grid square.

Notes

Access to the data is slightly complicated, depending on the size of the data requested:

There are three options for the output of your database download, according to the size of the data request. Small enquiries can be shown on your screen using minimum HTML, moderately sized enquiries can be e-mailed to you as an attachment in comma separated format, or the largest enquiries will be left on an ftp site, also in comma separated format, for you to collect. The data on the ftp site will be wiped within seven days if it is not retrieved.

Glasgow City Council is required to review and assess air quality within its area. These reviews are the basis of local air quality management and are intended to compare current and future concentrations of key air pollutants with the objectives set in the National Air Quality Strategy. The National Air Quality Strategy has set and updated target concentrations for eight key air pollutants - benzene, 1,3-butadiene, carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particles and sulphur dioxide. This strategy is currently under review. As of the 1st March 2012, the Executive Committee of Glasgow City Council approved amendments to two of the three existing Air Quality Management Areas and the creation of a further AQMA covering the whole of the city. Glasgow now has AQMAs located at the City Centre, Byres Rd / Dumbarton Rd and Parkhead Cross. All of these have been declared for the pollutant nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The AQMA covering the whole of the city has been declared for the pollutant particles PM10. Data presented is a Shape file showing the location of these areas on a map. To view or use these files, a compression software and GIS software like ESRI ArcGIS or QGIS is needed. Projected coordinate system is OSGB36. Contains Ordnance Survey data (c) Crown Copyright 2013.
