How good is the actual outdoor air quality?

Data from the Automatic Urban and Rural Network.

Map of 346 local andunitary authorities.

144 AURNmonitoring locationsare blue * and red 4.

Challenges: (i) Howdo we estimate airpollution at any newlocation?(ii) How can werelate air pollution tohealth outcomedata?

Our contribution

1 To model daily levels of four major pollutants namely, NO2,O3, PM10 and PM2.5, for the period 2007–2011.

2 To build a spatio-temporal model that allows us tointerpolate at any unobserved location.

3 To integrate output from a computer simulation modelAQUM (Air Quality Unified Model) (Savage et al. 2013).

Aggregating to local and unitary authority (LUA) areas

Map of 346 LUAs in England andWales.

A 1-kilometer square grid(151248 gray dots) issuperimposed.

Average air pollution in any LUAis the block average of thepollutions in the gray dots fallingwithin that LUA.

Our best Bayesian model is used to interpolate (modelbased Kriging) the air pollution at the gray dots.Thus we produce air pollution estimate at any LUA at anytime point (daily, monthly, annual)!

Conclusions

1 We have proposed a number of spatio-temporal statisticalmodels which worked well for all four important pollutants,PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2.

2 Our model fills up the sparsity of the observed air qualitydata by integrating output from the AQUM which areavailable over a fine grid.

3 Our models also improve similar other modelling attempts(e.g. Pirani et al.).

4 We are able to measure long term exposure since we havemodelled daily data for a 5 year period for whole of UK, forall four pollutants.

5 We are not aware of any similar study offering high qualityair pollution estimates along with their individual errorrates.

Discussion

1 Statistical models have the added advantage of producingthe correct prediction uncertainty in air pollution estimates,which are required by the health outcome model.

2 MCMC sampling also enables us to estimate theuncertainties in the spatial (point to local authority level)and temporal (daily to monthly or annual) aggregates.

3 Statistical modelling is preferable since the models providea complete description of the data, not only the summariesand averages, but also the variability of the data.

4 All the assumptions in the modelling are also explicit whichenables their scrutiny and can suggest to re-modelling forfurther improvement.

5 By building a statistical model we are able to account for(rather than ‘adjust for’) the effects of all the variables (e.g.site types).
