Human exposure to air pollution

In the context of the Healthy Urban Living programme we implemented a set of Land Use Regression models to determine the spatial distribution of several air pollution concentrations (e.g. NO2, NOx). These models cover the entire Netherlands at 5m resolution (the figure below shows the PM10 concentration). We combine these field-based concentration maps with human activity patterns, for instance to calculate the total exposure of individuals during their home-work travel.
