Multiyear Detailed Analysis of Air Pollution for all Postcodes in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The types of pollutants we cover are :

• Particulate Matter PM₁₀ , PM_2.5 - It consists of a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles of organic and inorganic substances suspended in the air. Particles with a diameter of 10 microns or less, (≤ PM ₁₀) can penetrate and lodge deep inside the lungs. PM_2.5 are even more damaging as it can penetrate the lung barrier and enter the blood system.
• Nitrogen Dioxide, NO₂) - It is a gaseous air pollutant which forms when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gas or diesel are burned at high temperatures. NO₂) causes increase in symptoms of bronchitis in asthmatic children and also linked to reduced lung function
• Sulphur Dioxide, SO₂ - It is a colourless gas with a sharp odour. It is produced from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) and the smelting of mineral ores that contain sulphur. SO₂ can affect the respiratory system and the functions of the lungs, and causes irritation of the eyes. When SO2 combines with water, it forms sulpuric acid; this is the main component of acid rain which is a cause of deforestation.
• Benzene - It is an air toxic emitted from gasoline service stations, motor vehicle exhaust and fuel evaporation. It can react with other chemicals and can also contaminate water and soil.
• Ozone - Ozone at ground level – not to be confused with the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere – is one of the major constituents of photochemical smog. Ozone damages vegetation and ecosystems by inhibiting the ability of plants to open the microscopic pores on their leaves to breathe.
• Nitrogen Oxide, NO_x - It is the pollution emitted by automobiles, trucks and various non-road vehicles. High levels of NO_x can have a negative effect on vegetation, including leaf damage and reduced growth.
