Particulate Matter (PM2.5) is associated with early mortality and can exacerbate lung and heart conditions. Working with Nottingham City Council, Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants and the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham, my PhD involves exploring the spatial and temporal distribution of PM2.5 across the City of Nottingham using available monitoring data and modelling air pollution via ADMS Urban. This data will be combined with general practice and hospital admissions data of cardiovascular disease and deprivation indices to investigate links between air pollution and health in more and less deprived parts of the City. The project will also look at the impacts of changing transport policy on future air pollution levels to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities.
