Project Title Neighbourhood_Exposures
Owners Geoffrey Morgan, Ivan Hanigan
Project Abstract Project aiming to provide robust small area / neighbourhood level exposure estimates of air pollution for health research. The key motivating case study is the Sydney region and the 45andUp cohort. We have a lot of existing exposure data in Sydney/NSW to work with and have identified data ‘blending’ as an attractive approach to derive high resolution spatial exposure surfaces.

Abstract These tools are primarily intended to allow R users to develop a project that can run the BME Matlab tool. We have developed a process in R to create the input datasets and estimate a PDF for the soft data using a triangular PDF with the function “pdf4bme_triangular.R” available at the Bitbucket open-source code repository (https://bitbucket.org/ivanhanigan/bmetools).

Abstract Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a pollutant mostly emitted by traffic and has been associated with respiratory and cardiovascular health problems. Using the very precise air quality monitors installed around Sydney, along with sophisticated modelling by the collaborators, we are gaining insights that other studies have missed about the lower levels of NO2 exposure. We have been able to produce the best maps so far of air pollution for Sydney, and the scale is down to a hundred metres or so. Previous analysis used scales of several kilometres. These new maps are much closer to the level of detail needed to accurately determine health impacts and plan for the future. This research was published as ‘Blending Multiple Nitrogen Dioxide Data Sources for Neighborhood Estimates of Long-Term Exposure for Health Research’ in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

Abstract This project focus was a R Shiny app for near real time (NRT) exposure_assessment_app. We generated high-resolution (50m) NO2 surface and a pathfinding service (we explored Opentripplanner, OpenRouteService and Google Maps Platform). The project also provides an outline of the use of webscraper and use of the new DPIE API to retrieve live monitor data.
