Research data supporting “Modelling the dispersion of particle number concentrations in the West Midlands, UK using the ADMS-Urban model”

Because of their small sizes, UFPs can penetrate cells and tissue, accumulate in lungs, and cause health effects. Particle number concentrations (PNC) are the most common measure for UFPs with very low (individual) mass.

UFPs often dominate the total ambient PNC in urban environments. There is a strong need to quantify the PNC in the ambient air through measurements and modelling. This dataset covers the modelled and measured PNC at the Birmingham Air Quality Supersite, and PNC maps at a variety of spatial (i.e. 10m, ward level and local authority level) for the baseline modelling year of 2019.
