Data Collection Event
We assigned exposure to long term ambient levelsof nitrogen dioxides (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter with aerodynamic diameterless than 2.5μm (PM2.5), between 2.5 μm and 10 μm (PM2.5–10, i.e., coarse particulate matter), less than 10μm (PM10) and PM2.5 light absorption (hereafter referred to as PM2.5absorbance) based onland use regressions models. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was assigned basedon remote sensing data, percentage green space and blue space were calculated based on land usemaps and modelled road traffic noise was available through the strategic noise map for Barcelona.Results:
