Identification and Verification of Ultrafine Particle Affinity Zones in Urban Neighbourhoods / A Proof of Concept Proposal

Lead Research Organisation: University of Manchester
Department Name: Earth Atmospheric and Env Sciences

Abstract

Recent research has revealed that inhalation of particulate pollution in the atmosphere of British cities can cause or worsen a number of respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, even leading to an increase in the number of deaths amongst vulnerable persons on especially polluted days. Particulate pollution consists of a wide range of substances present in the air as suspended particles of a wide range of sizes. There is some evidence that the smallest particles, known as ultrafine particles (or UFP), are the most toxic, possibly irrespective of their chemical composition. It is believed that road vehicle emissions are the major source of UFP (although this is yet to be verified in the UK), although many cooking activities can also generate high concentrations. However, not everyone is affected in the same way and this will partly be due to the way that the concentration of UFP in the air is not uniform across a city, but varies enormously - not only between districts, but between local neighbourhoods and even from one street to another. Thus, the dose of UFP to the lungs of any one individual can be considerably different to any other individual depending upon not only exactly where they live, but also where they work or study and how they travel. In order to judge whether or not inhalation of UFP is genuinely causing ill health amongst the population it is necessary to find a way of assessing how much UFP different citizens (and especially vulnerable sub-groups) are exposed to. It is not practical to place UFP monitors in every home and workplace across a city. On the other hand, placing a single monitor in a fixed location within a conurbation so that it represents the exposure of everyone within that conurbation (as is done for some gaseous pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide) is not appropriate for UFP due to the high degree of variability in concentrations across an urban area. A third method / dispersion modelling / is not a viable option for UFP at present as it requires very detailed information on emission sources that we do not yet have. These shortcomings in our knowledge are preventing us from correctly quantifying the threat UFP poses public health and from developing and assessing any strategies to reduce this threat. Recent developments in measurement technology now present an opportunity to overcome this impasse. This proposal combines the expertise of three teams within the University of Manchester linking atmospheric measurements with Geographical Information Science (GISc) and environmental health researchers. Together, we have devised a programme of research in which we start to look at spatial variability in outdoor concentrations on a small scale (between adjacent streets) in residential neighbourhoods of Manchester. Measurements are made and spatial patterns in concentrations are related to variability in sources (such as traffic density) and to patterns describing the exposed population within that neighbourhood (such as the daytime population density). From this analysis we can define zones (at the neighbourhood scale) within which concentrations vary little. The remainder of the project is focussed upon experimentally comparing concentrations between these zones and gradually building up a picture of how and most importantly, why UFP concentrations vary across a large segment of the city of Manchester. Once complete, the project will have provided a foundation for subsequent research by allowing researchers to quantify the exposure of urban citizens with much more confidence than at present, and to site more sophisticated monitoring instrumentation at a small number of fixed locations, or a single one, with a much clearer understanding of how measurements at this one location can relate to exposure of citizens across a wide urban area.

Country United Kingdom 
Sector Public 
PI Contribution We will be designing new chamber experiments and providing new UVLIF instruments to deliver new bioparticle training data sets to challenge machine learning and deep learning algorithms to identify airborne bioparticle types in real-time for health/advertant releases suitable for bio-PM health monitoring applications.
Collaborator Contribution Two publications have been published. The first paper presented improved methods for discriminating and quantifying airborne biological aerosol particles by applying hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis to multi-parameter ultraviolet-light-induced fluorescence (UV-LIF) spectrometer data. The methods employed in this study were evaluated for accuracy against prescribed reference particle populations, biological and non-biological. The HCA method was examined and potential for false positives identified and methods to reduce the potential for misattribution found in subsampling and comparative attribution methods used in previous approaches. This improved capacity to discriminate and quantify PBAP meta-classes.The performance of various hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis linkages and data normalisation methods using laboratory samples of known particle types and an ambient data set. We provided the algorithm development specific to various UVLIF aerosol spectrometers, collected the field data and conducted the laboratory experiments for this study. In a second study, much larger training bioparticle data sets from a new UVLIF particle spectrometer, provided by partner's Dstl, were evaluated using new Machine Learning Algorithms and compared with the previous hierarchical Agglomerative CLuster Approaches. In this study we provided the algorithm development, analysed the data sets and produced the publication. We also collected additional field data sets of ambient particles. This work builds on existing collaboration with Dstl originally started as part of the NERC BIOGENICE funded project. http://www.cas.manchester.ac.uk/resprojects/biogenice/
Impact A new PhD case studentship was provided with "Paratools-Daresbury" to sue supercomputing facilities to analyse and interpret large bioparticle data sets using deep learning machine algorithms. We have been provided with year long bioparticle data sets recorded in London to evaluate these algorithms. We have received a NERC-Dstl case studentship in collaboration with CEA France to conduct field experiments at European sites. We have received infrastructure support from NCAS via a new high resolution, field deployable UVLIF particle spectrometer which will be used by the case studentships to further evaluate applications for health monitoring and for delivering datasets for improving emissions parameterisations of bioparticles in regional scale and global models. We have received in-kind support from manufacturers of UVLIF instruments through shared data sets to evaluate new instrument performance and, as part of the Dstl proposed laboratory biochamber experiments, they are supplying new instruments and training for instrument intercomparison exercises.

MOZAIC observations (August 1994 - November 2014) are airborne in-situ measurements for ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and total nitrogen oxides (NOy). Measurements are geo-localized (latitude, longitude and pressure) and come with meteorological observations (wind direction and force, temperature). Data acquisition is automatically performed during round-trip international flights (ascent, descent and cruise phases) from Europe to America, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. IAGOS observations (July 2011 - today) include ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and cloud droplets (number and size). Depending of the optional instrumentation, additional measurements are either, nitrogen oxides (NOx), or total nitrogen oxides (NOy), or greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), or aerosols. Since July 2011, the first IAGOS-equipped aircraft flies the basic instrumentation, plus an optional instrumentation for NOx. Added-value products are the height of the dynamical tropopause at the aircraft position and backward trajectories of air masses sampled along the flight tracks. MOZAIC and IAGOS data policies are free access for scientific use (WMO resolution 40 for policy and practice for the exchange of meteorological and related data and products).

Impact IGOS Database hosted by ETHER (CNES-CNRS/INSU) http://www.iagos.fr/web/ These include IAGOS is a new European Research Infrastructure conducting longterm observations of atmospheric composition, aerosol and cloud particles on a global scale from commercial aircraft of internationally operating airlines. MOZAIC observations (August 1994 - November 2014) are airborne in-situ measurements for ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and total nitrogen oxides (NOy). Measurements are geo-localized (latitude, longitude and pressure) and come with meteorological observations (wind direction and force, temperature). Data acquisition is automatically performed during round-trip international flights (ascent, descent and cruise phases) from Europe to America, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. IAGOS observations (July 2011 - today) include ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and cloud droplets (number and size). Depending of the optional instrumentation, additional measurements are either, nitrogen oxides (NOx), or total nitrogen oxides (NOy), or greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), or aerosols. Since July 2011, the first IAGOS-equipped aircraft flies the basic instrumentation, plus an optional instrumentation for NOx. Added-value products are the height of the dynamical tropopause at the aircraft position and backward trajectories of air masses sampled along the flight tracks. MOZAIC and IAGOS data policies are free access for scientific use (WMO resolution 40 for policy and practice for the exchange of meteorological and related data and products). Users have to sign the IAGOS data protocol and to fill online a form for getting access. ETHER is a joint venture between CNES and CNRS/INSU to promote the use of in-situ and satellite observations for atmospheric chemistry. More detail here.

Impact IGOS Database hosted by ETHER (CNES-CNRS/INSU) http://www.iagos.fr/web/ These include IAGOS is a new European Research Infrastructure conducting longterm observations of atmospheric composition, aerosol and cloud particles on a global scale from commercial aircraft of internationally operating airlines. MOZAIC observations (August 1994 - November 2014) are airborne in-situ measurements for ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and total nitrogen oxides (NOy). Measurements are geo-localized (latitude, longitude and pressure) and come with meteorological observations (wind direction and force, temperature). Data acquisition is automatically performed during round-trip international flights (ascent, descent and cruise phases) from Europe to America, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. IAGOS observations (July 2011 - today) include ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and cloud droplets (number and size). Depending of the optional instrumentation, additional measurements are either, nitrogen oxides (NOx), or total nitrogen oxides (NOy), or greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), or aerosols. Since July 2011, the first IAGOS-equipped aircraft flies the basic instrumentation, plus an optional instrumentation for NOx. Added-value products are the height of the dynamical tropopause at the aircraft position and backward trajectories of air masses sampled along the flight tracks. MOZAIC and IAGOS data policies are free access for scientific use (WMO resolution 40 for policy and practice for the exchange of meteorological and related data and products). Users have to sign the IAGOS data protocol and to fill online a form for getting access. ETHER is a joint venture between CNES and CNRS/INSU to promote the use of in-situ and satellite observations for atmospheric chemistry. More detail here.

Impact IGOS Database hosted by ETHER (CNES-CNRS/INSU) http://www.iagos.fr/web/ These include IAGOS is a new European Research Infrastructure conducting longterm observations of atmospheric composition, aerosol and cloud particles on a global scale from commercial aircraft of internationally operating airlines. MOZAIC observations (August 1994 - November 2014) are airborne in-situ measurements for ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and total nitrogen oxides (NOy). Measurements are geo-localized (latitude, longitude and pressure) and come with meteorological observations (wind direction and force, temperature). Data acquisition is automatically performed during round-trip international flights (ascent, descent and cruise phases) from Europe to America, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. IAGOS observations (July 2011 - today) include ozone, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and cloud droplets (number and size). Depending of the optional instrumentation, additional measurements are either, nitrogen oxides (NOx), or total nitrogen oxides (NOy), or greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), or aerosols. Since July 2011, the first IAGOS-equipped aircraft flies the basic instrumentation, plus an optional instrumentation for NOx. Added-value products are the height of the dynamical tropopause at the aircraft position and backward trajectories of air masses sampled along the flight tracks. MOZAIC and IAGOS data policies are free access for scientific use (WMO resolution 40 for policy and practice for the exchange of meteorological and related data and products). Users have to sign the IAGOS data protocol and to fill online a form for getting access. ETHER is a joint venture between CNES and CNRS/INSU to promote the use of in-situ and satellite observations for atmospheric chemistry. More detail here.
