High resolution annual average air pollution concentration maps for the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT: Long-term exposure to air pollution is considered a major public health concern and has been related to overall mortality and various diseases such as respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Due to the spatial variability of air pollution concentrations, assessment of individual exposure to air pollution requires spatial datasets at high resolution. Combining detailed air pollution maps with personal mobility and activity patterns allows for an improved exposure assessment. We present high-resolution datasets for the Netherlands providing average ambient air pollution concentration values for the year 2009 for NO₂, NO_x, PM_2.5, PM_{2.5absorbance} and PM_10. The raster datasets on 5×5 m grid cover the entire Netherlands and were calculated u
