Source data for this map was provided by King’s College London

Tools: The data was downloaded as a raster file and brought into QGIS to style using a modified magma colour ramp. These were then brought into Adobe Illustrator for labelling etc. Analysis on the map was done in QGIS to provide the hotpsot values

So what's nitrogen dioxide and why is it harmful?

Wow that's... not good. I don't tend to think about it on an average day, it's just something you know that's happening around you but there's not much you can do about it. But to see it mapped out like that with virtually every single road 60µg/m3 or higher is just depressing. Makes me angry too...

Even the road going through Hyde Park is polluted.
