Abstract
A methodology is presented and validated through which long-term fixed site air quality
measurements are used to characterise and remove temporal signals in sample-based
measurements which have good spatial coverage but poor temporal resolution. The work has been
carried out specifically to provide a spatial dataset of atmospheric ultrafine particle (UFP < 100 nm)
data for ongoing epidemiologic cohort analysis but the method is readily transferable to wider
epidemiologic investigations and research into the health effects of other pollutant species.
