Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Absolutely - it's outdoor PM2.5. I don't think there is data with decent coverage of indoor PM2.5 (I'd love to be wrong) but you're right: individual behavior inside the home (incl. cooking!) can lead to massive spikes. 000

Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Thanks a lot John, and thanks for the clarification! I was referring to your AER that goes up to 2016, things do look pretty different since you're right. We were even more puzzled by the trend since Covid when we saw how different things looked in the US... 000
Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024I'm thrilled that my first bluesky post is on work with the wonderful @leroutierm.bsky.social , Rodrigo Toneto and Bobbie Upton. We're developing a research agenda on air pollution at the IFS & Queen Mary, stay tuned for more. And I guess I've now officially left the other place! (7/7) 160

(6/7)ifs.org.ukAir pollution in England by MSOA over time, measured by PM2.5 exposure, 2003 to 2023 | Institute for Fiscal StudiesAverage exposure to PM2.5 in England fell by 54% between 2003 and 2023. Almost everywhere in England is now below England’s 2040 target for PM2.5. 191
Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Are BAME populations exposed to more PM2.5 because they are poorer? We can't really answer this question , but we show that all ethnic groups face higher air pollution than whites - we don't see the differences across ethnic groups that we typically see for economic outcomes. (5/7) 210
Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Up until 2019 this was mostly because BAME population moved out of high-polluted areas relative to whites... Since then areas with large BAME pop (aka London and Midlands) have experienced large decreases in PM 2.5. (4/7) 120
Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Who's exposed to the most PM2.5? Poorer areas and those with more ethnic minorities. The ethnic pollution gap (difference in PM2.5 between whites and BAME) has fallen by more than half since 2003 - levels and changes are similar to what @johnvoorheis.bsky.social et al found in the US. (3/7) 230
Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Also good news: England's 2040 target for PM2.5 is now met for nearly everyone. Less good news: most of us are still exposed to PM2.5 levels above WHO guidelines - more works needs to be done to get there. (2/7) 130
Lucie Gadenne @lgadenne.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Our IFS report on air pollution is out! Good news first: air pollution (PM2.5) has HALVED in England since 2003, with a big drop during Covid.
