Glasgow has the highest concentrations of NOX and small particulates, but the effects are not evenly distributed.
More details
- People from ethnic minority backgrounds are significantly more likely to live in areas with the highest rates of NOX and PM2.5 concentrations.
- Students from ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to attend schools in areas with higher pollutant concentrations than white Scottish or British students.
- Given changes in Glasgow’s ethnic demography, which has grown from 11.3% to 19.6% of the council’s population over the last ten years, this is an important area to monitor further.
- There is not a clear relationship between neighbourhood income deprivation and air pollution, although the 10% least deprived neighbourhoods have significantly higher concentrations of NOX.
