SCC Air Quality Scientific Intelligence Tool
This tool fuses public-safe Drive evidence, Environment Agency register matches, Planning Data context, UK-AIR/LAQN context, WAQI/OpenWeather checks, NAEI resource indexing and readiness gates into a ranked scientific review queue. It is a triage and challenge tool, not a medical, legal or source-attribution engine.

Pollutant and pathway watchlist
PM2.5
Fine particulate matter is a core public-health metric and can reflect combustion, secondary aerosol and regional background contributions.
SCC Air Quality use: monitoring trend, episode and exposure-context screening only
PM10
Coarse and fine particle mixture relevant to dust, combustion, construction, road and industrial sources.
SCC Air Quality use: local episode and monitor-completeness screening
NO2 / NOx
Combustion and traffic-sensitive pollutant group, often highly affected by roads and urban geometry.
SCC Air Quality use: candidate combustion/traffic context and monitor-role check
SO2, HCl, HF and acid gases
Relevant to industrial combustion and waste-incineration permit conditions.
SCC Air Quality use: permit-limit, stack-test and compliance-record review
Metals including Hg, Cd, Pb, As, Cr, Ni
Persistent toxic pollutants can be relevant to waste-stream and residue questions.
SCC Air Quality use: periodic sample, permit, ash/residue and official-report evidence review
Dioxins, furans, PCBs, PAHs and PFAS-relevant waste streams
Persistent organic pollutants and emerging contaminant pathways are central to long-term toxicology questions.
SCC Air Quality use: watchlist and evidence-gap flag only until specialist records exist
CO2 and fossil carbon from waste
Climate and circular-economy lock-in question, especially plastic-rich residual waste.
SCC Air Quality use: facility, sector and national inventory context
Public data
The full public-safe machine-readable output is available at /assets/data/air-quality-intelligence.json.
Scientific evidence and software assurance are different
Scientific evidence
Measurements, station and regional coverage, descriptive calculations, source records and stated limitations are the evidence available for review.
Engineering assurance
Automated checks confirm that the pipeline followed its declared rules. They do not constitute peer review, accreditation, regulatory approval or institutional endorsement.
