Supporting Data for "Local exposure misclassification in national models: relationships with urban infrastructure and demographics"

Overview: This dataset accompanies the recent publication "Local exposure misclassification in national models: relationships with urban infrastructure and demographics" (DOI: 10.1038/s41370-023-00624-z). It provides essential data for replicating and extending the analysis conducted in the study. The script for the analysis is available at https://github.com/SEChambliss-AQ/LD-analysis. The dataset consists of four key files.

Files Included:

1. Gridded OSM and GSV Data (gridded_OSM_GSV.RDS):

   • This R object offers a 100mx100m grid covering select neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area.
   • Each grid cell includes average air pollution levels (Ultrafine Particle Count in thousand count per cubic meter; Nitrogen Dioxide in ppb) from mobile monitoring.
   • The file also provides normalized z-scores of local density of urban infrastructure related to air pollutants based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) data.
   • Further details can be found in the associated publication.

2. BartMachine Outputs (bartMachine R objects.zip):

   • A collection of R object outputs from the bartMachine package, an R-Java Bayesian Additive Regression Trees implementation.
   • These objects, which can be regenerated using the provided script, are included to reduce computational requirements for future analyses.
   • The script for generating these outputs is available at the above GitHub Repository.

3. NO2 Predictions (CACES_criteria.csv):

   • Land Use Regression (LUR) data for Nitrogen Dioxide, provided by the Center for Air, Climate, and Energy Solutions.
   • Methodologies for integrating these data with the gridded dataset are described in the publication and script.

4. UFP Predictions (CACES_UFP.csv):

   • Similar to the NO2 dataset, this file contains LUR data for Ultrafine Particle predictions.
   • Methods for data integration are detailed in the publication and available script.

Usage: These files are intended for researchers and analysts aiming to replicate or build upon the study's findings. They provide a source of data for exploring the complex interplay between air pollution, urban infrastructure, and demographic factors in urban environments.
