ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE DATA
The CIHR-funded Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE)collates and generates standardized area-level environmental data on air and noise pollution, land use, green/natural spaces, climate change/extreme weather, and socioeconomic conditions and links this data to existing Canadian cohort studies and administrative health databases. CANUE exposure datasets have been merged with the national harmonized CanPath dataset (Baseline Health and Risk Factor Questionnaire (HRFQ, First Follow-up HRFQ, Questionnaire 2020 COVID-19 and COVID-19 Antibody Baseline Questionnaire) using participants’ 6-digit residential postal codes and are now available to researchers.
These datasets include:
* Active Living Environments Indices, 2006 and 2016
* Material and Social Deprivation Index, 2011
* Annual Nighttime Light, 2008 to 2013
* Annual Weather, 2008 to 2015
* Annual Nitrogen Dioxide, 2008 to 2012
* Annual Ozone, 2008 to 2015
* Annual Fine Particulates, 2008 to 2012
* Annual Sulfur Dioxide, 2008 to 2015
* Annual Landsat NDVI (greenness), 2008 to 2015
Access to employment, 2016
* Canadian Marginalization Index 2001, 2006, 2016
* New version of annual fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5), 2000 to 2016
* Annual water balance metrics (e.g. total precipitation as rain or snow, number of days with precipitation, relative index of wetness/dryness), 2000 to 2015
* Local climate zones (i.e., indicators of urban form influencing local climate variations using satellite-derived data on land use), 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016
* Proximity to water (i.e., “blue” index), 2000 to 2019
* Proximity to roads by road type, 2000 to 2018
* Gentrification, urban interventions, and equity, 2016
* Green roads, 2016
* Urban sprawl, 2011, 2016
* Facility index, 2019
* Noise, 2000 to 2019
* Canadian bikeway comfort and safety classification system (can-bics) metrics, 2021
* Fine particulate matter (pm2.5 v3), 2000 to 2018
* Smoke exposure (pm2.5), 2010 to 2019
* Air pollution index, 2012 to 2014
* Land surface temperature, 2015 to 2021
* Tree canopy coverage, 2010, 2015
* Proximity measures - StatsCan , 2019
Note: 6-digit postal codes are not included in the dataset and are not available to researchers.
