The Ruisdael Rotterdam campaign in August - September, 2021 featured a comprehensive suite of air pollutant, greenhouse gas, and meteorological data collection across the city and port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. We will present data from the Utrecht University Air Quality car mobile platform, which was deployed for >80 hours of sampling across the region, measuring particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10), ultrafine particulate matter count (UFP), black carbon (BC), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). We analyze this data with particular focus on the relative contribution of urban and port emissions to air pollution levels across the city, and on the role of neighborhood design in determining street-level concentrations of pollutants.
