Abstract
We present allometric-scaling relationships between non-point-source emissions of air pollutants and settlement population, using 3030 urban settlements in Great Britain (home to ca. 80% of the population of that region). Sub-linear scalings (slope < 1.0; standard error on slope ∼0.01; r 2 > 0.6) were found for the oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) and microscopic airborne particles (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ). That is, emissions of these pollutants from...
