Personal Clean Air Planner
PCAP
Estimates personal PM2.5 and NO2 exposure based on where you live, work, and travel — then shows what would make the biggest difference.
Know the air you breathe
PCAP estimates personal pollution exposure for any UK postcode. Councils deploy it under their own brand to help residents understand their air quality and take action.
PCAP builds a picture of your day — where you spend time, how you get around, what’s in your home — and estimates how much PM2.5 and NO2 you’re actually breathing. It combines high-resolution pollution data with indoor environment models and real commute routing.
The tool is designed for two audiences: residents who want to understand their own exposure, and councils who want to give their communities access to personalised air quality information. Council deployments run under the authority’s own brand, with custom advice and local policy context.
