London Air: Air Quality & Diffusion Tubes MCP Connector for Claude

D

Keyless London air data: city-wide monthly averages for 14 pollutants (NO, NO2, NOx, O3, PM10, PM2.5, SO2 — roadside and background, 2008 to today), time-of-day profiles, and the 2024 diffusion-tube study across all 33 boroughs.

Three official London air-quality datasets — keyless, straight from the London open-data platform (data.london.gov.uk).

What you can do

  • air_quality_monthly / air_quality_by_hour / air_quality_overview — the city-wide series: 139 months × 14 indicators (NO, NO2, NOx, O3, PM10, PM2.5, SO2 in roadside and background, in µg/m³), with the time-of-day cut (month × hour, each with a 14-indicator block) and a per-indicator min/max/mean overview
  • diffusion_boroughs / diffusion_borough_lookup / diffusion_sites / diffusion_overview — the 2024 diffusion-tube study: per-borough site counts, the share of sites above the UK legal limit and the WHO guideline, the full site register for one borough (site ID, name, type, Easting/Northing, monthly means January to December) and the city-wide totals

Who is this for

Anyone tracking London's air against the legal limits or the WHO guideline, comparing boroughs, or pulling the raw monthly and hourly series. Diffusion tubes are low-cost passive samplers that integrate exposure over months — cheaper and steadier than the fixed monitoring stations behind the first three tools. Borough names in the lookup accept plain forms ("Camden", "City of London") and resolve the source file's odd stored spellings for you.

air_quality_by_hour

Filter by month (e.g. "Jan-08") and/or hour ("9" or "09:00"). Page with limit/offset. London air-pollutant means broken down by hour of day

air_quality_monthly

5, sulphur dioxide) in ug/m3, roadside and background networks, January 2008 to August 2019 (139 months). Use air_quality_by_hour for the 24-hour breakdown. Page with limit/offset. London-wide monthly mean air-pollutant concentrations, roadside and background

air_quality_overview

A compact way to see which pollutants trend highest/lowest. Per-pollutant min/max/mean across the London monthly air-quality series

diffusion_borough_lookup

borough is required and is matched case-insensitively, with or without the LB/RB prefix ("barnet", "LB Barnet" and "Barnet" all work; use "Waltham Forest" or "Kensington & Chelsea" for the misspelled sheets). Look up one London borough in the 2024 diffusion-tube summary

diffusion_boroughs

Sorted by tube count; pass top to keep only the first N (max 33). 2024 diffusion-tube air-monitoring summary per London borough

diffusion_overview

City-wide totals from the 2024 diffusion-tube summary

diffusion_sites

), OSGB easting/northing (x_m, y_m), month-by-month means (jan-dec, ug/m3) and the raw vs bias-adjusted annual means. borough is required. Page with limit/offset. The 2024 diffusion-tube monitoring sites of one London borough

What is the average roadside NO2 in London for the last 12 months?

Call air_quality_monthly with limit 12 and offset pointing at the end of the series (or just read the last 12 rows of the 139-month series), then average the no2_roadside column; air_quality_overview gives the all-series mean for context.

Which borough has the highest share of diffusion-tube sites above the WHO guideline?

Run diffusion_boroughs with a large top — each row carries sites_exceeding_who and its share of the borough's sites; the first row is the borough with the highest WHO exceedance share.

List the diffusion-tube sites in Camden.

Call diffusion_sites with borough 'Camden' — one row per site with its ID, name, sensor type, Easting/Northing and the twelve monthly means; page with limit/offset for longer registers.

No. data.london.gov.uk publishes every dataset as an anonymous file download (CSV or Excel). This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.
