Description
Summary:Studies increasingly examine individual exposure to air pollution while accounting for person-specific activity-travel patterns. Supporting policymakers and local communities using the resulting data requires transparent and ethical communication of exposure levels to affected individuals and other stakeholders. This paper asks how an interactive online dashboard might represent individual-level air pollution exposure profiles to different audiences while respecting individuals' geoprivacy. Using data from 37 Oxford (UK) residents, it shows that heterogeneous individual-level exposure profiles can be shared ethically through different combinations of visualisation method, spatial and temporal resolution of data representation and Geomasking techniques for different dashboard user groups.
