Claim: Derry/Londonderry is the only city of its prominence in the UK that does not have its own higher education institution, according to Lord Adonis. (Lord Adonis, 2019-07-12)
Evidence (2024-10-02): The name Derry comes from the Irish word doire, meaning "oak grove." "London" was appended as a prefix to the name in 1613 when King James I granted the city a royal charter. Nationalists generally use the local popular name Derry, as do many unionists, though the latter are more likely to use Londonderry in political discussion. The British government officially refers to the city as Londonderry City. In 1984 the nationalist-controlled Londonderry City Council renamed itself the Derry City Council. In 2007 a British High Court judge ruled that the city’s name could be changed to Derry only through legislation or by Royal prerogative. In 2015 the realigned Derry City and Strabane District Council approached the British government with a request to officially change the city’s name to Derry. Thousands of people signed petitions in favour of or opposing the name change. Ultimately, the government rejected the request for the name change.

Claim: Dungiven has some of the worst nitrogen dioxide (NO2) readings in Western Europe (Glenshane Com Dev Ltd, 2023-02-27)
Evidence (2023-02-27): UK air standards call for average annual NO2 readings to be under 40 micrograms per cubic metre
Claim: Dungiven has some of the worst nitrogen dioxide (NO2) readings in Western Europe (Glenshane Com Dev Ltd, 2023-02-27)
Evidence (2023-12-18): - UK air standards call for average annual NO2 readings to be under 40 micrograms per cubic metre - Dungiven breached this average several times in the 2010s - European Environment Agency reports indicate that around 10% of sites breach this limit – meaning Dungiven isn’t unique but still has some of the worst NO2 readings in Western Europe [...] However, the EEA does publish annual reports on European Air Quality. These do not typically include readings for individual sites but do contain useful information. Note that Dungiven’s annual average NO2 readings were 46 µg/m3 in 2017 and 51 µg/m3 in 2018. [...] Asking whether Dungiven is one of the worst places in Western Europe for nitrogen dioxide pollution obviously requires comparing its NO2 readings to other places in Europe.
Claim: Dungiven has some of the worst nitrogen dioxide (NO2) readings in Western Europe (Glenshane Com Dev Ltd, 2023-02-27)
Evidence (2021-06-09): Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a pollutant of concern in urban areas around the world. The main sources in urban environments are related to the burning of fuel and include transportation, electricity generation, and industrial and residential activities. From a public health perspective NO2 has also been widely associated with respiratory disease, including asthma exacerbation. NO2 also plays a key role in ground-level concentrations of ozone (O3), which is also a public health concern. This policy brief explores the relationships between transportation, climate change mitigation and ambient levels of air pollutants such as NO2. The Covid-19 pandemic has offered a glimpse of how rapid changes in transportation use can result in significant decreases in NO2 concentrations. Data from New York City supports this relationship. Transportation policies aimed at reducing traffic offer an opportunity to both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. The implementation of measures to rethink public space and the use of streets in response to Covid-19 also provides insights into an additional policy alternative to achieve these goals. [...] However, most climate change mitigation strategies call for shifting to renewable sources of energy which could also result in decreased NO2 concentrations. There are strong synergies between efforts to improve air quality and address climate change.

Evidence (2023-07-13): Source & ©: WHO Regional Office for Europe [...] As noted in the introduction, threshold points in dose-response relationships are not readily established, based on either experimental or observational data. For the acute effects of NO2, the evidence comes primarily from human exposure studies at concentrations in the range of several hundred µg/m3 and higher. In general, current exposures in Europe are below this range. Thus, human exposure studies carried out with relatively small numbers of health[y] volunteers do not provide any evidence for the existence of thresholds in a range relevant to current standard setting. [...] See also: General Issues and Recommendations on Air Pollutants:
Claim: Dungiven has some of the worst nitrogen dioxide (NO2) readings in Western Europe (Glenshane Com Dev Ltd, 2023-02-27)
Evidence (2020-01-23): NO2 has a clear local pattern and is mostly concentrated where it is emitted: in urban areas and by busy roads. NO2 values are particularly high in the areas around London, but all urban areas have high levels. [...] This is in contrast to cities like Dundee and Aberdeen, where around one in 33 deaths is related to PM2.5 exposure (around 3 per cent). This echoes the outcomes of the DAQI index: the five worst cities in Figure 10 all had more than 30 days a year when DAQI was 4 or above, while the Scottish cities with the lowest share are ranked at the bottom of the DAQI index. [...] This perhaps is not surprising given that local authorities are not legally obliged to meet the objectives set by their action plans.24 There is, then, little incentive to do anything about poor air quality within them.
Claim: Dungiven has some of the worst nitrogen dioxide (NO2) readings in Western Europe (Glenshane Com Dev Ltd, 2023-02-27)
Evidence (2024-01-01): Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a pollutant generated mainly through the burning of fuels in vehicles, power plants, and industrial facilities. [...] In contrast to PM2.5, some of the highest levels of NO2 pollution are seen in high-income countries. The highest exposures to NO2 are seen in North Africa and the Middle East (26.8 μg/m3), high-income countries (26.6 μg/m3), and in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (26.1 μg/m3). 42% of the world’s population being exposed to NO2 levels above the annual guideline value recommended by WHO. Seven of the ten countries with the highest NO2 exposures are in the Middle East including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates. Russia and Turkey also experience high NO2 levels. High-income countries are experiencing a rapid decline in NO2 exposures over time as a result of sustained policy action and technological advancements.

Evidence (2024-03-13): Large particulate pollution (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels went down the most with "significant improvements" in Europe’s air quality following their decline. [...] Particulate pollution (PM2.5 and PM10) levels were highest in northern Italy and eastern Europe. Northern Italy, along with some areas of western Europe, such as in the south of the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands, also had high levels of NO2. The most significant reductions in PM2.5 and PM10 levels were found in central Europe while for NO2 they were found in urban areas of western Europe.

Evidence (2018-10-29): In the last few years, governments and corporations around the world have come under increasing pressure to act on a global air pollution crisis. In Europe, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has been at the centre of the debate, following the dieselgate scandal and numerous legal battles faced by governments that have been shown to be in breach of legal limits. [...] NO2 also has a detrimental effect on biodiversity, inhibiting plant growth. In the UK, it’s been estimated that (pdf) 63% of the most sensitive wildlife habitats have been affected by excessive nitrogen deposits.

Evidence (2024-04-30): Air quality statistics in the UK, 1987 to 2023 - Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) [...] Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a gas that is mainly produced during the combustion of fossil fuels, along with nitric oxide (NO). NO2 can also be formed when NO reacts with certain gases in the atmosphere, such as ozone. These reactions take place very quickly and are reversible, so the two gases are referred to together as nitrogen oxides (NOx). [...] Urban background NO2 pollution has reduced both in the long-term and in recent years
Claim: Dungiven has some of the worst nitrogen dioxide (NO2) readings in Western Europe (Glenshane Com Dev Ltd, 2023-02-27)
Evidence (2017-11-27): Many European countries do not meet legal air quality standards for ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) near roads; a problem that has been forecasted to persist to 2030. Although European air quality standards regulate NO2 concentrations, emissions standards for new vehicles instead set limits for NOx—the combination of nitric oxide (NO) and NO2. From around 1990 onwards, the total emissions of NOx declined significantly in Europe, but roadside concentrations of NO2—a regulated species—declined much less than expected. This discrepancy has been attributed largely to the increasing usage of diesel vehicles in Europe and more directly emitted tailpipe NO2. Here we apply a data-filtering technique to 130 million hourly measurements of NOx, NO2 and ozone (O3) from roadside monitoring stations across 61 urban areas in Europe over the period 1990–2015 to estimate the continent-wide trends of directly emitted NO2. We find that the ratio of NO2 to NOx emissions increased from 1995 to around 2010 but has since stabilized at a level that is substantially lower than is assumed in some key emissions inventories. The proportion of NOx now being emitted directly from road transport as NO2 is up to a factor of two smaller than the estimates used in policy projections. We therefore conclude that there may be a faster attainment of roadside NO2 air quality standards across Europe than is currently expected. [...] Grice, S. et al.
