Abstract This dataset encapsulates PM2.5 measurements collected across National Air Pollution Monitoring Stations during the period from 2000 to 2015. It constitutes a critical resource for examining fine particulate matter trends over a significant time span. However, it is essential to acknowledge the presence of caveats due to varying measurement methods and potential site changes during the data collection period.

Abstract A web API to access the CARDAT NAPMD (National Air Pollution Monitor Database). NAPMD Is the quality checked and corrected historical hourly air quality data (including PM2.5, NO2, ozone, etc) from government monitor stations across Australia. The API has a number of useful functions eg. querying the database for various pollutants by site or for all sites across a whole state. For examples on how to use this API, please visit the following GitHub Repo: https://github.com/cardat/napmdtools.

Abstract

Daily, monthly and yearly averages of PM2.5 and PM10 by station across Australia.

This includes hourly monitor data from regulatory TEOM and BAM monitors (with a threshold of at least 70% of values (including imputed values) in a 24 hour period using 00:00 - 23:00 hour starting averages, e.g. 02:00 represents the hourly average for 2-3 am), as well as daily values from DustTrak, Harvard Impactors, and Partisol air samples. Where there are co-located monitors and there are multiple daily averages available, priority is given to the TEOM and BAM stations rather than the field monitors.

Imputation of missing hourly values is done where there is no more than one consecutive hour of missing data. Additionally, improbably large negative values (< -20 ug_m3) are capped at -20. This represents about 0.0072% of hourly values.
