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.
