Dataset contains information on New York City air quality surveillance data. Air pollution is one of the most important environmental threats to urban populations and while all people are exposed, pollutant emissions, levels of exposure, and population vulnerability vary across neighborhoods. Exposures to common air pollutants have been linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and premature deaths. These indicators provide a perspective across time and NYC geographies to better characterize air quality and health in NYC. Data can also be explored online at the Environment and Health Data Portal: http://nyc.gov/health/environmentdata.
Annual emissions of various air pollutants in the United States have experienced dramatic reductions over the past half a century. As of 2023, emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) had reduced by more than 70 percent since 1970 to 6.8 million tons. Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions have also fallen dramatically in recent decades, dropping from 23 million tons to 1.6 million tons between 1990 and 2023. Air pollutants can pose serious health hazards to humans, with the number of air pollution related deaths in the U.S. averaging 60,000 a year.

Air Quality Monitoring Data Dublin City Council measures ambient air quality in Dublin in accordance with Air Quality standards. 'This dataset contains Air Quality Monitoring Data from January to March 2011, consisting five spreadsheets taken from five air monitoring sites around Dublin City that show hourly results for the pollutants Sulphur Dioxide( SO2) , Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Carbon Monoxide ( CO) and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 & PM10). The regulations are set by the Clean Air for Europe Directive 2008 (2008/50); from January 1st, 2010 the directive also requires PM2.5 monitoring. There is no real time data for PM10 or PM25'Black smoke monitoring is also carried out as a form of background monitoring using the benchmark of EU Directive 80/779/EEC as a guide however this has been scaled down since the 1990s following the introduction of the coal ban.'Multi-pollutant sites are:'Winetavern Street PM10, NO2, CO, SO2'Coleraine Street- PM2.5, NO2, CO, SO2'Ballyfermot PM10, NO2, SO2'PM10 only sites include:'Phoenix Park'Rathmines'PM2.5 only:'Marino'Black Smoke:'Ringsend'Crumlin'Finglas'Cabra''Annual report published http://www.dublincity.ie/WaterWasteEnvironment/AirQualityMonitoringandNoiseControl/AirPollution/Documents/Annual_report_2009.pdf
In 2024, Bangladesh's capital Dhaka had a pollution index score of 93.9, the highest among megacities in the Asia-Pacific region. In contrast, Japan's capital Tokyo had a pollution index score of 42.2 that year. Megacities on course for growth The United Nations defines megacities as cities with over ten million inhabitants. The population living in megacities has doubled in size in the last twenty years and is expected to rise even more until 2035. Today, the Asia-Pacific region is home to the highest number of megacities, with China and India alone accounting for around half of all megacities worldwide. At the same time, only half of the population in Asia is living in cities. This figure is also expected to rise exponentially over the next years, especially with much of the younger population migrating to larger cities. The growth of megacities and their higher population densities bring along several environmental problems. Exposure to pollution in India The most populated cities in APAC are located in Japan, China and India. As seen above, India's capital also falls among the top three most polluted megacities in the region and ranks second among the most polluted capital cities worldwide with an average PM2.5 concentration. As one of the fastest emerging economies in the world, India's rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to high pollution rates in different areas. The volume of emissions from coal-fired power plants has led to electricity and heat accounting for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in India. The country is also among the nations with the highest population share exposed to hazardous concentrations of air pollution worldwide.
Air pollution levels in cities vary greatly around the world, though they are typically higher in developing regions. In 2024, the cities of Jakarta and Cairo had an average PM2.5 concentrations of 41.7 and 39.9 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³) respectively. By comparison, PM2.5 levels in London and New York were less than eight μg/m³. Nevertheless, pollution levels in these four major cities are all higher than the World Health Organization's healthy limit, which are set at an annual average of less than five μg/m³. There are many sources of air pollution, such as energy production, transportation, and agricultural activities.

The National Air Pollution Surveillance (NAPS) program is the main source of ambient air quality data in Canada. The NAPS program, which began in 1969, is now comprised of nearly 260 stations in 150 rural and urban communities reporting to the Canada-Wide Air Quality Database (CWAQD). Managed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in collaboration with provincial, territorial, and regional government networks, the NAPS program forms an integral component of various diverse initiatives; including the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI), and the US-Canada Air Quality Agreement. Once per year, typically autumn, the Continuous data set for the previous year is reported on ECCC Data Mart. Beginning in March of 2020 the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on NAPS Operations has resulted in reduced data availability for some sites and parameters. For additional information on NAPS data products contact the NAPS inquiry centre at RNSPA-NAPSINFO@ec.gc.ca Last updated March 2023. Supplemental Information Monitoring Program Overview The NAPS program is comprised of both continuous and (time-) integrated measurements of key air pollutants. Continuous data are collected using gas and particulate monitors, with data reported every hour of the year, and are available as hourly concentrations or annual averages. Integrated samples, collected at select sites, are analyzed at the NAPS laboratory in Ottawa for additional pollutants, and are typically collected for a 24 hour period once every six days, on various sampling media such as filters, canisters, and cartridges. Continuous Monitoring Air pollutants monitored continuously include the following chemical species: • carbon monoxide (CO) • nitrogen dioxide (NO2) • nitric oxide (NO) • nitrogen oxides (NOX) • ozone (O3) • sulphur dioxide (SO2) • particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 (PM2.5) and 10 micrometres (PM10) Each provincial, territorial, and regional government monitoring network is responsible for collecting continuous data within their jurisdiction and ensuring that the data are quality-assured as specified in the Ambient Air Monitoring and Quality Assurance/Quality Control Guidelines. The hourly air pollutant concentrations are reported as hour-ending averages in local standard time with no adjustment for daylight savings time. These datasets are posted on an annual basis. Integrated Monitoring Categories of chemical species sampled on a time-integrated basis include: • fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM10-2.5) particulate composition (e.g., metals, ions), and additional detailed chemistry provided through a subset of sites by the NAPS PM2.5 speciation program; • semi-volatile organic compounds (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene); • volatile organic compounds (e. g., benzene) The 24-hour air pollutant samples are collected from midnight to midnight. These datasets are generally posted on a quarterly basis. Data Disclaimer NAPS data products are subject to change on an ongoing basis, and reflect the most up-to-date and accurate information available. New versions of files will replace older ones, while retaining the same location and filename. The ‘Data-Donnees’ directory contains continuous and integrated data sorted by sampling year and then measurement. Pollutants measured, sampling duration and sampling frequency may vary by site location.

Polluted air is a major health hazard in developing countries. Improvements in pollution monitoring and statistical techniques during the last several decades have steadily enhanced the ability to measure the health effects of air pollution. Current methods can detect significant increases in the incidence of cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases, coughing, bronchitis, and lung cancer, as well as premature deaths from these diseases resulting from elevated concentrations of ambient Particulate Matter (Holgate 1999).
Scarce public resources have limited the monitoring of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) concentrations in developing countries, despite their large potential health effects. As a result, policymakers in many developing countries remain uncertain about the exposure of their residents to PM air pollution. The Global Model of Ambient Particulates (GMAPS) is an attempt to bridge this information gap through an econometrically estimated model for predicting PM levels in world cities (Pandey et al. forthcoming).
The estimation model is based on the latest available monitored PM pollution data from the World Health Organization, supplemented by data from other reliable sources. The current model can be used to estimate PM levels in urban residential areas and non-residential pollution hotspots. The results of the model are used to project annual average ambient PM concentrations for residential and non-residential areas in 3,226 world cities with populations larger than 100,000, as well as national capitals.
The study finds wide, systematic variations in ambient PM concentrations, both across world cities and over time. PM concentrations have risen at a slower rate than total emissions. Overall emission levels have been rising, especially for poorer countries, at nearly 6 percent per year. PM concentrations have not increased by as much, due to improvements in technology and structural shifts in the world economy. Additionally, within-country variations in PM levels can diverge greatly (by a factor of 5 in some cases), because of the direct and indirect effects of geo-climatic factors.
The primary determinants of PM concentrations are the scale and composition of economic activity, population, the energy mix, the strength of local pollution regulation, and geographic and atmospheric conditions that affect pollutant dispersion in the atmosphere.

This database provides estimates for the amount of pollution (load) produced from a unit of production (in this case, indicated by employment) by specific industry sectors and by firms within particular size categories. The pollution intensities are for the following pollutants: particulates (PT); sulphur oxide (SOX); carbon monoxide (CO); nitrogen oxide (NOX); hydrocarbons (HC). This dataset has been produced by DECRG-IE of the World Bank in collaboration with Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Ecologia (INE), using a database they provided, the Sistema Nacional de Informacion de Fuentes Fijas. The units of measurement for employment intensities are tons per employee. The pollution intensities are at 2 and 3-digit ISIC (version 2) levels. Additional datasets were calculated for firms of various size (small, medium, large). Small firms are defined as having employment at twenty or less. Medium firms are defined as having employment between 21 and 100. Large firms have employment over 100. The sample size for intensities by firm size was: small firms 2,346, medium firms 2,143, large firms 1,310. Preliminary analysis of results revealed an outlier problem. Therefore, the top twenty-five polluters were deleted from the overall dataset, and the top ten polluters from each plant-size category were removed, before calculation of pollution intensities. This dataset was revised on 11/17/97. The 2 and 3 digit results were changed to make them consistent with the results for the size categories by removing the top 10 polluters from each category. Please make sure that you are using data marked 11/17/97.

The Air Pollutant Emission Inventory (APEI) is an annual report of air pollutant emissions across Canada published by Environment and Climate Change Canada. The report details the release of air pollutants from all known of sources since 1990. The APEI serves many purposes, including: - supporting the development of and tracking progress on air quality management strategies, policies and regulations - fulfilling Canada’s domestic and international reporting obligations - informing Canadians about air pollutants emissions - providing data to support Canada’s air quality health indices Emissions data is available for the following: Criteria air contaminants (CACs): - Total particulate matter (TPM) - Particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10) - Particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5) - Sulphur oxides (SOx) - Nitrogen oxides (NOx) - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - Carbon monoxide (CO) - Ammonia (NH3) Heavy metals: - Mercury (Hg) - Lead (Pb) - Cadmium (Cd) Persistent organic pollutants (POPs): - Dioxins and furans (D/F) - Four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) compounds (Benzo[a]pyrene, Benzo[b]fluoranthene, Benzo[k]fluoranthene and Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene) - Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) This data record breaks down the historical trends of reported pollutants by individual substances. To perform more customized selections of APEI data, please visit our website to use our interactive query tool. The Air Pollutant Emission Inventory is compiled from many different data sources. Emissions data reported by individual facilities to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s National Pollutant Release Inventory are supplemented with well documented, science-based estimation tools to quantify total emissions. Together these data sources provide a comprehensive overview of pollutant emissions across Canada.

This data was revised on March 13th 2025 to apply the latest, improved domestic combustion methodology across all sources. This correction has impacted domestic combustion emissions across the time series causing a substantial reduction to sulphur dioxide emissions and a minor increase to NMVOC emissions.
This publication provides estimates of UK emissions of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), nitrogen oxides, ammonia, non-methane volatile organic compounds and sulphur dioxide.
These estimates are used to monitor progress against the UK’s emission reduction targets for air pollutants. Emission reductions in the UK, alongside a number of other factors such as the weather, contribute to improvements in air quality in the UK and other countries. For more information on air quality data and information please refer to the "https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/air-quality-and-emissions-statistics" class="govuk-link">air quality and emissions statistics GOV.UK page.
The https://naei.beis.gov.uk/" class="govuk-link">National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory website contains information on anthropogenic UK emissions and compilation methods for a wide range of air pollutants; as well as hosting a number of reports including the Devolved Administrations’ Air Quality Pollutant Inventories.
The methodology to estimate emissions is continuously reviewed and developed to take account of new data sources, emission factors and modelling methods. This means the whole emissions time series from 1990 to the reporting year is revised annually.
Please note: Due to methodological updates and improvements which are routinely carried out each year, the data and trends discussed here are not directly comparable to those published in previous iterations of this Accredited Official Statistics release. More information can be found in the accompanying Methods Document. For year-on-year changes in emissions, the trends presented within this document and the accompanying statistical tables should be used.

Abstract:
Kampala, the political and economic capital of Uganda and one of the fastest urbanising cities in sub-Saharan Africa, is experiencing a deteriorating trend in air quality with emissions from multiple diffused local sources like transportation, domestic and outdoor cooking, and industries, and sources outside the city airshed like seasonal open fires in the region. PM2.5 (particulate matter under 2.5um size) is the key pollutant of concern in the city with monthly spatial heterogeneity of 60-100 ug/m3. Outdoor air pollution is distinctly pronounced in the global south cities and lack the necessary capacity and resources to develop integrated air quality management programmes including ambient monitoring, emissions and pollution analysis, source apportionment, and preparation of clean air action plans. This paper presents an integrated assessment of air quality in Kampala drawing from ground measurements (from a hybrid network of stations), satellite observations (from NASA’s MODIS and OMI), global reanalysis fields (from GEOS-chem and CAMS simulations), high resolution (~1km) multi-pollutant emissions inventory for the airshed, WRF-CAMx based PM2.5 pollution analysis, and a qualitative review of institutional and policy environment for air quality management in Kampala. The proposed clean air action plans aim for better air quality in the region using a combination of short-, medium-, and long-term emission control measures for all the dominate sources and institutionalize pollution tracking mechanisms (like emissions and pollution monitoring and reporting) for effective management of air pollution.
