Burkard traps continuously sampled air for 7 days from the University of Hull (UK.) (53° 46’ 16.87” N; 0° 22’ 2.64” W) at 10:00 on 10/03/2023 and 11:00 on 18/07/2023 respectively, and Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha (SA). 34° 0'4.66"S; 25°40'2.40"E starting at 13:00 on 03/08/2023. Traps were on flat roofs with the sampling orifice at least 1 m above the surface and at least 2 m away from the building edge. Tape adhesive was glycine jelly and an oxidative digest using 30% hydrogen peroxide was performed to remove organic mater. This dataset contains screenshot images of airborne particles during downstream analysis with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, used to identify materials.
