Abstract
PM₂.₅ sources were identified at the Birmingham Air Quality Supersite (BAQS) and Ladywood during 2021–2022 as part of the WM-Air (West Midlands Air Quality Improvement Programme). The dominant sources were biomass burning, traffic emissions, resuspended dust, and secondary aerosols. The dataset includes time series of the identified source contributions at both sites.
