Abstract

Observation, Modelling And Management Of Urban Air Pollution (PUMA COnsortium - PUMACO) was a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Urban Regeneration and the Environment (URGENT) Air project (GST/02/1981 - Duration: 1/01/1998 - 30/09/2001) led by Prof. Roy M. Harrison, University of Birmingham.

This dataset contains measurements of nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, ozone, halo-carbons, PAN and PM 2.5, temperature, wind, pressure and humidity.
