PM10 on New Years
This short repo holds data and visualization for showing the PM10 ("Feinstaub") around New Year.
Data Source
Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Umwelt und Landwirtschaft
These plots use PM10_THEOM (automatically determined).
Note that actual legal limits are based on PM10_HVS, which is determined in a lab, but is only available after some delay.
Build
You need R and ggplot2.
With pm10.csv visible in your pwd run:
R --vanilla < ./plot.R
FAQ
- Why not PM2.5?
- Because the data is not available hourly.
- What conclusions can be drawn from the data?
- They do not cross the legal limits. For anything else ask somebody more knowledgeable.
- What is the legal limit?
- see here, table on the right TL;DR 40 μg/m3 yearly mean
