This dataset was scraped from London data website.
The data shows roadside and background average readings for Nitric Oxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen, Ozone, Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and Sulphur Dioxide. Measured in Micrograms per Cubic Meter of Air (ug/m3). The spreadsheet shows which Index level each reading falls in, and contains charts showing pollutant levels by time of day per month.
Data
Dataset used for this scraping have been found on London Average Air Quality Levels.
Output data is located in data directory, it consists of two csv files:
monthly-averages.csvtime-of-day-per-month.csv
Preparation
You will need Python 3.6 or greater and dataflows library to run the script
To update the data run the process script locally:
# Install dataflows
pip install dataflows
# Run the script
python london-air-quality.py
