Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

Data about the daily mean concentration of air pollutants, especially those potentially harmful to human health. Data should be available for all air monitoring stations or air monitoring zones in a country. The Index focusses on key pollutants as defined by the World Health Organisation. See our methodology section for more information.

Particulate matter (PM)
Sulphur oxides (SOx)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Ozone
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Available per air monitoring station/zone

How open is the data?

It's downloadable at once
It's not up-to-date
It's publicly available
It's available free of charge

Reviewer comments

Rejected, as the data available is not available on monitoring stations or hourly rate; But rather, an aggregated measurement. It was found that the government does collect this data, but no source of open data found.
