Aggregate data about the emission of air pollutants especially those potentially harmful to human health (although it is not a requirement to include information on greenhouse gas emissions). Aggregate means national-level or available for at least three major cities. In order to satisfy the minimum requirements for this category, data must be available for the following pollutants and meet the following minimum criteria:

  • Particulate matter (PM) Levels
  • Sulphur oxides (SOx)
  • Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)
  • Updated on at least once a week.
  • Measured either at a national level by regions or at leasts in 3 big cities.

Comments

The federal government makes only data on Ozone measurements available through an open data format (JSON), released by the Federal Environmental Agency, https://www.umweltbundesamt.at/umweltsituation/umweltinfo/opendata/oed_luft/. Specific data on air pollutants such as carbon monoxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter is available on a timely basis here: https://www.umweltbundesamt.at/umweltsituation/luft/luftguete_aktuell/tgl_bericht/ These daily measurements are currently not provided for downloaded and data is only made available for the current date. There is a contact provided and no implication that the Umweltbundesamt charges for the dataset.
