UKEAP Ammonia Measurements: Monthly Air Concentrations at Four UK Rural Sites, 2022

UK rural sites provide monthly ammonia air concentration data for 2022, collected using ALPHA® passive samplers. The Environmental Information Data Centre published this dataset to support research on atmospheric pollutants. Measurements were taken at four sites within the UK Eutrophying and Acidifying Pollutants (UKEAP) network.

Use Cases

• Modeling monthly ammonia concentration trends based on the 2022 time series
• Calibrating passive sampler uptake rates based on the ALPHA® methodology described
• Analyzing spatial variation in air pollutants based on data from four distinct UK rural sites
• Assessing compliance with environmental air quality standards for ammonia

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year from January to December 2022
• Measurements are from four distinct rural monitoring sites
• Uses a standardized ALPHA® passive sampler methodology

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the four UKEAP network sites
