Ammonia Measurements at a Rural Dwelling in South Lanarkshire, 2021

The Environmental Information Data Centre provides ammonia (NH3) measurements taken indoors and outdoors at a rural dwelling in South Lanarkshire. Data was collected from January 2021 to December 2021 using UKCEH ALPHA® passive samplers exposed in monthly cycles. The garden site backs onto grassland which is part of a large dairy farm.

Use Cases

• Compare indoor versus outdoor ammonia concentrations based on the paired sampling sites.
• Analyze seasonal trends in ammonia levels based on the monthly sampling cycles from 2021.
• Model local ammonia dispersion from a dairy farm based on measurements from a nearby rural dwelling.
• Assess baseline air quality for a residential area adjacent to agricultural land.

Strengths

• Full year of continuous data covering all months from January to December 2021.
• Paired indoor and outdoor sampling sites allow for direct comparison.
• Uses standardized UKCEH ALPHA® passive samplers for measurement consistency.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single location, which may limit generalizability.
