Monthly Ammonia Measurements at a Rural Dwelling in South Lanarkshire, 2022

Monthly ammonia (NH3) measurements from January to December 2022 at a rural dwelling in South Lanarkshire. Data was collected using UKCEH ALPHA® passive samplers at one indoor and one outdoor site adjacent to a dairy farm. The dataset is provided by the Environmental Information Data Centre.

Use Cases

• Modeling indoor-outdoor ammonia transfer based on paired sampler locations.
• Analyzing seasonal ammonia concentration trends based on monthly exposure cycles.
• Assessing the impact of nearby dairy farming on local air quality based on the described site adjacency.

Strengths

• Full year of continuous monthly measurements from January 2022 to December 2022.
• Paired sampling at distinct indoor and outdoor sites allows for comparative analysis.
• Data collection uses a specific, documented method (UKCEH ALPHA® samplers).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single rural dwelling, which may limit generalizability.
