Description
Bucaramanga, Colombia's air quality data is collected by the Regional Autonomous Corporation for the Defense of the Bucaramanga Plateau (CDMB) from a monitoring station at the Jorge Eliécer Gaitán school. The dataset contains real-time measurements of pollutants including PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, O3, and CO, along with meteorological variables like temperature, wind speed, and humidity. It is collected in compliance with Resolution 2254 of 2017 from Colombia's Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development.
Use Cases
Forecasting PM2.5 levels using historical PM2.5, wind speed, and humidity data from 17 available columns.
Analyzing correlations between pollutant concentrations (e.g., O3, NOX) and solar radiation or temperature from 17 available columns.
Modeling the impact of meteorological conditions on particulate matter (PM10) dispersion using wind direction, speed, and precipitation from 17 available columns.
Strengths
Measures 8 key air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, O3, CO, NO, NOX) as per regulatory standards.
Includes 9 complementary meteorological variables (e.g., Temperature, Wind Speed, Humidity, Solar Radiation) for contextual analysis.
Data is collected in real-time from a fixed monitoring station, providing a continuous temporal stream.
Limitations
Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality, completeness, and potential gaps require manual inspection after download.
