Fine Particulate Matter CAAQS Analysis for B.C.

A set of R scripts to calculate the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) in British Columbia. These scripts reproduce the analysis and data visualizations presented on Environmental Reporting BC.

This analysis makes use of the rcaaqs package, and air quality monitoring data from the B.C. Ministry of Environment.

Usage

There are five scripts that are required for the analysis, they need to be run in order:

• 01_load.R - downloads the data from DataBC
• 02_clean.R - cleans and prepares data for analysis
• 03_analysis.R - performs the analysis
• 04_output.R - creates maps and graphs and saves outputs
• 05_databc_output.R - creates output files for Data BC catalogue

The run_all.R script can be sourceed to run it all at once.
