Overview

An R package to facilitate the calculation of air quality metrics according to the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS)

Features

Installation

The package is not available on CRAN, but can be installed using the devtools package:

install.packages("devtools") # if not already installed

library(devtools)
install_github("bcgov/rcaaqs")

Usage

This is a simple example using the included sample data set for PM<sub>2.5</sub>.

library(rcaaqs)
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)

You can view the CAAQS Achievement Levels as well as Management Levels in the included data frames. These are used internally in pm_annual_caaq() and pm_24hr_caaq() to assign metric values at each station to the appropriate CAAQS Achievement Level and Management Level:
