Leeds air pollution

Daily maximum data (hourly for PM10) on air pollution for the Leeds Centre station in Yorkshire and Humberside station. The data goes from January 1st, 1993, until December 31st, 2024. Data show seasonality and there are some outliers. From December 2nd, 2008 onwards, particulate matters (PM10 and PM2.5) are measured using a tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) and Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS). The data for PM2.5 is missing before the change of instrumentation. A total of 231 daily measurements with only missing values were removed during preprocessing.
