Purpose:
To provide a framework of public-health-focused air quality indicators that quantifies country trends in exposure to major air pollutants.
Abstract:
The Country Trends in Major Air Pollutants data set is a framework of public-health-focused air quality indicators that quantifies over 200 countries' trends in exposure to Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Pollutant concentration data are derived from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Atmospheric Composition Reanalysis 4 (EAC4) data sets, freely available from the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Services' Atmospheric Data Store (https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu). CIESIN's Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4): Population Count Adjusted to Match 2015 Revision of UN WPP Country Totals, Revision 11 was used in the population weighting algorithm.

* When authors make use of data they should cite both the data set and the scientific publication, if available. Such a practice gives credit to data set producers and advances principles of transparency and reproducibility. Please visit the data citations page for details. Users who would like to choose to format the citation(s) for this dataset using a myriad of alternate styles can copy the DOI number and paste it into Crosscite's website.

† For EndNote users, please check the Research Note field for issues with importing authors that are organizations when using the ENW file format.
