http://www.UKAirQuality.net (see more example images
below) Our real-time and historic data website
is specifically designed for air quality. Private access allows you to track
the progress of your monitoring network while optional public web pages
provide the means to disseminate your results. Our growing network started 1st
April 2011 and includes operational, closed and nearby multi-pollutant AURN
monitoring sites. There are simple low-cost ways to add monitoring
sites to this UK website and similar air quality websites dedicated to your
monitoring network. We can also provide full data management of the whole
data system from collection, engineer call-outs to the final expert data
ratification. You can either send us the data or we can collect directly from
the sites communicating with the full range of instruments deployed
throughout the UK. |

Two of the best-known names in UK air
quality have combined their expertise to offer the full range of air quality
data management. Geoff Broughton of Air Quality Data Management (AQDM) and
Yitzhak Mendelovitch of Envitech Europe have built and operated many complex
multi-site air quality networks in the UK and abroad. Our air quality website
package includes the following.
|
|
The opening page is a map showing the status of the
monitoring network. Sites are colour coded based on the current measurements.
The free UK
Defra air quality forecast is shown as a rolling headline under the
title banner. Clicking on a site spot shows the current measurements and
allows further reporting options. Navigation around the website is via the
menu on the left-hand margin.
|
|
You can zoom into the map to highlight areas of
interest. Similarly, the map can begin focused onto a region for websites
that are dedicated to your monitoring network. The map below shows the
monitoring network in and around Belfast in Northern Ireland.
|
|
The website uses a wide range of maps and
geographic images from Bing that includes Bird's Eye views. The image below
shows a monitoring station in Belfast. You do need to obtain good longitude
and latitude or grid references for your monitoring site to view images at
this resolution.
|
|
The Dynamic Table is the summary of the current
measurements across the monitoring network. This provides an invaluable
snapshot of the network. You can click on the site names to obtain further
information and plots.
|
|
Current readings and
a photo are available for each monitoring site. Options allow you to view
further information about the site and create various reports.
|
|
There is a huge range of plotting and reporting
options. These start with simple timeseries plots and download options
leading to more complex analyses.
|
|
The analysis and reporting tools should meet most
of your needs. However, data can be quickly extracted and downloaded from the
historic archive for further processing within your own system.
|
|
Wind and pollution roses are simple to generate for
monitoring sites that have meteorological sensors.
|
|
Any type of automatic instrument can be polled and
stored within the database. Here is an example showing data from an Osiris
particulate instrument. Concentrations are plotted for PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and
TSP (Total Suspended Particles).
|
|
Many Local Authorities have extreme difficulty
publishing up-to-date reports and data on their own corporate website. Our
air quality websites contain a library system allowing public access to these
files. The example below from the Herts & Beds air quality website shows
the set of NO2 diffusion tube spreadsheets from the Local Authorities within
these two counties.
|
|
The website is designed for all users from casual
glances at the opening map to the detailed plotting tools. Links to websites
and reports are very easy to create and saves a lot of duplicated effort.
General air quality background information and the Kid's Corner are provided
by simple links to other websites. The links to the International Envitech
Websites shows what the website can provide from the Chilean mining network, New Jersey State Network to
the enormous Turkish
National Network.

The EnvistaWEB
air quality website allows quick public and private access to real-time and
historic information through an attractive user interface. We are always open
to suggestions for improvement. |
