Background air quality observations
The data includes real-time station-specific air quality observations maintained by the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Concentrations of air pollutants are measured using continuous automatic measuring devices. The data consists of hourly averages that are updated once an hour. There are five pollutant compounds in total (SO2, NO2,O3, PM10, PM2.5), but the range of compounds to be measured varies by measuring station.
