Air Quality Data for Oxford City
Dear Oxford City Council,
Please provide me with recent air quality data you hold for Oxford. By " recent”, I mean data collected between 1 December 2020 and the date at which this FOI is processed. I am happy to accept unverified / unapproved data. Please provide me with as granular data as possible, i.e. daily, weekly, monthly etc. I want to see how pollution levels have changed, both in terms of time of year but also as a result of lockdown-related changes to pollution levels.
By “Oxford", I mean all pollution monitoring stations around within the Oxford City Council’s administrative boundaries. If in doubt regarding borderline monitoring stations, please include the monitoring station’s data – or all available data, if that is easiest.
Please include the "site ID / diffusion tube" number for all records returned. My preferred way to receive this data is Excel.
Yours faithfully,
John Skinner
