Diffusion Tube Data Processing Tool

This diffusion tube data processing tool has been developed to assist local authorities in processing their NO2 diffusion tube monitoring data. It allows annual mean NO2 concentration results to be calculated from NO2 diffusion tube raw monthly data including bias factor adjustment, annualisation and distance correction calculations.

Automatic Data Processing Tool

This automatic monitoring data processing tool has been developed to assist local authorities in processing their NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 automatic monitoring data. It allows annual mean NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 concentration results to be calculated from NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 hourly automatic data including annualisation calculations and the identification of potentially anomalous results.
