Monitoring interpretation discipline

This Air Quality Project keeps emissions, ambient concentrations, exposure and health outcomes separate. A monitor near a site is useful only after distance, bearing, monitor type, pollutant coverage, time alignment, meteorology and comparator context are understood.

How to read this page

Scientific evidence and software assurance are different

Scientific evidence

Measurements, station and regional coverage, descriptive calculations, source records and stated limitations are the evidence available for review.

Engineering assurance

Automated checks confirm that the pipeline followed its declared rules. They do not constitute peer review, accreditation, regulatory approval or institutional endorsement.
