Ratified 2008 TEOM Data Corrected Using the Volatile Correction Model (VCM)
The Scottish Government has funded AEA to provide VCM corrected TEOM (Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance) data to Local Authorities under the Scottish Air Quality Archive Website project. A short summary outlining the method used for correcting the Scottish Air Quality Database TEOM data for 2008 is provided here.
The method provides results which are consistent with the Scottish Government Technical Guidance for Local Air Quality Management, and has used the VCM portal at http://www.volatile-correction-model.info.
The results are available as daily data in the form of spreadsheets below for each of the Scottish monitoring stations. The same data were emailed to all local authorities in May 2009, and to ensure consistency these are the data which should continue to be used for Review and Assessment Purposes.
