Pollution-Associated Risk Geospatial Analysis Site (PARGASITE)


PARGASITE

The pargasite package offers tools to estimate and visualize levels of major pollutant levels (CO, NO2, SO2, Ozone, PM2.5 and PM10) across the conterminous United States for user-defined time ranges. It provides functions to retrieve pollutant data from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Air Quality System (AQS) API service for interactive visualization through a Shiny application, allowing users to explore pollutant levels for a given location over time relative to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQA).

We have no affiliation with the EPA.
