A set of R scripts to calculate the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) for 2014-2016. These scripts reproduce the 2017 analysis presented on Environmental Reporting BC.

This analysis makes use of the rcaaqs package, and air quality monitoring data from the B.C. Ministry of Enviornment.

There are four core scripts that are required for the analysis, they need to be run in order:

• 01_load.R - downloads the data from DataBC
• 02_clean.R - cleans and prepares data for analysis
• 03_analysis.R - performs the analysis
• 04_output.R - creates maps and graphs and saves outputs

The run_all.R script can be sourceed to run it all at once.

Most packages used in the analysis can be installed from CRAN using install.packages(), but you will need to install envreportutils, rcaaqs and bcmaps using devtools:

install.packages("devtools") # If you don't already have it installed

library(devtools)
install_github("bcgov/rcaaqs")
install_github("bcgov/bcmaps")
install_github("bcgov/envreportutils")
