Description:

Abstract:

Ambient air monitoring sites are point locations with monitoring equipment, and possibly meteorological instruments, that monitor outdoor, near ground level criteria pollutant concentration levels.  

Purpose:

Ambient air monitoring data are provided to the EPA, to meet federal requirements, and to communicate air quality to other levels of government, air monitoring professionals, researchers, medical professionals and the public to ensure that adequate information regarding the quality of the air is available to justify modifications in planning, development, and personal behavior.

Supplemental_Information:

The original file with over 500 sites contained all the sites that monitored at one time or another. This most recent file only contains the sites that monitored at the time the file was submitted. Sites are opened and closed frequently as needs, conditions, rules, or property policies change.

Site locations were derived using two different methods. Most of the sites were derived by GPS units, and the rest through interpolation from 1:24,000 USGS 7.5' Quad maps. Therefore, these locations are for illustrative purposes only and should not be used for legal determinations.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:

Locational data was originally obtain through interpolation from 1:24000 USGS quad sheets, but most of this data has been updated using GPS units. The data ate maintained on EXCEL spread sheets, which are converted to data base files and used in ARC GIS where the LAT/LONS are converted to ALBERS coordinates. Updates of GPS data are available every two years.

Process_Description:

Obtained MS Excel spreadsheet with latitude, longitude information of 138 air monitoring sites from Nancy Shelton (DARM) . Imported this spreadsheet as a table into a MS Access database and used Access table in ArcMap to create a shapefile using the Table2Point tool. This shapefile was then inserted into ArcSDE.

Process_Description:

This dataset was downloaded by the GeoPlan Center from the FDEP website (<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp>) on 08/03/2006. When received the data set was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN.

- Added the field DESCRIPT based on full description of county code in COUNTY field. - Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Upcased all text in the attribute table. - Data set was renamed airmon_jul05 from ambient_air_monitoring_sites - Deleted fields OFFICECODE, PARAM7, PARAM8, PARAM9, PARAM10 as they contained no data.
