AirQ2: Quito Air Quality Monitoring and Visualization Tool

Abstract

This work describes the AirQ2: Quito Air Quality Monitoring and Visualization Tool, which is a web application for data visualization of meteorological and contaminant data of the Ecuadorian capital. The tool was implemented in R-shiny and allows the users to visualize hourly, daily, monthly profiles of the variables; a variety of univariate and multivariate graphs for exploratory data analysis; as well as, a spatial geolocalized representation of the contaminants. AirQ2 can support decision and policy makers to develop environmental policies and regulations; as well as, help to the general public to better understand and educate on air pollution tendencies in urban conglomerates.
