Antwerp Air Pollution Data

Processed air pollution data (NO2, PM10, PM2.5) collected from Antwerp in April, 2019

Overview

This repository contains the Antwerp's air pollution data collected in April, 2019. Three pollutants are considered including NO2, PM10 and PM2.5. The measurements provided by this dataset are the concentration of the considered pollutants in terms of parts per billion (ppb) (NO2) or microgram per cubic meter (μgm-3) (PM10 and PM2.5).

There are four folders, namely SSTR, HST, HTR and HSTR. Each folder has the data corresponding to a specific setting as follow.

  • SSTR: Standard spatio-temporal resolution
  • HSR: High spatial resolution
  • HTR: High temporal resolution
  • HSTR: High spatio-temporal resolution

Each folder has air quality measurements in sparse matrix format (e.g., no2_measurements.npz). A row in the air quality measurement matrix corresponds to a location. A column in the air quality measurement matrix corresponds to a time instance (e.g., 60 minutes, 30 minutes). In addition, it also contains the geo-coordinates of all the considered locations (nodes.txt). A row in the file nodes.txt has the following format:

node_id longitude latitude

The underlying graph created by the road network of Antwerp is also provided via the corresponding adjacency matrix (adj.npz). Furthermore, the training and testing masks are provided for result reproduction.

Air Quality Inference Result

The following table presents the result for air quality inference achieved by using variational graph autoencoder (AVGAE) and multi-input variational graph autoencoder (MAVGAE).
