| Question | Answer | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Openly licenced | No | Reviewer: No direct reference to a open license done. |
| In an open and machine-readable format | I couldn't obtain data in machine readable format as demanded by the methodology, only in PDF and for visualizing plotted in an online map. .XLS and. SHP files could be obtained for the Amazon Region, but it is not per air monitoring station, not for all pollutants and it is outdated. | |
| Downloadable at once | No | The dataset is not downloadable. All data is available for visualization in the web (first link) or in a report in pdf. The only link that permits data download in the third, which is only for the Amazon Region. |
| Up-to-date | No | Data provided by the MMA is from 2012. The real time data in the map from INPE doesn't show the values, So I didn't consider here for this question. |
| Publicly available | Yes | |
| Available free of charge | Yes | |
| findable | 1 | Information is very disaggregated, it took me a lot of time to come with all these links I found, and I had to ask a specialist for help. |
| findable_steps | 1) Search in google for pollutant emissions data in Brazil, but this was not very successful; 2) Ask a specialist for more information; 3) Come with the INPE website where I found most of the information; 4) Search for information in the Ministry of Environment website; 5) Look for insights in 2015 index to compare; 6) Look for more information in other administrative levels; 7) Aggregate information to see what was more relevant. | |
| licence_url | https://www.mma.gov.br/images/arquivo/80060/Diagnostico_ | The link is not for a license, it is the same link provided for the report from MMA. In its page 5 it says that Federal Law nº 10.650/2003 required that the National System of Environment published yearly reports on air quality, being compulsory its publication in official internet websites. As for data from the Amazon Region, from INPE, there is "other" attribution license, as can be seen at this link: https://dados.gov.br/dataset/inpe-em/resource/6ec5237b-dc27-4489-8ad2-17ff7548dbf6 |
| Collected by government | Yes | |
| usability | 1 | The comprehensive data is available only in PDF format or in a plotted dynamic map on the web, so the data is not at all ready to use. |
| collector_name | Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE); Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA) | Information on this topic is disaggregated in many different sources. I listed here the two main sources that I found. INPE (roughly translated as National Institute for Spatial Research) is a government agency of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications and MMA is the brazilian Ministry of Environment. |
| characteristics | Particulate matter (PM), Sulphur oxides (SOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Ozone, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Available per air monitoring station/zone | I found all the information required per air monitoring station in the document from MMA (the second link) above, but it is on .PDF format and it is outdated (2012). Information in real time (the first link) is not available per air monitoring station and is missing for Sulphur oxides. Reviewer: No data found on NOx in the quality required. |

In PDF only for two pollutants. Subnational level., https://sistemasinter.cetesb.sp.gov.br/Ar/php/boletim_po - Real Time data on air quality monitoring by the State Government of São Paulo. No download option, only for six pollutants. Subnational level. | Here I listed not only the two main sources I'm using but all the other relevant information I found, from other sources. I included subnational level links as examples of better practices beyond the Federal government. |
