Air Pesticide Monitoring Database by AASQAs from 2002 onwards

The Phytatmo base compiles the measurements (gaseous and particulate fractions) of pesticides in ambient air of AASQA from 2002 onwards. 321 active substances sought and more than 10,000 samples taken from 176 sites throughout metropolitan France and overseas. ### **points of vigilance** The data are intended to describe the atmospheric compartment. There is no health value on exposure to pesticides in ambient air. The limits of quantification and detection stem from the development of laboratory analysis methods and can therefore vary from one laboratory to another and function over the years. Among the data for the years 2018 and 2019, is data from the National Pesticide Exploratory Campaign, a study led by ANSES, Ineris and Atmo France. The Accredited Air Quality Monitoring Associations (AASQA) and the Atmo France Federation cannot be held responsible for any interpretations that may be made from this data. The data contained in this database is the responsibility of AASQA in their respective territories. Any mention of these data must benefit from the source: “Atmo France and Associations Approved for Air Quality Monitoring” The data have been the subject of scientific exploitation which has been published in the form of reports. The list of these reports is available in the “Reports_AASQA” tab via the following link: https://www.atmo-france.org/article/phytatmo ### **lexic** **Municipal**:Name of the municipality where the levy took place **INSEE code**: INSEE code of the municipality where the sampling took place **xlamb93**: Coordinates of the sampling site in Lambert 93 **ylamb93**: Coordinates of the sampling site in Lambert 93 **Beginning**: Date and time of start of sampling **End prelevemen**t: Date and time of end of sampling **Year**: Year of sampling **Week**:Sampling week number **No. of days of collection**: Duration of sampling in days (rounded to day) **Cut PM**: Size of particles taken: TSP = total suspended particles PM10 = particles with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm **LD (ng/m³)**: Detection limit (ng/m³) = lowest concentration at which a compound can be detected **LQ (ng/m³)**: Limit of quantification (ng/m³) = the lowest concentration at which a compound can be accurately quantified **Detection/quantification**: Indication whether the concentration is below the detection limit or below the limit of quantification ### **contact** For any request, please contact: [email protected]
