Cross reference for Ontology for EPA's Air Quality Daily Summaries Dataset classes, properties and dataproperties back to ToC

This section provides details for each class and property defined by Ontology for EPA's Air Quality Daily Summaries Dataset.

Classes

EPA Air Pollutant Standardc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://stko-kwg.geog.ucsb.edu/lod/ontology/AirPollutantStandard

This class denotes EPA's air pollutant standards for different air pollutant types. The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) established for six "criteria pollutants" in outdoor air. NAAQS are currently set for carbon monoxide, lead, ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide.
