Import air quality data from European database until February 2024

This function is a simplified version of the saqgetr package (see https://github.com/skgrange/saqgetr) for accessing European air quality data. As saqgetr was retired in February 2024, this function has also been retired, but can still access European air quality data up until that retirement date. Consider using the EEA Air Quality Download Service instead (https://eeadmz1-downloads-webapp.azurewebsites.net/).

Usage

importEurope(
  site = "debw118",
  year = 2018,
  tz = "UTC",
  meta = FALSE,
  to_narrow = FALSE,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

site

The code of the site(s).

year

Year or years to import. To import a sequence of years from 1990 to 2000 use year = 1990:2000. To import several specific years use year = c(1990, 1995, 2000) for example.

tz
