prov. małopolskie (Kraków),
prov. pomorskie (Gdańsk),
in the period from January 2015 to March 2020.
The results from cities areas should be compared with results from one outside the city area.
In addition, the exercise should include comparative analysis of air pollution with carbon monoxide for Kraków (Poland) and Edinburgh (United Kingdom) in time range 2015-2020.
Upon completion of this exercise student shall fluently navigate various public domain databases focused on monitoring of air pollution in different areas of the globe (especially Poland). Student also will be able to export data from mentioned databases in order to perform own statistical calculations and present results of the analysis in a transparent manner.
