Pollutant
Assessment Criteria:
Provide a summary on the importance of pollutant monitoring and analysis, common methods, data sources and techniques.
- This section should be fairly generalized, but make sure everything is relevant to the analysis you are going to undertake for this assignment.
- Pollution Mapping . Create outputs from the data provided & additional contextual data sources, presenting the data in suitable ways followed by relevant discussion. Interpolations should be visually assessed to discuss the variation of pollutants across the study area. Others GIS skills covered during the program should be included where appropriate. Your report could include, but is not restricted to:
• Contextual map showing the data points and a suitable basemap
• Interpolation of the whole dataset, showing any patters across the study area
• Localised outputs with basemapping or aerial imagery to show areas of interest, perhaps:
– where emissions are particularly high or low
-areas with a large/susceptible populations
Conclusion . Conclude the report and include things such as the limitations of the data sources and further recommendations. Recommendations could be academic based (i.e. how to continue the research) or application based (i.e. how could the data/processes be improved).
