AASQA Air Pesticide Monitoring Database from 2002

The Phytatmo database compiles measurements (gaseous and particulate fractions) of pesticides in AASQA ambient air from 2002 onwards. 321 active substances sought and more than 10,000 samples taken from 176 sites throughout metropolitan France and overseas. ### **Watchpoints** The data are intended to describe the atmospheric compartment. There is no health value on exposure to pesticides in ambient air. Limits of quantification and detection are the result of the development of laboratory analysis methods and can therefore vary from one laboratory to another and depending on the years. Data for 2018 and 2019 include 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 interpretations that may be made from these data. The data contained in this database are the responsibility of the AASQA in their respective territories. Any mention of these data must benefit from the source: ‘Atmo France and Accredited Air Quality Monitoring Associations’ The data have been the subject of scientific exploitation which have been published in the form of reports. The list of these reports is available in the tab "Reports_AASQA" via the following link: https://www.atmo-france.org/article/phytatmo ### **Lexico** **Commune**:Name of the municipality where the sampling took place **INSEE code**: INSEE code of the municipality where the sampling took place **xlamb93**: Contact details of the sampling site in the Lambert 93 system **ylamb93**: Contact details of the sampling site in the Lambert 93 system **Start of collection**: Date and time of start of sampling **End prelevemen**t: Date and time of the end of the sampling **Annee**: Year of sampling **Week**:Sampling week number **Number of days of collection**: Duration of sampling in days (rounded to the day) **Cutting PM**: Size of particles sampled: TSP = total suspended particles PM10 = particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 μm **LD (ng/m3)**: Limit of detection (ng/m3) = lowest concentration at which a compound can be detected **LQ (ng/m3)**: Limit of quantification (ng/m3) = lowest concentration at which a compound can be accurately quantified **Detection/quantification**: Indication whether the concentration is below the limit of detection or below the limit of quantification ### **Contact** For any request, please contact: data@atmo-france.org
