Continuous measurement of gaseous pollutants in Buenos Aires City
Data on CO, NO, NO2 and O3 concentrations measured in Buenos Aires city using a continuous monitoring station are reported. This is the first systematic study of this kind carried out in the city, which is, together with its surroundings, the third more populated in Latin America. Measurements were...

Data on CO, NO, NO2 and O3 concentrations measured in Buenos Aires city using a continuous monitoring station are reported.

The concentration of O3 is generally quite low and results from the mixing of clean air masses with exhaust gases containing high amounts of NO.
