The Biomass Smoke Validated Events Database.
This dataset contains validated events of extreme biomass smoke pollution across Australian cities. If you notice an error in these data please suggest a change with a 'pull request'. We believe that this will improve the data through community error checking and benefit the whole biomass smoke health research community.
