rdefra: Interact with the UK AIR Pollution Database from DEFRA

Description

This packages allows to retrieve air pollution data from the Air Information Resource (UK-AIR, https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/) of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in the United Kingdom. UK-AIR does not provide a public API for programmatic access to data, therefore this package scrapes the HTML pages to get relevant information. The package is described in Vitolo et al. (2016) "rdefra: Interact with the UK AIR Pollution Database from DEFRA" \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.21105/joss.00051")}.
