Glasgow University Indicators Paper • Prepared by Anna Lisa Bondi, Duncan Lee and Marian Scott of the Department of Statistics. • A review of the Scottish Trends analysis methodology and results. • A draft paper based on hourly PM10 downloaded from the website has been provided and concludes the following: • Results are very similar to those produced by AEA (within 1 g/m3) • Small differences are probably due to rounding method and treatment of negative TEOM data. • The indicator is robust (4 g/m3 range)if 4 sites are used, and extremely robust (1.4 g/m3 range) if seven sites are used.
