Guiyang shares eco-data with residents

To meet the growing demand for information about ecology and the environment, the Guiyang bureau dedicated to these two fields recently launched the "Data of Ecological Guiyang" column on its Chinese website.

This initiative employs data visualization techniques to provide the public with more intuitive, efficient, and convenient access to high-quality ecological and environmental data.

The column uses readily available and shared data for direct analysis, ensuring a streamlined and efficient data-processing workflow.

Focusing on analyzing the six key indicators of air pollution – nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, 8-hour ozone concentration, inhalable particulate matter (PM10), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) – the column provides a comprehensive overview of the atmospheric environmental quality over the past seven days.

It also includes a forecast of the atmospheric environmental quality for the coming five days and an analysis of primary pollutants.

Comparative analyses are conducted between water quality monitoring results from centralized drinking water sources supplying the urban area and those from county-level centralized drinking water sources.

Additionally, the column features comparative analyses of environmental noise in urban areas as well as road traffic noise.

By subjecting complex ecological and environmental data to multidimensional analysis, the column generates various charts and reports. These visualizations, including bar graphs, gauge charts, watershed maps, pie charts, and more, enhance the readability and user-friendliness of the data.
