postcodElapse.Rd

Estimates air pollutant concentration for given Dutch postcodes. Using ELAPSE (included) and a postcode database (not-included). Two postcode databases formatted as Geopackage (.gpkg) are supported Postcode6(PC6) and Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen(BAG) download one of these and point the database argument to it's location. PostcodElapse automatically guesses the type argument, which can be changed to "PC6" or "BAG".

postcodElapse() produces a data.frame with the following content:

  • The postcode

  • Number of buildings in that postcode n.

  • Mean, minimum & maximum concentration for all air pollutants, in µg/m3.
