vayuayan is an R package. It downloads and processes air
quality data from three sources: CPCB CAAQMS monitoring stations in
India, OAQ low-cost sensor networks in India, and WUSTL ACAG satellite
PM2.5 estimates for the whole globe. The package gives an easy R
interface to get daily AQI, PM2.5 and other pollutants for a city, a
station, a point or a region. The name means “the path of wind” (वायु,
wind + अयन, path).
