  1. Abbreviations: H2S: hydrogen sulfide; Max: maximum value over specific time period; Mean: mean value over specified time period; Min: minimum value over specific time period; NO2: nitrogen dioxide; O3: ozone; PM10: particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤10 μm; Rel. humidity: relative humidity; SD: standard deviation.
  2. a The maximum value of relative humidity is 100%. There is a 2.5% error margin in the measuring equipment.
  3. Description of air pollution in Reykjavik, Iceland, over the study period of January 1st 2005 to December 31st 2009. 24-hour mean values and 3-day mean values are shown as well as Pearson’s correlation coefficient between pollutant factors.
