Abstract
Studies in socioeconomic impacts of air pollution are inevitable to merge data of the air pollutant density, weather, and socioeconomic variables. Due to their spatiotemporal disparities in units, to combine these data are time and effort consuming generically. The data described in this article aims to provide the major variables of air pollution and weather at the Si-Gun-Gu level to meet the data needs from social science. The latest (August 2020) data distributed are the balanced panel of 250 Si-Gun-Gu in South Korea for 2001-2018. The weather variables in this data are directly applicable to other social science topics, which are not limited to air pollution research.
