The data is not available in bulk in the sense that you have to download budget information for expenditure and incomes separately.

No explicit notice or information has been found explaining the terms of use of the data set.

QA comment - change to bulk, because the files are available under the same link (as we accepted in other countries). The data does not have a license or any terms of use. i have changed it to now.

The data is in a PDF file from 1994. There is not more data published by the Minister. I am not sure if the data is update, I should request the info to the Minister.

For the ODGI I asked the Ministry of Enviroment and they mentioned that the data is not available anymore, because they got money from international cooperation to do the first reports, but they don´t do it any more.

2015 update data for Air Quality is for one city and only for pm 2.5 the data is updata and is by The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources raw pm 2.5 data is in this link http://www.snet.gob.sv/googlemaps/calidadaire/monitoreo.php for data that of Air Quality Index (ICCA)- http://www.snet.gob.sv/ver/meteorologia/monitoreo/calidad+del+aire/
