Details

PortalU is a central portal for environment data including sources at the national and the federal state level. The portal aggregates metadata and links to decentralized datasets and services. http://www.portalu.de For data about air pollution, there is a special website/database called http://www.thru.de which fulfills all of the conditions, exept open licensing. However GeoNutzV http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/geonutzv/index.html might apply, thus licensing is set to unsure. The data can be downloaded in bulk http://www.thru.de/fileadmin/SITE_MASTER/content/Dokumente/Downloads/PRTR-Gesamtdatenbestand_stand_maerz2013.zip and here http://www.thru.de/search/?c=search&a=grid
