Some recommended follow up websites are as follows:

www.Geiacenter.org
The GEIA Inventory website contains reviews of a wide range of pollutants/pollutant groups covering ozone depleters, greenhouse gases and health related pollutants. It also provides a summary of the major sources and their distributions.

www.uea.ac.uk/~e044/apex/global.html
Peter Brimblecombe at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom has an excellent collection of links to global databases.

Here are some other suggested sites from that resource:

www.ncl.ac.uk/airweb/
Air Pollution Effects on Plants. Photographs demonstrating the range and extent of impacts of air
pollutants (covering sulphur dioxide, ozone and fluoride) on different plant species.

www.grid.unep.ch/fires
Global Forest Fire Data (GRID:UNEP). A record, updated every fortnight, of the principal forest fires occurring around the globe.

www-cger.nies.go.jp/grid-e/gridtxt/grid7.html
Matthews Global Seasonally Integrated Albedo. Data files describing estimated seasonal percentages of incoming solar radiation reflected back into space for different seasons.

www-cger.nies.go.jp/grid-e/gridtxt/grid5.html
Matthews Global Vegetation Data. A dataset of global vegetation types, based on dominant class, from 32 different classifications, on a 1 ×1° latitude spatial resolution. This was one of the datasets used to estimateglobal albedo in the Matthews Global Seasonally Integrated Albedo dataset mentioned above.

www.grid.unep.chh/datasets/gnv-data.html
TOMS Ozone Image Data 1978–91. GRID:UNEP Satellite based global ozone measurements.

www.wdc.rl.ac.uk/wdcmain/wdca/ wdca_meteor.html
World Data Center for Meteorology. Datasets and other information from a range of research programmes. There are other world data centre sites that can be accessed from the root directory, including information on sunspots, atmospheric trace gases and aerosols.
