(assuming I have understood the issues)
For example, given several data sets of identical sets of pollution
monitors at different sites and/or times, it would probably make more sense
to import them together into a list so that they could be easily analyzed
in parallel (via e.g. lapply(..)) , combined into one structure, etc. ,
rather than littering the global environment with separate objects.

Bert
