National Park Air Quality
Project #1620 on iSENSEProject.org
Description
Project Description: This project is comparing the air quality in National Parks all over the Unites States. In the data set I chose to focus on the parks in the Northeast and Pacific West. This data set looks at three properties: Ammonia, Nitrates, and sulfates and their levels found in the air over the parks.
Guiding Questions:
1. What park in the Northeast has the highest level of sulfate?
2. What park in the Pacific West has the highest nitrate level?
3. Does the Northeast or the Pacific west parks have the lowest overall ammonia level?
4. Which property changes the least among the parks?
