Abstract (300 words maximum)
This poster shows the correlation between air quality and power plants in the state of Georgia. Most individuals are unaware of the amount of pollution that is emitted in their area and this poster will hopefully be an eye opener to how widespread air pollution can really be. AQI (Air Quality Index) readings were examined for the state of Georgia as well as major power plants. Together, these two maps provide evidence of strong correlation between power plants in Georgia and AQI readings in Georgia. These readings were obtained through the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) website.
