Number of Asthma Hospitalizations vs. Particulate Matter Density within the U.S.

Abstract (300 words maximum)
It has been long known that particulate matter (PM) can pose as a serious threat to human respiratory health. Many people are unaware or undermine the effects certain kinds of pollution have on their health and wellbeing. Even more developed nations struggle to manage with the amount of pollution they produce along with mitigating its effects. This poster compares two maps showing average particulate matter under 2.5 microns and the number of Asthma Hospitalization across the U.S. within a given time frame in order to find a correlation between the two.
