Air Pollution and its Correlation to Asthma in Georgia
Disciplines

Abstract (300 words maximum)
This poster is about the correlation between levels of air pollution (particularly PM2.5) and asthma. I'm using maps that I developed using ArcGIS Pro and data from various sources to do so. Most of my data so far has been from a website used for making web maps, story maps, map layers, and other map-related projects. It's called ArcGIS Online it is a website that also gives access to map-related data some of which I used. Such as locations known to release air pollution and choropleth map data for the crude prevalence of asthma. This helped provide a good visual representation of the data that I will present in my poster. I also used data from the EPA or Environmental Protection agency. This was used for my PM2.5 data. Also, my poster Is focused right here in Georgia and is specifically about data for the counties of Georgia. I'm hoping to use my research to help spread awareness of the dangers of air pollution when it comes to the respiratory health of the citizens of Georgia.
