Air Quality

Air Quality is a big concern now a days for many reasons. Many people need to worry about their local air quality because of health compilations such as asthma. Environmentalists worry about air quality because it can affect the ecosystem within that region. So i compared the air quality of our county (Wayne) and the 2 counties above and below us (Macomb, Monroe). After comparing the counties, Wayne had the worst air quality of the three. This makes sense if you know the demographics of the area because Wayne county is very industrialized due to the auto industry and other manufacturing industries that downgrade air quality. Monroe and Macomb both were tied for the best air quality between these counties.

Now counties are just small sections of states so I compared the air quality of three states. I chose these states because of their locations, it had nothing to do with industry or population. I compared the air quality of Michigan, Florida and California. Of these three California had the worst air quality and Florida had the best. Michigan's air quality was very close to Florida's though.

I compared Wayne County with monthly averages and I found out that the worst time for someone to visit was in February and the best time to visit is from March to June. This information would be very important to anyone with health problems visiting the area.
