The goal of this project is to provide a visual tool both for the public, and for administrators and planners charged with improving air quality. The tool will allow the public to assess in real-time the air quality around them, and work with their local representatives and government officials to take steps to improve their local air quality. The final product will also be an easy-to-use tool for state, regional and local administrators and planners to evaluate various scenarios for improving air quality, the impact of various interventions on air quality, by performing what-if analyses, and achieve SDG targets related to improving public health through improved air quality.
