Final Project

Research question:

What are the contributing factors of air pollution in Richmond, Virginia and who all is affected by the air pollution/ quality?

While researching the area around Richmond, I did not find many articles that specifically led to articles in who and what is affected. While conducting my search, I stumbled upon many articles from other cities around the world, I plan to research some of the keywords against my searches throughout Richmond.

Hypotheses:

For an accurate measurement of the air quality, I will need to conduct a research study by collecting data on my own. I will need to collect data that consist of the wind, temperature, particulates in the air (if possible).

Procedure:

As stated above, I would like to collect the data, and apply it into a graph to show the rate of pollution over the years, and more specifically around the seasons. I suspect that the climate surrounding the area in study will be impacted by temperature from day to day.
