Mapping PM 2.5 Air Pollution in Texas

Analyzing the levels of PM2.5 particulate matter in Texas, its sources, health effects, and its impact on visibility. Data sourced from TCEQ Texas PM2.5 Monthly 2013 and Texas PM2.5 with Population San Antonio CPS Pecan Valley. Future work involves analyzing temperature and precipitation data. No serious PM2.5 pollution found in Texas.
