Harlem
In New York City there are high concentrations of Particulate Matter, but not all areas are affected equally. Our team consists of people who live in low income areas like upper Manhattan and the South Bronx. Research has shown that these areas have a higher probability of children with asthma. To investigate this further, our team assembled and coded particulate matter sensors to measure the air quality in Harlem, Washington Heights, and the South Bronx.
