Participants: MERI, Kean University

Large amounts of air quality data are being collected in the District as part of the NJMC sponsored air quality studies and EPA funded studies to assess the air quality. Emissions in the District have both anthropogenic (industry and traffic) and biogenic (wetland) origins that contribute to fine particulates in the air which have negative human health effects. This study aims at utilizing modern tools of knowledge extraction on air quality results to determine the contributions of fine particulate matter by these two sources.

Kean University faculty will be using modern tools of knowledge extraction on air quality results to determine the contributions of fine particulate to the environment. They will develop environmental data visualization products for understanding the source of airborne particulate matter in the District.
