3C273| A One Health Approach

A One Health Approach

Air pollution is a major global environmental health risk, causing an estimated seven million deaths across the globe annually. Your challenge is to take an interdisciplinary approach, using both Earth science and health science, and integrate different types of datasets and applications to study the effects of air pollution.

Effect of Covid-19 to air quality in the selected state of USA.

Summary

This project gives an overview of the effect of Covid-19 to air quality in the selected state of the USA. These selected areas are Alabama, Texas, Wyoming and Vermont. This project aims to investigate whether there is a different air quality level between the green area of Covis -19: Wyoming and Vermont, and the red area of Covid-19: Alabama and Texas.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Developing a visualization of the air quality level (PM2.5, PM10, Ozone, NO2, CO, and SO2) among the selected area during the period of November, 2019 to Jun, 2020. We also do the statistics analysis in this project. This is important to let us know how Covid-19 will affect the air quality of the society and hence to give an idea to people how to conserve the air environment.

How We Developed This Project

This year is a infortune year. Not just Australia bushfire, locust plagues at Africa due to global warning, climate change and ozone hole, all these kind of disaster cannot leave with of factor of air pollution. And because of air pollution and coming Covid-19 will affect the respiratory system and lung of the people. This is why we select A One Health Approach Challenge.

In this project, we are using python language, software of Ananconda3 jupyter Notebook and Excel to do the visualization and statistic analysis test among the dataset.

To do the visualization and see the data trend, python package of pandas, numpy, matplotlib and seaborn for the graph.

We are developing a visualization of the Daily AQI Value of the air (PM2.5, PM10, Ozone, NO2, CO, and SO2) among the selected area during the period of November, 2019 to Jun, 2020. We also do the ANOVA test in this project. This is because we are aims to see how the Covid-19 will affect the air quality of the selected area and is the Covid-19 a significant factor on the air quality of the selected area.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

The data used in this project is collected in the United States Environmental Protection Agency. We download the Daily Data air quality by the selected area and pollutant(PM2.5, PM10, Ozone, NO2, CO, SO2).
