About
Information on carbon monoxide levels across the United States is provided, as gathered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This data uses the Air Quality Index (AQI), a scale from 0 to 500, to communicate public health risks associated with air pollution. An AQI of 50 or below indicates good air quality, while values over 100 are considered unhealthy for sensitive groups, and values over 300 are deemed hazardous. Data is collected from over 200 monitoring sites, providing geographical context for air quality readings.
Columns
- date_local: The date the measurement was recorded.
- state_name: The name of the state where the measurement was taken.
- county_name: The name of the county where the measurement was taken.
- city_name: The name of the city where the measurement was taken.
- local_site_name: The specific name of the local monitoring site.
- parameter_name: The name of the air pollutant being measured, which is 'Carbon monoxide'.
- units_of_measure: The unit used for the measurement, which is 'Parts per million'.
