Data visualization is important for being able to understand the scope of a problem, particularly in regards to climate change and other large, difficult-to-conceptualize issues.
Our Pollutant Data Visualizer allows a user to select a state and a county to get information on the amount of different pollutants in the air.
We built this webpage by using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS (with Bootstrap) to lay out our project and give it the functionality we needed. Since we needed data on the air quality of different locations, we decided to use an EPA API that already has that information and we would pull this data based on the user selection of the state, county, and the date they wished to look at.
We used the library Chart.js to make the graphs to show the pollutants based on user selection.
