Air Pollution in Palo Alto vs East Palo Alto

Public project summary

This research project is about the disproportionate affects of air pollution in communities of lower socioeconomic status, especially between Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. Air pollution is a major problem because it has lots of long and short term health effects, like asthma. Communities of lower socioeconomic status experience more air pollution than other communities, so this research is aiming to see if East Palo Alto experiences worse air pollution than Palo Alto.
