Get the details behind the New York City Community Air Survey (NYCCAS): 10 years of neighborhood scale street-level air quality data that is funded by the city council. There may be no better data available to look at spatial variability of Air Pollution across NYC. Talk to the data analysts in charge of the project at NYC HEALTH to find out more about the data collection, how we analyze it, what it can be used for, what are some pitfalls to avoid when using it, what data products are available and where you can find them. Weigh in on alternative data formats! We can offer insights into how NYCCAS data can help New Yorkers interested in assessing air quality of their neighborhoods through community science projects.
