Air Quality Awareness Week 2020
In celebration of Air Quality Awareness Week 2020, the division has created a new story map aimed at upper elementary students that explores the topic of air pollution and how we measure it in Kentucky. Story maps use Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to combine geospatial maps, photos, video and information to tell a place-based story. Our story map tells the story of air monitoring in Kentucky by focusing on one pollutant, particulate matter, to help students understand how we track air quality. The story map includes an interactive map of Kentucky’s air monitoring network showing what and where we monitor for air pollution across the commonwealth.
