Analysis.

Air Quality Categories:

Good (0-20 µg/m³): Fine for most people.
Moderate (20-35 µg/m³): Acceptable for most, some may experience minor issues.
Dangerous (>35 µg/m³): Children, elderly, and people with heart breathing conditions should keep their outdoor activity to a minimum.

Conclusions:

* Most readings fall in the "Good" category which means there's healthy air quality in Brooklyn for the most part.

* An average of 12.5 µg/m³ means the air quality is usually safe for outdoor activities.

* The peak reading of 41.13 µg/m³ indicates that there may be occasional spikes in pollution on a monthly basis that reach dangerous levels.

* Minimum reading of 3.42 µg/m³ shows that air quality can be very good at times.


Those involved in local work around health and safety as well as environmental justice should cross reference this current dataset with its previous versions to identify trends and other conclusions to inform action items.
