What is this dashboard?
This dashboard helps you track and view air quality data from different cities and neighborhoods in the Greater Cincinnati area. It shows air quality index (AQI) data on maps, line graphs, calendars, and tables. Uniquely, this dashboard also allows you to group locations together and compare their air quality over time.
How did this dashboard come to be?
Groundwork Ohio River Valley (GWORV) is a local nonprofit whose mission is to regenerate, improve, and manage the environment by building community-based partnerships. GWORV empowers people and organizations to work together for environmental, economic, and social well-being.
GWORV sought to address gaps in air quality data across Cincinnati. Many neighborhoods previously had little to no information about the air residents were breathing. To help change that, GWORV began working with young people and community members to collect local air quality data. As part of this effort, GWORV installed seven continuous air quality monitoring stations throughout Greater Cincinnati.
The dashboard was created to make this data accessible and understandable. It helps track air quality in these communities and supports efforts to advocate for cleaner, healthier air.
The Air Quality Dashboard is made possible by the following partners:
