If the quality of air is dependent on the temperature then at lower temperatures the air quality will improve and at higher temperatures the quality will decline. The opposite of this hypotheses will be slightly different or will seek to disprove this original hypothesis. If there is a change in ambient air temperature then air quality will remain the same since the quality is not dependent on temperature. For this experiment the use of technology not provided by the course will be used and measurements will be taken by personnel trained to conduct measurements. The data supplied will be from Particulate Monitors, which measure particulate matter such as dust, smokes, pollen, and other small particles. Data from several sources will be used to conduct the experiment, especially the data from IQAIR which provides real-time information about air quality and pollution. Along with the data from IQAIR, I will be using statistical data and historical data, provided by the Environmental Protection Agency, to compare my values with historical values from my area. The process will be easy to follow, it will consist of taking the temperature and air quality readings in the morning before sunrise, at noon, and evening before sunset. From there I will be plotting the data on a chart to analyze the information which will prove or disprove my hypothesis. Using the Air quality index from AIRNOW.GOV will be very beneficial to compare the readings and associate them with the correct levels of air quality. Reference(s): AirNow.gov, U.S. EPA. (n.d.).
