The Use of Story Maps to Understand Air Pollution at School Locations in Calgary.

Air pollution affects children more than adults. This study maps school locations and p-AQHI (pseudo-Air-Quality-Health-Index) across Calgary. Land-Use-Regression models estimated air pollution based on data from 50 monitors over 2-week summer and winter campaigns. Spatial analyses show that pseudo-AQHI exhibits distinct seasonal and geographical patterns. Results are communicated through a Story map that received ~3,500 visits during its first week. Without the story map, it would still be possible to represent the data, but it would be much harder to disseminate the results broadly.
