Report on need for new air pollution research in India, leveraging big data analytics:
"Air Pollution in India: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Policy"
A pdf describing the data in the EPA's EnviroAtlas is available here, and may be the quickest way to get a sense of what's included, rather than playing with the mapping tool itself. The "how to use EnviroAtlas" page has tabs for videos, info on the data, etc. The best way to get a sense of how the Atlas might be used is to walk through the example uses. Of the three currently on the site, the first example on prioritizing tree planting for children's health and well-being is the best, and walks us through the map. Note that this example uses the more zoomed-in data of the "community component," which only a few cities in the U.S. are currently set up for, but NYC will be included very soon. The third example is more in depth, but is a static PDF, and would require more expertise to pull off. We've been told that fine-scale metrics should be available for NYC mid 2016.

Very cool LA Times visualization of the US cities that will fall out of ozone standards compliance if they are made stricter (as is expected in coming months).
