I really enjoyed the graphs made by this team since it clearly showed what areas of NYC are particularly affected by pollution. I was impressed by their clear explanation of asthma and it relates to pollution. But I was even more surprised there was an inverse relationship between pollution falling in recent times but asthma rates increasing. Their suggestions for other possible factors for asthma rate definitely made me think about what reasons for that find.
