Air Quality

I compared Wayne Counties air to the air in Cook County, Illinois and San Diego County, California. The air was worse in Wayne than in Cook County. San Diego County was much worse than Wayne County. Surprisingly, when I compared Michigan's total air quality with the quality of New York's air, they were about the same. I thought that New York would have the most pollution. When I compared Michigan's air with Washington's air, i discovered that Washington's air was of better quality. I chose to visit Atlantic, New Jersey. The best time to visit would be any month. The only bad time to be there would be to visit would be December. This surprises me. I thought that the air quality would be worse during the summer, because of the amount of tourism they have that time of year. Today, on November 22nd, 2009 at 10:50, the best AQI is tied at 44 for the cities of Traverse City, Ludington and Houghton Lake. The city in Michigan with the worst AQI would be the city of Saginaw with 60.
