Air Quality

Overview
This dataset provides detailed insights into air quality conditions across New York City, highlighting environmental and public health trends over time. Air pollution remains one of the most critical environmental risks in urban areas, contributing to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and premature mortality.

Context
Air quality varies significantly across neighborhoods due to differences in emissions, population density, and environmental factors. This dataset enables researchers, data scientists, and policymakers to explore these variations and better understand the relationship between pollution exposure and health outcomes.

The dataset includes:

Air pollution indicators (e.g., PM2.5, NO₂ levels)
Geographic breakdown (boroughs, neighborhoods)
Time-based trends (yearly/monthly data)
Health-related environmental metrics
