[Addie Schaefer]

I am looking to plot PM2.5 over the United States. Does anyone have any datasets they would recommend? Thanks!

Hi Addie! I found that using CMAQ data is very helpful for plotting criteria pollutants over the United States, I hope this helps!

Hi Addie, The CONUS PM2.5 data hosted on SEDAC have been used for many health studies, https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/aqdh-pm2-5-concentrations-contiguous-us-1-km-2000-2016. Maps also exist on airnow.gov. Others might have suggestions for a specific application.

The new HAQAST flow chart might also be helpful: https://haqast.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/91/2023/05/HAQAST_Flowchart-5-8-23.pdf.
