For my data story I chose to write about the smog advisories (or lack of) in Ottawa over the past couple years and the main factors behind this. I found my data on Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change website, specifically where the Ottawa Downtown Air Monitoring Station data is kept. I used data sets that detailed where all the air monitoring stations in Ontario are located, how many smog advisories have been issued from 2003-2015, how long these advisories lasted and the measurements of fine particulate matter which is a major factor in smog levels.
