Milwaukee Air Quality

In 2024, Data You Can Use partnered with the MKE FreshAir Collective to analyze and visualize the data they collected through their air quality sensors. The mission of MKE FreshAir Collective is to provide accurate, timely information about air quality in Milwaukee to residents, businesses, and policymakers, with a steadfast commitment to equity and addressing systemic racism. They use state-of-the-art, consumer accessible equipment to monitor air quality in real-time. Our 2024 report analyzes trends in air quality at a neighborhood level, utilizing the data from MKE FreshAir Collective’s air quality sensors.
