Project
May 4, 2008
My final project consisted of mapping air emission concentrations of each county in Ohio. I found the data, but learned that I had to manipulate it in excel in order to find the total emissions for each county from multiple plants in that county where emissions were measured. Once I got the data manipulated, I tried to join it to the Ohio layer I created, but it would not work. The FIPS codes were all correct, but when I selected to match the FIPS codes in the Ohio layer, I was only given the ability to match the county names in my file. I finally took the time to painstakingly put the ObjectID number in my table and was then able to match the data by the OID number.
Ridiculous.
However, it worked out and I was able to create three maps that showed the CO, SO2, and NOx emissions in each county, along with the general population of that county.
All of my data is on my personal laptop.
