My Full Report:
City: Roswell
State: Georgia
Country: United States of America!
Data Monitoring Dates: October 4, 5, 8, 9, and 12, 2001
Average Ozone: 90ppb
Average Temperature: 20.422 C
Research Summary: My research was done at an office complex where I work. We are located near a highway, and on non-humid days, the ozone is high.

What you learned: I never realized how high the ozone is around my place of work! It always seems so nice outside sitting on the patio, but in reality, the ozone is pretty bad.
How you told others in community: I told some of the people I work with because they saw me putting up the Eco badges up at work and were curious.
My Reflection Paper:
(1) Problem I studied:
I studied the ozone level outside of my office building for 5 days.
(2) Methods used, data collected, and the conclusions that you can draw by examining yours and others data:
I taped an Eco badge to a piece of paper which I taped outside of my office in the same spot for the five days. I used WeatherBug to help with the temperature, precipitation, humidity level, and wind speed/direction because the tools I had to measure them by were not very accurate. I also used Phil Memery's Personal home page to do the temperature and speed conversions. You can view all the data I collected above. The conclusions you can draw by everyone's data is that we live in a world of high ozone (the Us is comparatively worse then Russia). Because of this, we may have higher occurrences of respiration problems if something isn't done.
(3) Steps that must be taken by your local community to help resolve the problem of ground-level ozone:
Reducing the number of cars would be great. If that can't be done by tela-working, car companies should have higher restrictions placed on them for ozone output. I also think all the trees being cut down is not helping. I'd like to see the entire metro Atlanta area pass some laws to greatly reduce the number of trees being cut down...at least out law clear cutting land.
(4) Application of this activity to middle and high school science teaching:
Many science classes across the world could easily incorporate the Internal Clean Act Project into their curriculum-especially Earth Science classes. The website gives lesson plans (just click teachers notes on the left hand side menu) to help implement relevant activities so you and your class can collect data.
