Background Information ● The Bulldog Saloon is a friendly

neighborhood eatery.

Reason of InterestBrian- Was wondering if it was safe to breathe in the air from the establishment in which he works in. Luke- Also works their and was wondering as well. Logan- Occasionally finds himself in the vicinity.

have higher PM 2.5 levels due to dustier conditions.

● A few spikes

● Very good

Analysis ● The data was very similar

● The downstairs had better quality than the upstairs

● The upstairs had better air quality than expected

Conclusion ● Our hypothesis was correct, but the

upstairs had better air quality than we anticipated.

Tests for the future● Monitored movement around the
