  • Feature Engineered to filter for areas that reach levels of extremely dangerous pollutants
  • Studied the World Health Organization’s standards of such pollutant and filtered further
  • Modeled over the top 5 districts with the highest pollutants and predicted levels for days later in the interest of public health concerns.
