We want to find out whether the air pollution and inversion phenomenon is related, so we find some data before a factory explosion event in Taichung and after the explosion from different station, after analyzing we found that the two may be related. Therefore, we conducted the following experiments to explore the relationship between the two, also find out the reason that they affect each other.

Good choice of a relevant topic! The amount of data you collected shows you had a well conceived plan for your project.

Did you consider using a photometer to measure the amount of light that could reach the different layers?

Thanks for your advice, we appreciate this idea a lot. We didn’t choose the photometer as an instrument in our report because we came up with our research topic from the idea of the interaction between air pollution and inversion layer, in other words, the temperature change. So we use the thermometer to measure firstly. And we would love to take this photometer-idea for more data and broadening our research.
