Abstract
The project looked into the effects of air quality specifically PM 2.5 on cognitive and motor scores. Physics based motor task game “Super G” was played by 878 participants which were linked with their zip code to determine the effects of environmental data and participant performance. The goal was to investigate whether poor air quality has a correlation with the motor and cognitive performance decline.
