Abstract
Ellensburg High School Advanced Placement (AP) Environmental class used a black carbon Aethalometer to record the concentration of black carbon in multiple locations around Ellensburg during the winter of 2015. We compared black carbon concentrations over both elevation and location. Black carbon is ultrafine particulate pollution that can be absorbed into the lungs and cause respiratory problems.
