Metropolitan Council project lead Cameran J. Bailey collaborated with student Cecilia Pigozzi for her Environmental Health Sciences Plan B Thesis, to conduct a health impact assessment using a statistical analysis of air quality data, population data, baseline health incidents, and effect estimates.
