Toxicity in Pierce County Soils

compared with Population of Children Under Ten

 

In parts of Pierce County, the soil is heavily contaminated with lead and arsenic and there are many children who could be exposed.

For this analysis, I used soil samples as well as census data, which both came in xls spreadsheet form.
