Of concern for public health officials and biologists are models of air pollution as a function of environmental characteristics. Using a meta-analysis of government publications Sokal and Rolf (1995) compiled an interesting dataset which investigates air pollution (measured as annual mean SO_2 concentration per m^3) as a function of six environmental variables for 32 cities in the United States. Whenever the data were available they are based on averages of three years 1969, 1970, and 1971.
