The dataset used to calculate the products of the Interactive Atlas for PM2.5 and Surface Ozone (both MODEL HISTORICAL and MODEL PROJECTIONS datasets) corresponds to "anomalies relative to 2005-2014" and not to absolute values. Therefore, the values displayed by the Interactive Atlas, when "value" is selected in QUANTITY & SCENARIO, represent anomalies and not absolute values.

The values displayed as changes, when "change" is selected in QUANTITY & SCENARIO, are correctly labeled and the information shown is accurate, as the anomalies cancel out when taking differences.

This issue will be resolved by simply deactivating the "value" option and the corresponding historical projections since absolute values are not available in the dataset.
