Air Pollution Emissions Inventories

Description

Emissions inventories for multiple source sectors collected from state air quality agencies by the Environmental Integrity Project. Inventories are available for multiple years which differ across states. Links are also provided to state inventory websites.

Questions this resource can help answer

What are the air pollutant emissions for different sectors?
How are pollutant emissions distributed across sectors?
How do contributions across sectors differ between criteria pollutants, air toxics, and GHG?

How do I use this resource?

The resource provides a map of the U.S. where users can select a state and access detailed emissions inventory data in downloadable MS Excel files. Year availability varies across states. Click on the "State Inventory Website" link to go to the source websites. Some states also have a link to "publicly available state data" which varies by state, sometimes linking to emissions inventory submission forms, or permitting data, or duplicating the link to the state inventory website.

CoST

The Control Strategy Tool (CoST), developed in 2008, is part of EPA's Emissions Modeling Framework (EMF). CoST is used to estimate emissions reductions and engineering costs associated with control strategies applied to point and area sources of air pollutant emissions to support the analyses of air pollution policies and regulations.

MOVES

EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a state-of-the-science emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics, available under EPA's Open Source Software policy.

SMOKE

SMOKE is primarily an emissions processing system designed to create gridded, speciated, hourly emissions for input into a variety of air quality models such as CMAQ, REMSAD, CAMX and UAM. SMOKE supports area, biogenic, mobile (both onroad and nonroad), and point source emissions processing for criteria, particulate, and toxic pollutants. For biogenic emissions modeling, SMOKE uses the Biogenic Emission Inventory System. SMOKE is also integrated with the on-road emissions model MOVES.
