Resource Type: Analysis
Case study of a partnership between Maryland Department of the Environment and Cheverly, Maryland to use data from a hyper-local air sensor network and local traffic data to target air emissions inspections.
Report providing evidence-based guidance to inform local actions to reduce air pollution and its impacts on health. Includes interventions to address mobile sources, buildings, industrial sources, agriculture, and individual behavior.
This page provides resources for measuring transportation greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts, and incorporating climate adaptation and resilience features as they relate to a proposed project.
A simple tool for quantifying the number of deaths and illnesses attributable to air pollution changes
This resource provides access to data from the EPA Toxics Release Inventory, which provide self reported information on toxic chemical releases and pollution prevention activities from industrial and federal facilities. There are several types of information provided by the resource, including tools for tracking releases over time, exploring individual facility releases, summaries across sectors and locations, health impacts from TRI releases, and databases of chemical releases.
The Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) converts air pollution concentrations into their impact on life expectancy. Through the AQLI’s hyper-local data, users anywhere on Earth can zoom into their district and see how much longer they would live if policies were to reduce pollution to meet the World Health Organization’s guideline, a national standard, or a user-defined target. This information can help inform local communities and policymakers about the benefits of air pollution policies in perhaps the most important measure that exists: longer lives.
Benefits of reducing PM and ozone precursors on a per-ton basis
CALPUFF is an advanced non-steady-state meteorological and air quality modeling system. It is maintained and distributed by Lakes Environmental.
Tool for estimating city-level annual emissions of methane, black carbon, and other pollutants including CO2 from various sources in the waste sector.
A tool used to quantify the number and economic value of air pollution-attributable deaths and illnesses
