Resource Type: Case study
"Case study seeking to address a critical question: Where should D.C. strategically place new sensors to build an equitable network?"
Case study of a potential program to reduce emissions from medium and heavy duty vehicles in Chicago. Includes modeling of emissions reductions for NOx and GHG, air quality impacts for NO2, ozone, and PM2.5, and estimates of health benefits.
United Kingdom guidance report from 2024, provides specific potential measures that can reduce air pollution and GHG. Focus is on integrating air quality and climate goals. Measures include transportation, built environment, and multi-sector. Includes case studies. Aimed at local agencies and elected officials working on climate and air quality issues.
This is an example of a rule requiring disclosure of the health risks from exposures to PM2.5 that are associated with wood burning devices. The rule requires home buyers or renters to sign a disclosure form which includes information on health risks from burning wood inside a home, and potential alternative ways to heat homes.
Website for the London Low Ultra Emission Zone. Includes information on the rationale and design of the program, as well as information on compliance, enforcement, and coverage. Also provides access to reports on impact of the program on emissions and air quality.
Blog post providing descriptions of five different approaches being taken by cities around the world to reduce emissions and exposures to air pollution.
"Action taken by all cities, of every size and in every country, will play a part in securing a climate-safe future. The C40 Knowledge Hub exists to help cities succeed by making the knowledge, experience and advice of those toward the head of the curve accessible to all. We cover everything you should know about tried-and-tested solutions and emerging ideas – making sense of what they are, how to deliver them, and leading examples – to offer a breadth and depth across urban climate sectors that you cannot find elsewhere."
Case study of diesel engine emissions from data centers in Quincy, Washington. Includes analysis of emissions, modeling of ambient NO2 and diesel particle exposures, and estimation of cancer and non-cancer risks.
Case study demonstrating methods for evaluating the emissions, transportation, and health impacts of infill development (building on vacant, underutilized, or bypassed land within already developed, existing urban or suburban areas).
Journal article describing a case study ex ante evaluation of the potential air quality and public health benefits of NYC 80×50 GHG reduction strategy.
