Utah Environmental Interactive Map

Description

Interactive map that displays information on air quality monitoring, locations of oil and gas wells, ozone and PM2.5 nonattainment areas, permitting and compliance for NSR and Title V permits, and point source emissions.

Questions this resource can help answer

What are facility emissions for point sources in nonattainment areas in Utah?

What are recent air quality concentrations near facilities with high emissions levels in Utah?

How do I use this resource?

Select a category of data from the menu on the right of the map. Once you have selected the data you want to map, click on the Search Layers button. Click on individual locations to see data on the facility. You can download the information using the button on the right. You can download in multiple formats including .CSV and shapefiles.

Pro tips

There are several training videos describing how to use the interactive map. They are available in the links button at the top right of the map (the square made of dots).

Using Green Infrastructure to Protect People from Air Pollution

This guide summarises the current best practice for how green infrastructure can reduce public exposure to air pollution in the urban environment.

Model

Hazardous Air Pollutant Exposure Model (HAPEM)

EPA’s HAPEM (Hazardous Air Pollutant Exposure Model) is a human exposure model that estimates how people are exposed to outdoor-origin hazardous air pollutants as they move through different microenvironments (home, work, in transit, outdoors). Using ambient concentration inputs, population and activity-pattern data, and microenvironmental factors (e.g., infiltration indoors), HAPEM produces distributions of exposure for various population groups and is used in national? and regional?scale risk assessments such as the National Air Toxics Assessment.

Model

GEOS-Chem

GEOS-Chem is an open?source global 3?D chemical transport model used to simulate atmospheric composition, including gases and aerosols, and their chemistry, transport, and deposition. The website provides documentation, installation and run instructions, tutorials, model version information, input datasets, and links to the user community and developer resources. Researchers use it to run simulations for air quality, climate, and biogeochemical cycling studies, and to contribute improvements back to the shared codebase.

Human Exposure Model (HEM)

EPA’s Human Exposure Model (HEM) is a probabilistic exposure assessment tool used to estimate how people are exposed to contaminants (often air pollutants, but not limited to them) through different pathways and microenvironments. It is designed to support human health risk assessments by translating environmental concentrations into population exposure distributions for specific pollutants, locations, and demographic groups. HEM uses information on contaminant levels, population characteristics, and time–activity patterns to produce quantitative estimates of average and high-end exposures suitable for regulatory analyses and comparative policy evaluations.
