Description
In collaboration with the EPA, CMAS is developing a suite of local-scale air quality screening tools called C-TOOLS (Community Air Quality Tools). These tools predict concentrations of multiple primary pollutants that are directly emitted (CO, SO2, NOx, PM2.5) and select Mobile Source Air Toxics (benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein) at fine spatial scales in the near-source environment.
Questions this resource can help answer
What is a screening-level estimate of emissions and air quality impacts from traffic sources?
How do I use this resource?
The Community LINE Source Model (C-LINE) is a web-based model that predicts concentrations of multiple air pollutants due to traffic emissions near roadways. C-LINE models emissions from port-related activities (e.g. ships, trucks, cranes, etc.) to support a second, port-specific modeling tool.
