Sector: Agriculture
Website providing information on state, Tribal, and federal implementation plans. Information included on approved state regulations, source specific requirements, and nonregulatory provisions.
Website providing downloads of two databases: a control measures reference library which provides information on control technologies for a variety of source categories, and a menu of control measures which provides information on existing emission reduction measures including efficiency and cost-effectiveness for large point sources and some nonpoint sources.
Website with information on open burning emissions, including information on burn bans, guidance on open burning restrictions, and information on pollutants released from burning trash.
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.
The ARL site is a scientific research and modeling portal. Its mission is to improve the Nation’s ability to protect human and ecosystem health by studying the physical and chemical processes occurring from the soil up to about 2–3 miles in the atmosphere. It is the birthplace of the HYSPLIT model, the global standard for tracking the movement of air parcels.
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.
Air quality maps, trends viewer, a downloadable tool and lab data. From the website: "AQview is a community-focused air quality data portal bringing together government and community-led air monitoring data to a single platform. Our primary goal is make it easier to access, understand, and use air quality data collected from the wide range of monitoring efforts occurring across California."
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.
The AQUA tool is an easy-to-use excel spreadsheet model that city staff can use with minimal guidance. It uses population, exposure, health and economic cost data, as well as epidemiologic evidence to help users calculate how emission changes can benefit local air quality and health.
Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group applies satellite observations, global models, and in situ measurements to improve understanding about the processes controlling air quality, climate, and biogeochemical cycling
