EPA’s greenhouse gas data portal at ghgdata.epa.gov (the FLIGHT tool) is an interactive website that lets users explore facility-level greenhouse gas emissions reported under EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. It provides maps, tables, and charts showing emissions by facility, industry sector, gas, location, and year, and allows filtering by state or county, source category, emission thresholds, and gas type. Users—such as policymakers, researchers, advocates, and companies—can quickly identify major emitters, compare facilities, examine trends over time, and download customized datasets for further analysis.
NOAA’s HYSPLIT (Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) website provides access to a powerful atmospheric transport and dispersion model used to simulate how airborne pollutants, smoke, dust, volcanic ash, and other particles move and spread in the atmosphere. The site offers model documentation, tutorial materials, downloadable desktop software, and online web-based tools that let users calculate air parcel trajectories, dispersion, and deposition patterns based on meteorological data. It is widely used for air quality studies, emergency response, and research on long-range transport of contaminants.
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 providing detailed information on Maricopa County, Arizona Emission Reduction Credit Program, which allows sources to offset emissions in nonattainment areas throughout Maricopa County. Emissions credits are generated by creating permanent emission reductions, and can be bought, sold, or traded between companies.
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.
Provides six case studies of strategies for air pollution management from cities around the world, including New York City, NY; Barranquilla, Columbia; Accra, Ghana; Kampala, Uganda; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Beijing, China. The New York case study focused on enhanced local air quality monitoring to address specific causes of local poor air quality.
Website that provides access to information on local government strategies to reduce emissions of air pollution. Includes information for mobile sources, area, non-road, and stationary sources. Includes model ordinances and policies.
This is a report that provides information on funding and financing approaches that are potentially applicable at state and city levels. It highlights opportunities to leverage public and private financial resources. The report was developed for EU cities, but many of the examples and cases are applicable to U.S. cities.
Searchable database of enforcement information that includes data on specific facilities with violations, enforcement actions, and penalties. Provides very detailed information about violating facilities as well as information on the communities near the facility.
