The Air Toxics Screening Assessment (AirToxScreen) is EPA's screening tool that provides communities with information about health risks from air toxics. AirToxScreen is part of EPA's new approach to air toxics that provides updated data and risk analyses on an annual basis, helping state, local and tribal air agencies, EPA, and the public more easily identify existing and emerging air toxics issues.

Resource

Collection of information about air pollutant emissions controls selected by the Regional Air Quality Council, the lead planning agency for the Denver Metro/North Front Range region. The web resource includes information on the emissions reduction potential, costs, and impacts of a set of control strategies for NOx and VOC emissions to address ambient ozone.

Resource

This open collection is designed to support and enhance global research initiatives focused on understanding and mitigating the health impacts of environmental exposures.

Resource

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.

Resource

The Framework for Evaluating Damages and Impacts (FrEDI) is a peer-reviewed, open-source, reduced complexity model that draws on peer-reviewed information to rapidly project the annual impacts of climate change within the United States, through the 21st century, under any custom temperature trajectory.

This map returns an inventory of stationary sources of air pollution based on origin coordinates, radius, and pollutant

Resource

SPECIATE is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) database of organic gas and particulate matter (PM) speciation profiles of air pollution sources, which provide the chemical composition of emissions from sources as a percentage of the total weight of PM or organic gas. Organic gas profiles may represent total organic gases (TOG), volatile organic compounds (VOC) or a variation. PM speciation profiles include data for PM of various size classes, such as PM2.5, which represents the mass of particles less than

or equal to 2.5 microns in diameter. In addition to PM and organic gas profiles, SPECIATE contains other profiles such as for nitrogen oxides, mercury and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC).

The resource includes an online browser which allows users to view detailed information about the emissions profile in tabular form or bar and pie charts, as well as downloadable databases.

Resource

Provides guidance for emissions estimation and downloadable spreadsheet based tools for estimating emissions from several different source categories including asphalt plants, concrete plants, combustion sources, and woodworking facilities.

Resource

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.

Resource

Example of an ordinance regulating the construction and expansion of facilities that create air pollution. Provides information on the process, requirements and regulations, and zoning requirements.
