Provide air quality data and insights that help people reduce their exposure to pollution.
VERDI is a Java program for visualizing meteorology, emissions, and air quality modeling data. With options for overlaying GIS Shapefiles and observational data onto model output, VERDI offers a range of options for viewing atmospheric modeling data. VERDI scripting provides a powerful interface for automating the production of graphics for analyzing your data.
Emissions inventories for multiple source sectors collected from state air quality agencies by the Environmental Integrity Project. Inventories are available for multiple years which differ across states. Links are also provided to state inventory websites.
WRF-Chem is the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with Chemistry. The development of WRF-Chem has been a collaborative effort among the community, led by NOAA GSL. For more detail see the official WRF-Chem webpage (not reachable as of October 1, 2024).
The Air Pollutants Exposure Model (APEX) is a PC-based model that was derived from the probabilistic NAAQS Exposure Model for carbon monoxide (pNEM/CO)
"PurpleAir makes sensors that empower communities who collect hyper-local, real-time, air quality data and share it with the public."
AQMIS provides a combination of preliminary (real-time) and official (historical) data
The CDC Outdoor Air Quality Communications Toolkit is a specialized public health resource designed for health departments, professionals, and emergency responders to communicate the risks of air pollution to the general public.
"We are on a mission to bring accurate and affordable air quality monitoring to every corner of the planet and we are supported by a community of more than 30,000 engaged citizens who have already deployed an AirGradient monitor. To maximize our impact, we have completely open-sourced and shared our monitor design so that others can build upon it."
