Sector: Energy generation
The resource provided is the 2024 Toolkit for Local Climate Action, a collaborative guide developed by the African American Mayors Association (AAMA), the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), and Elemental Impact
The resource provided is the Communication Toolkit on Communicating on Air Quality and Health, developed as part of the Urban Air – Pro-Air Quality (UA-PAQ) initiative. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving various European and international partners, often focusing on city-level air quality management
Data, tools, and resources to conduct research, develop web and mobile applications, design data visualizations, and more.
ICIS-AIR contains compliance and permit data for stationary sources of air pollution (such as electric power plants, steel mills, factories, and universities) regulated by EPA, state and local air pollution agencies. The information in ICIS-AIR is used by the states to prepare State Implementation Plans (SIPs) and to track the compliance status of point sources with various regulatory programs under Clean Air Act.
A tool used to quantify the number and economic value of air pollution-attributable deaths and illnesses
Blog post providing descriptions of five different approaches being taken by cities around the world to reduce emissions and exposures to air pollution.
The toolkit’s purpose is to serve as a unified resource to enable public information officers to provide messaging related to air quality incidents throughout the Bay Area.
Aggregates emission and air quality data from agencies like the EPA, NOAA, and NASA.
This is a comprehensive tool that allows users to query, locate, and view GHG, criteria, and air toxics emissions. The tool includes maps, charts, and tables, and allows for visualization of trends over time. The tool allows users to display community vulnerability data. Maps and data are downloadable.
From the EPA website: "The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive source of data from EPA's Clean Air Power Sector Programs on the environmental characteristics of almost all electric power generated in the United States.
The data includes emissions, emission rates, generation, heat input, resource mix, and many other attributes. eGRID is typically used for greenhouse gas registries and inventories, carbon footprints for electricity purchases, consumer information disclosure, emission inventories and standards, power market changes, and avoided emission estimates."
