This is a website tool that provides access to real time and historical PM2.5 data obtained from an air sensor network comprised of IQAir sensors.
Guide that provides advice for cities, counties, and other local organizations interested in using hyperlocal air quality data to drive tailored solutions for air pollution.
Mapping application that allows comparison of current and historical air pollution at federal reference monitors compares against national ambient air quality standards.
Journal article providing recommendations for personal interventions to reduce exposures to outdoor air pollution, based on a workshop sponsored by the American Thoracic Society.
EPA website providing access to the 2022 Ambient Monitoring Archive (AMA) for the Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) (i.e., “the Archive”) that houses over 115 million data records from over 6,000 monitoring sites from 1990 through 2022.
Document providing basic information on methods for reducing dust emissions
The ECHO-AIR website documents an open-source modeling tool that converts changes in emissions into estimates of PM2.5 concentration and health impacts using the InMAP Source Receptor Matrix. Developed initially for California, it provides code, setup instructions, and methodological details for running scenario analyses that quantify how incremental emission changes affect population exposure and excess mortality, with an emphasis on environmental justice and climate policy evaluation.
EPA’s Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system is an open-source, regional air quality model used to simulate how pollutants such as ozone, PM2.5, and air toxics form and move in the atmosphere. It combines detailed atmospheric chemistry, emissions, and meteorology to estimate pollutant concentrations and deposition over time and space. The CMAQ website provides the model code, documentation, tutorials, input datasets, and example applications, supporting researchers and agencies in evaluating air quality policies, health and ecosystem impacts, and interactions between air quality and climate.
