This open collection is designed to support and enhance global research initiatives focused on understanding and mitigating the health impacts of environmental exposures.
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
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.
USALEEP (U.S. Small-Area Life Expectancy Estimates Project) provides census-tract–level estimates of life expectancy at birth for nearly all neighborhoods in the United States. Developed by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics with partners, it uses death records and population data to show how long people are expected to live, on average, in small geographic areas. These data help researchers, health departments, and communities identify and address stark local differences in longevity linked to social, economic, and environmental conditions.
This is the text of the Linn County Iowa air quality ordinances. It provides extensive language on control of air pollution sources through rules and permits.
This resource provides information about the Property Assessed Clean Energy program which can be used to finance upfront costs for qualified energy, water, resilience, and public benefit projects with funding through a voluntary assessment on the property tax bill.
Toolkit providing access to information and resources about evolving loan funds, which are an internal capital pool that is dedicated to funding energy reduction or onsite generation projects that generate cost savings. A portion of those savings are then used to replenish the fund (i.e. revolved) allowing for reinvestment in future projects of similar value.
Website for the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund which invests in community-led projects to reduce carbon emissions, create economic opportunity, and help make Portland more resilient to a changing climate.
Website providing access to tools and resources related to Best Available Control Technologies to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants and air toxics.
