This is an example of a rule requiring disclosure of the health risks from exposures to PM2.5 that are associated with wood burning devices. The rule requires home buyers or renters to sign a disclosure form which includes information on health risks from burning wood inside a home, and potential alternative ways to heat homes.
A tool used to quantify the number and economic value of air pollution-attributable deaths and illnesses
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.
Provide air quality data and insights that help people reduce their exposure to pollution.
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.
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.
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)
