The Air District works closely with the California Air Resources Board to reduce the amount of air pollution from on- and off-road mobile sources, such as trucks, buses, construction equipment, and recreational vehicles. This site describes how BAAQMD is reducing emissions from mobile sources.
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
In collaboration with the EPA, CMAS is developing a suite of local-scale air quality screening tools called C-TOOLS (Community Air Quality Tools). These tools predict concentrations of multiple primary pollutants that are directly emitted (CO, SO2, NOx, PM2.5) and select Mobile Source Air Toxics (benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein) at fine spatial scales in the near-source environment.
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."
"Action taken by all cities, of every size and in every country, will play a part in securing a climate-safe future. The C40 Knowledge Hub exists to help cities succeed by making the knowledge, experience and advice of those toward the head of the curve accessible to all. We cover everything you should know about tried-and-tested solutions and emerging ideas – making sense of what they are, how to deliver them, and leading examples – to offer a breadth and depth across urban climate sectors that you cannot find elsewhere."
A compendEnviroAtlas is a comprehensive geospatial decision-support tool developed by the EPA to help users visualize and analyze the relationships between nature, people, and health.
