"Case study seeking to address a critical question: Where should D.C. strategically place new sensors to build an equitable network?"
This page provides resources for measuring transportation greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts, and incorporating climate adaptation and resilience features as they relate to a proposed project.
InMAP is a recently developed model which offers a new approach to estimating the human health impacts caused by air pollutant emissions and how those impacts are distributed among different groups of people.
"BetterHubs aims to use a set of core objectives to help governments, companies, investors, and local communities design and engage with Hub projects in a way that sets a new bar for industrial innovation."
Air sensor monitors that are lower in cost, portable and generally easier to operate than regulatory-grade monitors are widely used in the United States to understand air quality conditions. This website provides the latest science on the performance, operation and use of air sensor monitoring systems for technology developers, air quality managers, participatory scientists and the public. The EPA is involved in the advancement of air sensor technology, including performance evaluations of sensor devices and best practices for effectively using sensors. The information can help the public learn more about air quality in their communities.
"The National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (Tracking Network) brings together health data and environmental data from national, state, and city sources and provides supporting information to make the data easier to understand. The Tracking Network has data and information on environments and hazards, health effects, and population health."
This report introduces the concept of Sustainable First Mover Initiatives (SFMIs)33333. These are $1.5^{\circ}C$ Paris Agreement-aligned efforts designed to transition the shipping sector away from fossil fuels toward electrofuels (such as e-hydrogen, e-ammonia, and e-methanol)44444. The resource focuses on the role of ports as critical hubs for this transition, especially in the Global South, ensuring that decarbonization provides social, economic, and environmental co-benefits to local communities555555555.
A simple tool for quantifying the number of deaths and illnesses attributable to air pollution changes
Case study of a potential program to reduce emissions from medium and heavy duty vehicles in Chicago. Includes modeling of emissions reductions for NOx and GHG, air quality impacts for NO2, ozone, and PM2.5, and estimates of health benefits.
CASTNET is a national monitoring network established to assess trends in pollutant concentrations, atmospheric deposition, and ecological effects due to changes in air pollutant emissions.
