Case study demonstrating methods for evaluating the emissions, transportation, and health impacts of infill development (building on vacant, underutilized, or bypassed land within already developed, existing urban or suburban areas).
Journal article describing a case study ex ante evaluation of the potential air quality and public health benefits of NYC 80×50 GHG reduction strategy.
Example of an ordinance regulating the construction and expansion of facilities that create air pollution. Provides information on the process, requirements and regulations, and zoning requirements.
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 site hosts an interactive R Shiny application that explores the relationship between asthma and nitrogen oxides (NOx) pollution. Users can view and interact with charts or maps to see how asthma outcomes vary with NOx levels across locations or over time, making it easier to visualize potential links between traffic‑related air pollution and respiratory health.

Updated information on best available techniques to reduce emissions, with a focus on technical descriptions and environmental performances, Information on the latest developments on reduction techniques both for general and specific applications, with a focus on technical descriptions and environmental performances, Operating experience and feedback from operators, with a focus on lessons learned in the field and real-life investments and operating costs.
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) analyzed community-level data on air quality, health, and social factors to identify neighborhoods that should be prioritized for efforts to mitigate and reduce air pollution to better protect public health. The report builds on the commitment to health and racial equity through Healthy Chicago 2025 and initiatives led by local environmental justice organizations. The aim is to provide a resource for future action on environmental health. In developing this report, they consulted with subject matter experts, advocacy groups, and community-based environmental justice organizations.
