The Control Strategy Tool (CoST), developed in 2008, is part of EPA's Emissions Modeling Framework (EMF). CoST is used to estimate emissions reductions and engineering costs associated with control strategies applied to point and area sources of air pollutant emissions to support the analyses of air pollution policies and regulations.

EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a state-of-the-science emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics, available under EPA's Open Source Software policy.

Resource

SMOKE is primarily an emissions processing system designed to create gridded, speciated, hourly emissions for input into a variety of air quality models such as CMAQ, REMSAD, CAMX and UAM. SMOKE supports area, biogenic, mobile (both onroad and nonroad), and point source emissions processing for criteria, particulate, and toxic pollutants. For biogenic emissions modeling, SMOKE uses the Biogenic Emission Inventory System. SMOKE is also integrated with the on-road emissions model MOVES.

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.

Resource

The EDF Turbine Map is an advocacy-focused geospatial tool developed by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in partnership with Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres. It is designed to expose the environmental and health impacts of gas-fired combustion turbines across the United States.

Resource

Mapping tool that provides information on criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from Title V permitted sources in New Mexico. Data is provided in map form or in tables and charts. Data can be filtered and downloaded as a CSV file.

Resource

TANKS, Version 5 is a browser-based application that estimates volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from fixed- and floating-roof storage tanks.

Resource

This resource provides access to data from the EPA Toxics Release Inventory, which provide self reported information on toxic chemical releases and pollution prevention activities from industrial and federal facilities. There are several types of information provided by the resource, including tools for tracking releases over time, exploring individual facility releases, summaries across sectors and locations, health impacts from TRI releases, and databases of chemical releases.

Resource

This tool provides facility-level information about toxic substances made, used and disposed of in the United States for facilities that report to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxics Release Inventory. It has data from the EPA’s TRI, Greenhouse Gas Reporting System (GHGRP) and Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) programs. Search for facilities by ZIP code, substance or parent company to learn how your community is affected.
