Topic: Air emissions reductions strategy

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.

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

This is a collection of air pollution control technology fact sheets, technical bulletins, and a limited number of software tools. The reports and fact sheets were mostly developed in the 1990's and early 2000's. They cover a wide range of sources and pollutants.

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

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.

Resource

Envirofacts is the EPA's primary "one-stop shop" for environmental data. It acts as a data warehouse that integrates information from dozens of different EPA regulatory databases into a single, searchable interface

Resource

United Kingdom guidance report from 2024, provides specific potential measures that can reduce air pollution and GHG. Focus is on integrating air quality and climate goals. Measures include transportation, built environment, and multi-sector. Includes case studies. Aimed at local agencies and elected officials working on climate and air quality issues.
