Helps community groups and interested citizens collect air samples. The results help the community and DEC understand air quality concerns. DEC provides the air sampling equipment and training to participants in the program. The participants collect air samples and then DEC analyzes the air samples and provides an explanation of the results.

AQMx is the Air Quality Management Exchange Platform, an online “one?stop shop” designed to build capacity among air quality managers worldwide. Led by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and UNEP, it provides curated guidance, technical tools and models, data resources, and case studies covering core aspects of air quality management—such as monitoring, emissions inventories, source attribution, health impact assessment, legal frameworks, and sector?specific mitigation in areas like transport, household energy, agriculture, and waste. The platform is aimed especially at low? and middle?income countries and is structured to help governments and practitioners design and implement strategies to meet WHO Air Quality Guidelines and interim targets.
The toxic flooding vulnerability map is an interactive tool that ranks and visualizes how vulnerable petrochemical facilities and nearby communities in the Galveston Bay region are to toxic flooding. Built from more than 100 indicators across flood risk, chemical transport, facility hazards, ecosystem conditions, baseline health, and social and economic factors, it produces separate vulnerability scores for facilities and for community grid cells. Users—such as planners, engineers, policymakers, and Gulf Coast residents—can explore overall vulnerability, drill down to see which specific indicators drive risk in each location, identify high?priority facilities and neighborhoods, and use downloadable profiles and map layers to help target nature?based solutions that reduce both flooding and chemical exposure.
