This layer displays the locations of regulated facilities that discharge air pollutants in the United States. The Air Facility System (AFS) contains compliance and permit data for stationary sources of air pollution (such as electric power plants, steel mills, factories, … Continued
This layer displays the locations of air quality monitoring stations in the United States. The Air Quality System (AQS) contains ambient air pollution data collected by EPA, state, Local, and tribal air pollution control agencies from thousands of monitoring stations. … Continued
This layer displays the locations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) sites. ACRES stores information reported by EPA Brownfields grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding as well … Continued
This layer displays the daily average concentration of fine particulate matter and the percentage of days with concentrations of fine particulate matter above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 35.0 micrograms per cubic meter in 2016.
This layer displays the daily average concentration of ozone and the percentage of days with concentrations of ozone above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 0.075 parts per million in 2015.
Layer displays the modeled cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. Figures represents the likelihood of hazardous exposure per 1 million population.
Layer displays the modeled non-cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. A hazard index (HI) of 1 or lower means air toxics are unlikely to cause adverse noncancer health effects over a lifetime of exposure.
The lead paint indicator is the percentage of occupied housing units built before 1960, calculated from the U.S. Census Bureau’s ACS 5-year summary estimates on age of housing stock. EJScreen uses age of housing stock as a surrogate for potential … Continued
The traffic proximity indicator is based on AADT count divided by distance in meters from the Census block centroid. The proximity score is based on the traffic within a search radius of 500 meters (or further if none is found … Continued
The PM 2.5 indicator is a measure of potential exposure to inhalable particles that are 2.5 micrometers or smaller. This is measured in terms of annual average concentration in air measured in micrograms per cubic meter. PM 2.5 information included … Continued
