Knowing how to find and use relevant air quality data has proven to be a challenging barrier for data-informed legal action and clean air advocacy. To help address this challenge, EDF has created a central directory of both air pollutant emissions databases and associated tools.
This searchable, filterable database allows users to learn more about each database and tool. EDF developed this inventory in collaboration with partners and clean air advocates, prioritizing databases and tools that are the most user-friendly and relevant for advocacy.
Disclaimer: Some of the following datasets and tools are no longer available. See this page for a running list of data archives, backups, and workarounds.
Would you like to see a specific resource added to our directory? Please fill out this form or email us.
CLEAR Collaborative is working toward a healthier, more equitable future for communities on the frontlines of petrochemical pollution in Texas and Louisiana. We work to make sure that communities are equipped with the support and resources they need to hold polluters accountable and to secure a safe, thriving future for generations to come.
Last year, a chemical disaster happened nearly every day in the U.S.
It doesn't have to be this way. Stronger rules and better enforcement can help prevent toxic chemical pollution & protect our health so that all communities can thrive. @project_descend
"As the oil and gas industry tells it, they’re the economic bedrock of the communities across the country where they operate," @project_descend co-founders Jo and Joy Banner write. "But jobs should not come at the cost of our health and safety."
Health and Safety Risks Shouldn’t Be the Cost of Doing Business
Last year, a chemical disaster occurred nearly every day in the U.S. and existing rules are not rigorously enforced. We can do better.

WATCH: Texas has more chemical disasters than any other state, according to the chemical incident database from the Coalition to Prevent Chemical Disasters. @CamiL_Ferrell
