EPA released the ECHO Clean Air Tracking Tool (ECATT), which allows users to access Air Monitoring Station (AMS) data on ambient and outdoor air pollution, as well as emissions data from stationary sources regulated under the Clean Air Act. The AMS can be used to identify areas with high pollutant concentrations and high potential for health impacts. The AMS search also includes the AirToxScreen to allow for users to identify areas with elevated cancer risks or other health impacts. The Tool includes EJ data from EPA’s EJSCREEN, allowing users to search for facilities based on the surrounding community’s EJ Index and demographic information.
