USEFUL WEBSITES

 

-----  1. AIR POLLUTION -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calibrate your eyeballs with this video from the California Air Resources Board. 

How bad do you think urban air quality would be if we didn’t have emissions controls in place?

Photochemical “smog” was an extreme problem for Los Angeles in the 1940’s.  Could you live in a place where the air was so bad it hurt your eyes!

LA Pollution Video

 

This EPA website is a good place for information on air pollution.

EPA Office of Air & Radiation

 

This website shows current air pollution levels in the US

EPA Air Now

 

 

-----  2. ENERGY INFORMATION ------------------------------------------------------------------

National fuel consumption and pricing – know how the nation is powered

Energy Information Agency

 

 

----- 3. PHYSICAL DATA  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use this link to find the temperature and pressure at different altitudes.

US Standard Atmosphere

 

 

------  4. REGIONAL CHEMICAL FORECASTING --------------------------------------------

This website displays data from a chemical forecast model for our region. 

Pacific Northwest Chemical Forecast (AIRPACT-3)

 

 

------ 5. GLOBAL MONITORING -------------------------------------------------------------------

 

MODIS  satellite views of the ocean, land, and atmosphere

NOAA Earth Systems Lab    ozone hole movies and global pollutant concentrations
