Understanding Air Pollution: How to Get the Facts You Need

The Environmental Health Project (EHP) will share resources and tools that can help communities to better understand the impacts that oil and gas facilities, such as compressor stations and gas-fired power plants, have on local air quality and health. EHP staff will show attendees step-by-step how to use the following tools: Compounds of Concern:a searchable, interactive database of the symptoms and health impacts associated with chemical compounds commonly found in industrial air pollution. This tool can help those living near polluting facilities to understand what compound(s) may be causing their individual health symptoms, and to help advocates understand the health risks linked to air pollutants emitted from facilities.AirView Public:a free tool that displays and analyzes data from community air monitoring projects. It allows the public to explore air quality readings in their community, identify pollution events, and see whether pollution events are widespread or local. It can help users understand whether a health event like a headache or asthma attack happened during a time of poor air quality. It can also help users see the impact of industrial activity they notice in their community.EHP is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit that defends public health in the face of oil and gas development in the Appalachian and Northeast regions of the United States.
