Curious to learn more about pollution in your area? With Climate TRACE’s new pollution plume tool, it’s easier than ever to identify emissions sources near you and see their impact on surrounding areas.
I've played around with it, and while data quality for very small operations is poor, it is very useful for examining major sources. the "Plumes" visualization is esp. useful.
Check it out here:
