Description: To examine the air quality in metropolitan subway systems in the United States, investigators collected air samples from 71 stations across 12 transit lines in New York City (NYC), Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC during rush-hour periods. Samples of particulate matter (PM) and black carbon (BC) were collected from the Philadelphia transit system in 2015; all others were collected between June...

Description: To study emissions from mobile food carts in New York City, investigators sampled the air quality around 19 food carts which used propane, charcoal, or a combination of propane and charcoal as cooking fuels. Food cart emissions were compared to air sampling at control sites located upwind and at least 100 meters away from the food carts under study. The study data includes real-time concentrations...

Generation R Study Group
Description: Generation R is an ongoing prospective cohort study of child development from the prenatal period through young adulthood in a multi-ethnic population recruited from the Rotterdam, Netherlands metropolitan area. The study enrolled 9,778 mothers with a delivery date between April 2002 and January 2006; they had 9,749 live births. The primary objective of the study is to identify early environmental...

Description: These data contain information on chemicals released in to the air from burn pits in Iraq (waste disposal areas for US military bases) and the 2023 Ohio train derailment in East Palestine. The goals of the study were to 1) predict the effects of exposure to these chemicals on the ocular surface and 2) to call attention to the relationship between environmental events and long-term damage to the surface...

Description: This dataset contains information about annual estimates of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and trends beginning in 1998. PM2.5 refers to airborne particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter; comprises several chemical and particulate constituents, including nitrate, ammonium, elemental carbons, organic carbons, silicon and sodium ions and dust, and originates from a variety of sources,...

Alternate Title(s): MERRA-2
Description: This dataset contains information from The Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2), which provides global modeling data beginning in 1980. MERRA-2 builds upon the original MERRA project's two primary goals: to place NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) satellite observations in a climate context and to improve the representation of the atmospheric branch...

Description: This dataset contains daily global gridded (0.25 x 0.25) Nitrogen Dioxide Product (OMNO2d) concentrations. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is produced in the troposphere, where it is a precursor to ozone production, and plays a key role in ozone chemistry in the stratosphere; it is also an indicator of poor air quality. These data, which are derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard NASA’s Earth...
