Philadelphia_Air_Emissions_Map.htmlin any web browser (double-click it) - Use the Year & Pollutants panel (top right) to:
- Select a year from 2010 to 2023
- Check/uncheck pollutants: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Biogenic CO₂
- Click any circle on the map to see the facility name and emission amount
- Use the Emission Rank legend (bottom left) to interpret colors — collapse it when you want a cleaner view
- 2010–2019: Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) Air Information Management System (AIMS)
- 2020–2023: Estimated from EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) trends
- 2020 data reflects the closure of the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery (June 2019 fire) and COVID-19 impacts
Colors are assigned by emission rank within the selected year — not by fixed thresholds — so the highest emitter is always darkred regardless of the year.
| Color | Rank |
|---|---|
| 🔴 Dark Red | Highest emitters |
| 🔴 Red | Very high |
| 🟠 Orange | High |
| 🩷 Pink | Moderate |
| 🟤 Beige | Low-moderate |
| ⚫ Gray | Low |
| ⚪ Light Gray | Very low |
| ⚫ Black | Lowest emitters |
The original notebook was created as part of the Eng WINS program at Drexel University (2021), focusing on CO₂ emissions in Philadelphia County for 2019.
