  • How often are the NEI data updated and how frequently are the data published?

    The full NEI is created for every third inventory year (e.g., 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2017). The data for each version has been updated two times each for the 2008, 2011, and 2014 NEI cycles. For the 2017 NEI and beyond, the EPA is trying to publish only a single…

  • What are the units of NEI emissions data?

    NEI emissions values represent total annual emissions for the inventory reporting year. Criteria air pollutants and precursors (CAPs) are reported in short tons per year, and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are reported in lbs per year.

  • Where can I download hourly emissions data from continuous monitoring?

    Hourly emissions data files are available from the Clean Air Markets Division of EPA, collected as part of 40 CFR Part 75. The download location has changed in February, 2023. The new location is https://campd.epa.gov/data/bulk-data-files. Once on this new site, use the menu (at the left) and the Keyword search…

  • Where can I get maps and/or emissions of facility emissions data?

    The EPA provides emissions maps in two ways. First, each of the last three NEI years has a “Facility Mapping” tab available on the main NEI page for that inventory year (for example, see the 2020 NEI page). With this tool, maps can be created for one state at a…

  • How are Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) defined in the NEI?

    For all source categories, NOx is compiled from emissions measurements that express NOx mass based on the molecular weight of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is 46. Even though emission streams initially consist mainly of NO from most sources, this expression of NOx by NO2 MW is appropriate due to the…
