Airhead, a project of the Center for Neighborhood Technology, is designed to help people reduce the air pollution impacts of their daily activities. The website includes an emissions calculator that helps to identify and track the air pollution created by people's acitivites, and a product search that shows the relative air pollution impacts of a variety of consumer products.

The Air Quality System (AQS) is a technical area website that contains ambient air pollution data collected by EPA, state, local, and tribal air pollution control agencies from thousands of monitoring stations. AQS users rely upon the system data to assess air quality, assist in Attainment/Non-Attainment designations, evaluate State Implementation Plans for Non-Attainment Areas, perform modeling for permit review analysis, and other air quality management functions.   

The American Lung Association website includes air quality fact sheets, special reports, information on indoor and outdoor air pollution, current news, and tips on how to protect yourself from air pollution.

Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center is the primary global-change data and information analysis center of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and provides information on carbon dioxide concentrations and effects.

Center for Air Pollution Impact and Trend Analysis (CAPITA) is based in the School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. CAPITA does air quality-related research, hosts the web domains for several organizations, and disseminates data, reports and software.

Center for Clean Air Policy seeks to promote and implement innovative solutions to major environmental and energy problems that balance both environmental and economic interests. They offer publications and a program directed at air quality.

Chicago Climate Exchange is a self-regulatory exchange that administers the world's first multi-national and multi-sector marketplace for reducing and trading greenhouse gas emissions.

Clean Air Council is a member-supported, non-profit environmental organization dedicated to protecting everyone's right to breathe clean air. The Council works through public education, community advocacy, and government oversight to ensure enforcement of environmental laws. The Council runs a "Clean Air Bank" that retires industrial emissions.

Clean Air World is the website of STAPPA and ALAPCO, the two national associations of state and local air pollution control agencies in the United States. The Topics section of the site provides information on a wide range of environmental topics related to all aspects of air pollution.

DOE's Clean Cities Program supports public-private partnerships that deploy alternative fuel vehicles and build supporting alternative fuel infrastructure.

EPA' s Community-Based Environmental Protection tailors environmental programs to address the problems of a particular place, such as a watershed, airshed, or ecosystem. 

The Clean Air Technology Center of EPA's Technology Transfer Network provides technical support and assistance in evaluating air pollution problems and pollution prevention and control techniques for stationary air pollution sources. 

Earth 911 seeks to empower communities to protect their local environment. Its website includes a section on Air Pollution Prevention as well as a list of 50 tips for cleaner air.

EPA's Emission Factor and Inventory Group provides technical assistance to state and local governments in the monitoring and analysis of air pollution sources.

EnviroInfo: Air Pollution offers extensive links to world, United States, and local sources of information on pollution prevention and clean technology.

There are several regional agencies and organizations promoting clean air that offer useful references and models. Some examples are Clean Air Action in the Houston-Galveston area, Partners for Clean Air in the Chicago-northwestern Indiana area, and The Clean Air Campaign in Atlanta.
