Air quality and pollution monitoring
Access real-time and historical air quality data for any location. Document pollution levels in communities near industrial sites, highways, or other emission sources to build the evidence base for environmental justice campaigns.
Get current air quality readings for zip codes 77011, 77012, and 77023 near the Houston Ship Channel. Show PM2.5, ozone, and NOx levels and compare to EPA standards.
Current readings: 77011 PM2.5 at 34 µg/m³ (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups — EPA limit 35 µg/m³). 77023 ozone at 74 ppb (above 70 ppb standard). Levels in these zip codes are 2.3x higher than the Houston average, consistent with proximity to Ship Channel industrial facilities.

Environmental policy research
Track environmental legislation, regulatory rulemakings, and agency decisions at the federal and state level. Stay ahead of policy changes that affect your campaigns and the communities you serve.
Research the status of EPA rulemaking on PFAS in drinking water, including the current regulatory standard, implementation timeline, and any legal challenges from industry.
EPA finalized the PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation in April 2024, setting MCLs at 4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS. Utilities must comply by 2029. Industry groups filed suit in June 2024 challenging the standard. 13 state AGs filed amicus briefs supporting EPA. Legal outcome expected late 2025.

Climate data visualization
Turn climate science data, emissions statistics, and environmental indicators into compelling visual arguments. Charts and data visualizations make complex environmental issues accessible to policymakers, journalists, and the public.
Create a line chart showing global mean temperature anomalies from 1880 to 2024 with a trendline highlighting accelerating warming since 1980.
Created a line chart showing temperature anomaly (°C vs. 1951-1980 baseline) from 1880-2024. Highlighted the 1980-2024 acceleration period in red. The 10 hottest years on record are all after 2010. 2024 was +1.35°C above baseline — the hottest year recorded.

Environmental justice research
Document the disproportionate environmental burdens borne by low-income communities and communities of color. Build the factual foundation for environmental justice campaigns with demographic, health, and pollution data.
Research environmental justice indicators in Cancer Alley, Louisiana. What are the demographic characteristics, cancer incidence rates, industrial facility density, and regulatory enforcement history?
Cancer Alley (St. James/Ascension parishes): 56% Black population vs. 33% statewide. 12 petrochemical facilities in a 30-mile corridor. Age-adjusted cancer mortality 26% above state average. EPA enforcement: 14 significant violations in past 5 years, with 2 formal enforcement actions. 2 pending permits currently under EJ review.

Conservation campaign communications
Create compelling communications that motivate people to take action on conservation and climate issues. Move your audience from awareness to action with well-crafted, emotionally resonant content.
Write a social media campaign with 5 posts for a week of action on protecting old-growth forests from logging in the Pacific Northwest. Each post should build toward a petition signing action.
Created a 5-post campaign arc: Day 1 (hook): stunning old-growth forest fact. Day 2 (problem): what we lose when old-growth falls. Day 3 (solution): what protection looks like. Day 4 (urgency): the logging decision is coming. Day 5 (action): sign the petition today. Each post includes caption, hashtags, and image direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can AI help me document environmental pollution in a community?
Air Quality provides real-time AQI, PM2.5, ozone, and other pollutant readings for any location. This lets you document current conditions near industrial facilities, highways, or environmental hazard sites. Pair this with Deep Research to compile historical data and regulatory violation records.
Can AI help me track environmental regulations and policy changes?
Deep Research pulls the current status of specific rulemakings, regulations, and legislation including agency deadlines, comment periods, and legal challenges. News monitors ongoing coverage so you can respond rapidly when a relevant policy decision is announced.
How do I use AI to build the evidence base for an environmental justice campaign?
Start with Air Quality for current pollution data, then use Deep Research to compile demographic information, regulatory history, and enforcement records for the affected community. Academic Research finds peer-reviewed health impact studies. Together these create a rigorous, citation-backed evidence foundation.
Can AI help me write public comments on environmental regulatory proposals?
Content Repurposer can draft public comments on EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, and other agency rulemaking proposals when you provide the key concerns, factual evidence, and specific regulatory changes you support or oppose. Always review for accuracy and add organization-specific examples before submitting.
What AI tools are best for creating climate advocacy content?
Social Media Content generates platform-native campaign posts, calls to action, and petition drives. Content Repurposer creates op-eds, fact sheets, press releases, and longer-form advocacy materials. Generate Chart turns climate data into compelling visual arguments.
