🔎 Explore the data — make connections & hold sources accountable
These tools tie your air readings to what's around them — nearby pollution sources, abandoned gas wells, and how our community sensors stack up against EPA's regulatory monitors. This is context and a place to look, not proof any one source caused a reading.
Around a pollution source — nearest sensors by distance & direction
rings: 1 & 3 mi
Near-field <1 mi = clearest signal for ground-level/fugitive emissions · vicinity 1–3 mi ·
tall stacks (power plants) can peak 1–10 mi downwind, so wind direction matters as much as distance
(how we handle this).

🛢️ Abandoned wells near our VOC sensors
Abandoned & orphaned gas wells can vent natural gas and
hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Our community sensors' VOC reading is a relative gas-response index
(it responds to hydrocarbons and H2S, but it is not an H2S monitor). This lines up each sensor's
VOC with the abandoned wells around it — context and a place to look, not proof any well caused a
reading. Sorted by nearby wells.
