How this service works
EPA National Emissions Inventory facility and pollutant rows near an address. Perfect for: environmental diligence, facility emissions research, per-pollutant tonnage, and distance-ranked industrial context. Summary is bounded; detailLevel=full returns the large facility-pollutant matrix. Periodic inventory estimates only, not monitoring, ambient concentration, exposure, health evidence, or a burden score. Charge-free when no facility rows resolve.
Output
A JSON object containing a report ID, a list of nearby NEI emissions records (facilities, pollutants, quantities), caveats about data completeness, and a timestamp of when the report was generated. At summary level, records may be condensed; full detail provides itemized emissions data.
Example use cases
Pre-purchase environmental due diligence
“I'm thinking about buying a house at 882 Maple Drive, Houston, TX — can you check for any nearby industrial emissions sources within 1,500 meters using the full detail report so I know if there are pollution risks?”
Neighborhood air quality research
“I'm researching air quality concerns for residents near 200 Industrial Blvd, Newark, NJ — pull the NEI emissions data within 5,000 meters and give me a summary of what's reported.”
Commercial site screening for environmental liability
“Before we sign the lease on a warehouse at 3300 Harbor Rd, Long Beach, CA, can you scan for any nearby emissions sources within 2,500 meters? I need the full detail so we can flag any environmental liability issues.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-nei-emissions-nearbyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to identify industrial or commercial emissions sources near a specific property or address using EPA National Emissions Inventory data. Prefer this over generic environmental APIs when you want structured, location-scoped NEI records with configurable radius and detail level for real estate due diligence, environmental risk assessment, or neighborhood research. Best when you have a specific address or coordinates and need a fast, low-cost public-record scan.
Side effects
- Address not geocodable — returns empty records or error if address cannot be resolved
- No emissions sources found within radius — returns empty records array with caveats
- Radius out of bounds (below 500m or above 25,000m) — validation error
- Reporting year must be exactly 2023 — any other value rejected
- Missing both address and lat/lon — request fails validation
- Service unavailable or upstream NEI data not accessible — server error
