Learn about TRACER

TRACER is a collaborative modeling framework developed by The University of Texas at Austin and George Mason University, with funding from the Health Effects Institute Energy (HEI Energy).


TRACER integrates emissions, air quality, and exposure models to evaluate how pollutants from energy and industrial sources impact communities—providing data-driven insights that support research, policy, and public health.
