Tijeras Air Toxics Monitoring and Assessment Project


Printer-friendly version

The primary goal of the Tijeras project is to determine whether air toxics and PM are causing health problems on an elementary/middle school campus. The campus is located in a narrow valley, in close proximity to a cement plant, as well as a major freeway with heavy diesel truck traffic. This project will enable the City of Albuquerque's Environmental Health Department to monitor for HAP and PM.

1. How is this project best classified?


2. How are the assessment results summarized?

Other

3. What risk types or hazards are considered in the project?


4. List any additional features that describe the scope of the project.


5. Is the risk assessment done for an individual source (e.g., a permitted source) or for multiple sources in the area?


6. Which pollutants are assessed?

6.a. Are they assessed individually, or on a cumulative basis?

6.c. Additional Comments:

7. Does the project consider ambient/background concentrations in determining exposure?


8. What conservative assumptions are made?

9. What "best estimate" assumptions are made?

10. What cancer and non-cancer toxicity dose response values are used? Do they differ from the EPA IRIS values? What is the data source for these values?


11. What assumptions are made when a match from chemical emitted to toxicity value is not exact?


12. What is the basis for emission estimates used in the project -- actual or allowable?


13. What exposure pathways are assessed?


14. What assumptions are made in considering exposure pathways?


15. For inhalation exposure assessments, is exposure modeling conducted (i.e., consideration of changes in pollutant inhalation concentrations in different locations frequented at different times by populations of interest)? Or is there an assumption of continuous exposure to outdoor air over a certain time period?


16. Describe the peer review process for the study, if any.
