HEI's mobile air toxics project.

HEI's mobile air toxics project.

A recent report of the Health Effects Institute (HEI), Research Priorities for Mobile Air Toxics (1), provides information on research capable of narrowing uncertainties related to health effects of specific mobile-source air pollutants. The report, developed at a workshop in Monterey, California, 4-6 December 1992, provides research recommendations for four mobilesource toxic air pollutants sp...

Air Toxics Analysis — Particularly Metals

The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of particulate metal emissions in the USA. The analysis will identify natural and industrial sources, environmental standards, emission trends, and controls of particulate emissions. Since the majority of airborne metal emissions originate from metal industries and electric utility facilities, environmental and worker assessments of exposure...

An assessment of air toxics in Minnesota.

We used monitoring and modeling to assess the concentrations of air toxics in the state of Minnesota. Model-predicted concentrations for 148 hazardous air pollutants were from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Cumulative Exposure Project (1990 data). Monitoring data consisted of samples of volatile organic compounds, carbonyls, and particulate matter [Less than and equal to] 10 microm in...
