摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released to the public the results of a modeling estimate of risk due to exposure to hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). EPA has compared modeled concentrations to cancer risk and chronic toxicity benchmarks in the Cumulative Exposure Project (CEP). Stated uses of the model-estimated concentrations include: identifying priority HAPs for further attention; estimating the relative contributions of broad categories of emission sources to HAP concentrations; characterizing potential public health implications of air toxics by comparing modeled concentrations to health benchmark concentrations; and characterizing the relationship between geographic distributions of modeled air toxic concentrations and demographic variables (i.e., environmental justice issues). Sonoma Technology, Inc. (STI) performed a technical review of the air toxics modeling conducted under the CEP and compared model-estimated concentrations with ambient concentrations in three Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Association (MARAMA) areas to provide some "ground truth" to the modeled concentrations. This paper will discuss the uncertainties in the model, the model applicability at the census tract level, and the comparison of model estimates with ambient data. Given the disparity between the base year for the ambient data and the model estimates, these comparisons were intended to illustrate the types of analyses that should be performed when the model-estimates are available using the 1996 inventories. The comparison results also can be used as a general guideline to the types of uncertainties and potential problems in the modeling.
