The lead paint indicator is the percentage of occupied housing units built before 1960, calculated from the U.S. Census Bureau’s ACS 5-year summary estimates on age of housing stock. EJScreen uses age of housing stock as a surrogate for potential … Continued
The Superfund proximity indicator is reflective of the total count of sites proposed and listed (final) on the National Priorities List (NPL) in each block group within 5 km of the average resident in a block group, divided by distance, … Continued
The RMP facility proximity is reflective of the total count of RMP facilities in each block group within 5 km of the average resident in a block group, divided by distance, calculated as the population-weighted average of blocks in each … Continued
The PM 2.5 indicator is a measure of potential exposure to inhalable particles that are 2.5 micrometers or smaller. This is measured in terms of annual average concentration in air measured in micrograms per cubic meter. PM 2.5 information included … Continued
The ozone indicator in EJScreen reflects potential ozone exposure measured in terms of summer seasonal daily average maximum concentrations in an 8-hour period measured in parts per billion. Ozone information included in EJScreen highlights areas across the U.S. that are … Continued
Layer displays the modelled cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. Figures represents the liklihood of hazardous exposure per 1 million population.
Layer displays the modelled non-cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. A hazard index (HI) of 1 or lower means air toxics are unlikely to cause adverse noncancer health effects over a lifetime of exposure.
Layer displays the locations of brownfield sites based on the September 2013 version of the EPA Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) database.
This layer displays RSEI score by county. A RSEI Score is a unitless value that accounts for the size of the chemical release, the fate and transport of the chemical through the environment, the size and location of the exposed … Continued
