This layer displays the amount of toxic releases based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), a national program which tracks the management of over 650 toxic chemicals that pose a threat to human health and the … Continued
This layer displays the daily average concentration of ozone and the percentage of days with concentrations of ozone above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 0.075 parts per million in 2015.
This layer displays the daily average concentration of fine particulate matter and the percentage of days with concentrations of fine particulate matter above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 35.0 micrograms per cubic meter in 2016.
Layer displays the modeled cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. Figures represents the likelihood of hazardous exposure per 1 million population.
Layer displays the modeled 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.
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 hazardous waste proximity indicator is reflective of the total count of hazardous waste 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 … Continued
