If North Carolina has the strictest air quality standards for TDI emissions in the nation, why was this state chosen for the study when TDI emissions are higher in other states?
NC does in fact have the most strict air quality standard for TDI emissions in the nation (tied with New Hampshire). Other states such as Michigan, Vermont and Washington have similar, but slightly less demanding, standards. When ATSDR announced funds available for this study North Carolina Division of Public Health submitted a proposal. The North Carolina Division of Public Health explained that they did not seek out foam manufacturers. They considered all NC companies that reported emitting TDI into the air and used those that had the highest average TDI emissions reported from 1998 through 2004 . It should be noted that all the TDI emissions reported from 19982004, for all industrial TDI users in North Carolina , were in full compliance with state emissions standards.
