What air quality issues are not addressed in the AERA?
The AERA does not generally evaluate the following: • Chemicals lacking approved inhalation health benchmarks • Chemicals lacking emission estimates or emission factors, • Ecological risks from air emissions, • Dioxin/furan/polychlorinated biphenyls ingestion of breast milk by infants, • Accidental releases and start-up/shut-down conditions, • Lead risk assessment using multiple pathway exposure model (IEUBK), • Traffic emissions not addressed by environmental review methods, • Emergency generator emissions, • Fine particles and risks from criteria pollutants, • Multimedia chemicals with oral toxicity values but no inhalation health benchmarks, • Visibility impacts from a facility, and • Carbon dioxide emissions and Climate Change.
