This layer displays the percentage of days (in a single year) with the concetration of fine particulate matter (fine particles 2.5 micrometers or less) above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 35.0 micrograms per cubic meter.
Days Exceeding NAAQ Standards for Ozone
This layer displays the percentage of days (in a single year) with the maximum 8-hour average ozone concetration above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 0.070 parts per million.
Brownfield Sites
Layer displays the locations of brownfield sites based on the September 2013 version of the EPA Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) database.
Toxic Release Inventory by County
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 environment. Facilities must report how each chemical is managed through recycling, energy recovery, treatment, and releases to the environment. A “release” of a chemical means that it is emitted to the air or water, or placed in some type of land disposal. The information submitted by facilities to the EPA and states is compiled annually as the Toxics Release Inventory or TRI, and is stored in a publicly accessible database ( Envirofacts. For more information, please visit the EPA Toxics Release Inventory web page.
Air Quality – Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) by Census Tract, 2012
This layer displays the percentage of days with concentrations of ozone matter above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 35.0 micrograms per cubic meter.
Air Toxics – Cancer Risk by Census Tract
Layer displays the modeled cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. Figures represents the likelihood of hazardous exposure per 1 million population.
Air Quality – Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) by Census Tract, 2014
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 2014.
Air Quality – Ozone Levels (O3) by Census Tract, 2014
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 2014.
Air Toxics – Non-Cancer Risk by Census Tract
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.
Air Toxics – Cancer Risk by Census Tract
Layer displays the modeled cancer risk associated with air toxics exposure. Figures represents the likelihood of hazardous exposure per 1 million population.
