Description

Ongoing review of modeled air toxics concentrations and risk estimates for possible associated health impacts in the U.S. (cancer and non-cancer).

Potential Uses
• Find modeled concentrations of specific chemicals
• Find associated risk for a chemical
Limitations
Assumptions made mean that AirToxScreen can’t give precise exposures and risks for a specific person. AirToxScreen results are best applied to larger areas – counties, states and the nation. Generally underestimates risk. The most detailed version of the data can be difficult to access.
