Air Toxics Hot Spots
The Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act (AB 2588, Connelly) was enacted in 1987, and requires stationary sources of pollutants to report the types and quantities of certain substances routinely released into the air. The goals of the Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Act are to collect emission data, to identify facilities having localized impacts, to ascertain health risks, to notify nearby residents of significant risks, and to reduce those significant risks to acceptable levels.
Guideline Values for Health Risk Assessment
- Hot Spots Unit Risk and Cancer Potency Values
- Acute, 8-hour, and Chronic Reference Exposure Level (RELs)
