Potential health effects of air toxics are a major concern to the public. In recent years, air toxic emissions have become the focus of several regulations in California. Routine releases of air toxics are regulated by the Air Toxics Hot Spots information and Assessment Act of 1987, commonly known as AB 2588, which established in California a statewide program for the inventory of air toxics emissions from individual facilities as well as requirements for risk assessment and public notification of potential health risks. Facilities that handle acutely hazardous chemicals are required to prepare a risk management and prevention plan (RMPP) which must include a consequence analysis of offsite risk due to their accidental releases. This paper summarizes the air toxics regulations of California. For a facility subject to these regulations, extensive information on facility emissions and potential health risks are required. The paper also describes a PC-based integrated modeling system designed to facilitate the compliance with all requirements of emissions inventory, dispersion modeling, risk assessment and reporting set forth in these regulations.
