Air/Superfund National Technical Guidance Study Series: Estimation of air impacts from area sources of particulate matter emissions at superfund sites

Technical Report · Thu Apr 01 04:00:00 EST 1993

OSTI ID:6089557

Eklund, B; Thompson, C; Mischler, S

The report provides procedures for estimating the ambient air concentrations associated with emissions of particulate matter from soils handling operations at Superfund sites. Materials handling operations are necessary at any site where ex-situ treatment is performed. In addition, soils handling operations, such as excavation or grading, are frequently performed as part of site preparation. Procedures are given to evaluate the effect of the handling rate and contaminant concentration on the emission rates and on the ambient air concentrations at selected distances from the treatment area. Health-based ambient air action levels are also provided for comparison to the estimated ambient concentrations.
