Growing interest concerning long term population exposures to toxic gaseous compounds prompted the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to implement various programs in 1985. Among these programs was a commitment to augment the efforts of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in the community air monitoring of gaseous toxic or suspected toxic compounds. The toxics data that is gathered will be directly used for population risk assessments and establishment of community trend studies. This monitoring program is discussed in this paper.
