Understanding and Regulating the Risks from Air Toxics (August 2023) |
View More Information
|
Air toxics are those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects. Since the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA), there have been significant reductions in air toxics emissions and improvements in public health protection. The webinar will provide the latest information on air toxics risk-based programs.
This webinar will begin with an EPA representative’s overview of national Air Toxics Screen Assessment (AirToxScreen) that helps to identity pollutants, emission sources and places for further studies to better understand any possible risks to public health from air toxics. A brief overview of EPA’s proposal to amend the Air Emissions Reporting Rule will also be presented. Following EPA’s presentation, state representatives from MI and OR will present their respective state air toxics risk-based programs that include why they regulate air toxics, basis for the air toxics rules, how to implement air toxics programs, and lessons learned from their practices.

Three states leading in the implementation of Environmental Justice laws and policies will provide details of their progress to enhance programs to ensure equitable air permitting and development. Washington State’s Department of Ecology is implementing a new initiative aimed at expanding air quality monitoring and developing strategies to reduce criteria air pollution in overburdened communities. Leaders will share results and lessons learned from the early stages of this work. The Colorado legislature has made EJ a priority in state environmental programs through the Department of Public Health and Environment. A representative from the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division will review progress, including impacts to their air permitting process. New Jersey, the first state in the nation to require mandatory permit denials on the grounds of EJ, will discuss implementation of their laws and future enforcement goals.
