Air District Fact

The San Francisco Bay Area's Air Toxics Program integrates federal and state air toxics mandates with local goals that have been established by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Board of Directors. The Program consists of several elements that are designed to identify and reduce public exposure to toxic air contaminants (TACs).

Toxics Modeling

To support the Community Air Risk Evaluation (CARE) program, staff conducted regional toxics modeling using the CAMx model. In this effort, the 2005 emissions inventory developed for the CARE program was used, meteorology was simulated using the MM5 model, and the CAMx model was applied to simulate toxics concentrations. Two different horizontal grid spacing were utilized, 1 and 4 km. The modeling results, along with exposure analysis, have been summarized in a report.

Preliminary toxics modeling report

Staff also conducted toxics modeling using future year (2015) toxics emission estimates. The meteorological inputs and air quality model used were the same as in the 2005 modeling effort described above. A report detailing the modeling inputs and discussing the results is available.
