Why Do We Monitor Ambient Air?
• Protect the public from elevated levels of air pollution.
• Identify and quantify what pollutants types are out there.
• To compare Albuquerque air quality to the National and State Standards.
• Preserve GOOD air quality.

June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air
• 3 tethered O3 (Ozonesondes) (continuous measurements of ozone),
• a Nephelometer (TSI, Model 8520), • ppb RAE plus (total VOCs measurements), &

21
Receptor Modeling
• DRI will use US EPA’s Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to conduct a source apportionment study of particulate matter, aerosol characterization, and carbon analyses.
• DRI will use US EPA approved air transport and regional models to determine inter and intra-valley wind flow patterns.
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air
Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas
22
Exposure and Risk Evaluation
• Use US EPA’s HAPEM5 model to estimate personal exposure.
• Use the US Census’ Bureau for population demographics.
• Use US EPA’s TRIM.expo module will be used to assess inhalation risks. Other risk assessment tools will be used to assess the risk of long-term exposure to HAPs.
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air
Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas
23
Exposure and Risk Evaluation
• Use US EPA’s TRIM.Risk module will be used to join the information on exposure with a dose-response module.
• Use of these tools will provide a first-order estimate of inhalation cancer risks and non-cancer hazard indices at both the individual and population level.

24
Project Status
• US EPA approved The Air Quality Division’s Quality Assurance Project Plan
• Executed Inter-Governmental Cooperative Agreements with State of New Mexico and University of Nevada (DRI). In final approval stage.
