The overall objectives of the Urban Community Air Toxics Monitoring Project, Paterson City,NJ, (UCAMPP) was to provide information and develop tools and methods so that the NJDEP and communities can better address exposure and risk issues related to air toxics through thecharacterization of local air associated with different land use patterns in a highly industrialized urban community. Three air monitoring stations were set up on the rooftops of three buildings in Paterson, with the aim of capturing industrial, commercial and mobile source-dominatedemissions over the course of one year. The background monitoring site was located ~45 km WSW of Paterson in Chester, NJ. Descriptive and comparative statistics were computed. Comparative statistics looked fordifferences between; Paterson, an urban community, and the NJDEP rural background site in Chester, NJ; weekdays vs. weekends; the three sites in Paterson; and the seasons. UCAMPP provided an excellent opportunity to gather information and determine whichtools and resources are most valuable for community based air toxics projects. These tools willassist NJDEP, USEPA and other state and local governments in refining the scope of suchprojects to better utilize existing resources and expertise. |
