If operation ran continuously at 448 gms/hr for January, monthly emissions would be 448 g/hr * 24hrs * 31 days =333,312 gms for Jan
Calculate a January factor = 62720 actual/333, 312 if continuous = 0.2
Preliminary Modeling Results
I Maximum annual average concentrations calculated as 0.74 ug/m3
I Point of maximum concentration at Northeastern boundary of site (on property line)
I Assumed no rain cap
Screening Values
I Screening level used at US plant site for permit compliance = 1 ug/m3
I Represents reference concentration for inhalation health protection
I Developed by team of independent toxicologists in 2002

Community Exposure Guideline (CEG)
In the early 1990's DuPont established a Community Exposure Guideline (CEG) of 0.3 ugyWfor the inhalation pathway.
I A CEG is an exposure guideline established by DuPont's Haskell Laboratory.
I The CEG assumes a 24-hour lifetime exposure by all, including the most sensitive individuals, in an exposed community population.
I Exposure above the CEG will not necessarily result in any adverse effects.
