RFA: Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Research Center (NUATRC) (1997)
Research Category: Targeted Research
Description:
Objective:The RIOPA study was funded by the NUATRC in response to RFA 96-01. The project is comprised of three studies initially independently funded:
- A study funded by NUATRC with Dr. Clifford Weisel at Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) as principal investigator;
- A study funded by HEI with Dr. Jim Zhang of EOHSI as principal investigator; and
- A study funded by HEI with Dr. Barbara Turpin of Rutgers University as principal investigator.
Because the two HEI studies complemented and added to the initial study funded by NUATRC, both organizations have treated the three studies as one so that the results can be reported in a coherent manner.
The overall objectives of the RIOPA study were:
- Investigate the relationships of indoor, outdoor, and personal air concentrations of VOCs, carbonyl compounds, and PM2.5, and in-vehicle concentrations of carbonyl compounds.
- Quantify the outdoor contribution to indoor and personal air concentrations of the measured pollutants.
A secondary objective of the study was to make paired measurements in the adults and children to determine whether air toxic exposure estimates of adults could be used for children.
The specific aims of the study were to:
- Compare indoor, outdoor, and personal air (and in-vehicle for carbonyl compounds) concentrations of the pollutants measured in the RIOPA.
- Examine the effects of a number of variables (e.g., season, house type, city/state) on measured concentrations and indoor/outdoor relationships.
- Quantify the contribution of outdoor sources to indoor concentrations of the measured pollutants.
The Results of the Study are presented in two reports. Report #2 is on the : “Contributions of Outdoor PM sources to Indoor and Personal Exposures: Analysis of PM species concentrations” focused on the PM speciation and apportioning of sources.
A draft final report was received in February 2004. The report was reviewed by a team of external peer-reviewers and the HEI-NUATRC Special Review Panel. The panel members suggested revisions to the report that included additional analysis, clarification of certain issues, and organization of the report. A revised final report was received in December 2004. The report was being reviewed by the HEI-NUATRC Special Review Panel and has been approved for publication with minor revisions.
The HEI-NUATRC Special Review Panel commentary on the report has been approved. The report is expected to be published in February 2007.
Future Activities:Part II of the RIOPA Research Report is expected to be published in February 2007.
