SOURCE-SPECIFIC CANCER RISK INFORMATION FROM THE EPA
OFFICE OF AIR AND RADIATION
AIR TOXICS EXPOSURE AND RISK INFORMATION SYSTEM (ATERIS)
PROVIDED TO REP. HENRY A. WAXMAN, MAY 26, 1989
The information in the attached tables has been extracted from an internal
Agency data base known as the Air Toxics Exposure and Risk Information System
(ATERIS). The ATERIS contains information generated from assessments of
potentially toxic air pollutants performed by the Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards (OAQPS). The data are provided as disaggregated cancer
risk estimates for individual facilities, however, the preliminary nature of
many of the cancer risk estimates in this internal working data base must be
stressed as well as the fact that these data are not relied on as credible
estimates of risk for individual sources. Despite the inherent uncertainties
in such assessments, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not take
the estimation of cancer risk lightly. In addition to our own regulatory
development activities, we have shared this information with our Regional
Offices and State and local air agencies and are working together with these
organizations to improve our estimates and identify further opportunities to
reduce public health risks, in accordance with our air toxics strategy.
With respect to the estimates themselves, you should be aware that OAQPS
employs a tiered approach in which preliminary assessments are replaced by
assessments of increasing detail as a pollutant or source category moves
through the process. In the initial tiers of these analyses, readily
available information that may not be source specific is used to roughly
estimate the potential magnitude of public health risk to aid in determining
whether further assessment is warranted. Often, data on individual sources in
a category may not be available and analytical assumptions are necessary to
permit nationwide assessment of source categories. Such assumptions are
generally of a conservative nature to reduce the likelihood of inadvertently
omitting from further consideration sources that could pose public health
risks. Preliminary assessment, then, while providing a useful first
approximation of source category impacts, may be subject to significant error
at both the individual source and source category levels. In the higher tiers
of the assessment process, better information on speciffc sources is often
collected under the authority of Section 114 of the Clean Air Act which
results in more reliable estimates for individual sources.

JUN -5 '89 16:46 FROM OfiQPS. DURHflM, NC TO RO 10 PftGE.003
The ATERIS contains data from all stages of air toxics analyses from the
very preliminary to the more detailed analyses. Often these data are not
comparable because of differences in the quality of the.data and method of
assessment. The ATERIS was originally designed as an archive and retrieval
system for use by EPA risk analysts to facilitate characterization studies and
aggregate analyses. The data base also has been used as a means of
identifying candidate sources for further assessment by EPA as well as State
and local air pollution agencies. Because of the variable quality of the
data, however, the ATERIS has not been used to rank individual sources for
regulatory purposes, nor is it considered an authoritative source for verified
estimates of risk attributable to individual point sources. While the data
stored in ATERIS are periodically updated on a voluntary basis by program
project officers, this year's data entry and update are not yet complete.
The question has been asked whether the number of "high-risk plants"
identified from the ATERIS would increase if a more comprehensive data base
were employed. While we are aware of several notable omissions from the
current data base (e.g., benzene sources and coke ovens), a more complete data
base would not necessarily increase the number of potential high risk
facilities in ATERIS. It is likely that a more comprehensive data base would
include better data on the facilities already identified in ATERIS.
Currently, the Agency is not aware of other comparable sources of plant
specific risk information. Although the universe of potential high risk point
sources may be larger then the population presently identified in the ATERIS,
based on information presently available, it is not possible to estimate with
any certainty the total number of such sources that may .exist or, more
importantly, the associated health risks.
In addition, it is noteworthy that the data reported in ATERIS were
gathered prior to the availability of the Superfund Section 313 air toxics
emissions data. Subsequent to the release of the Section 313 emissions
inventory, the OAQPS has initiated work to incorporate the SARA Section 313
data into the assessment program. Although we do not believe that health
risks can be reliably estimated from the SARA Section 313 data alone, this
information is expected to be of considerable value in the identification of
emission sources and in setting priorities for further assessment.
Although, for the reasons stated above, we believe that the estimates in
the ATERIS data base should not be relied upon as credible estimates of
individual source cancer risks, the attached tables list the facilities in
ATERIS with estimated maximum individual lifetime cancer risk (MIR) in the
intervals of 1 in 10, 1 in 100, and 1 in 1,000. Tables 1 through 3 are broken
out by pollutant and source category for each risk interval. Tables 4 through
6 report the same information sorted by State.. Please note that the number of
facilities in each risk category does not exactly match the number of
facilities provided to you earlier. The differences reflect periodic data
quality reviews and updates. .
-------
JUN -5 '69 16:47 FROM OPQPS, DURHfiM, NC TO RO 10 PPGE.034
The facilities identified on Tables 1 through 6 are sorted by MIR. It
is important to note that the MIR estimate associated with a particular
facility does not provide information on the distribution of risk across the
population residing in the vicinity of that facility. The MIR, particularly
in preliminary risk assessments, is best characterized as a rough measure of
the potential maximum individual lifetime cancer risk associated with exposure
to the maximum modeled long-term concentration. The MIR is not an appropriate
measure of the risk level affecting the entire population residing near a
particular facility.
With regard to the high MIR facilities, as noted at the outset, the EPA
is concerned about the potential health risks associated with the emissions
from these facilities. Thus, the risk estimates, as well as other data
pertinent to these facilities, were transmitted to the appropriate State and
local agencies after these estimates were computed. In addition, OAQPS is
presently conducting a study of the fugitive emission estimating techniques
used in the derivation of these risk estimates. The Chemical Manufacturers
Association 1s also studying the estimation of fugitive emissions from the
butadiene, ethylene oxide, and phosgene production categories. Preliminary
results from these studies indicate that the emissions estimates, specifically
for fugitive releases, way have been significantly overstated in the original
risk assessment. These findings may ultimately affect emission estimates for
other fugitive emission sources. Although we have not yet revised our risk
estimates for these facilities, it is likely that incorporation of this
information would substantially reduce the risk estimates. Further, we have
initiated regulatory development activities under Section 112 of the Clean Air
Act for all of the facilities associated with MIR in the 1 in 10 and 1 in 100
ranges, and most of the facilities in the 1 in 1,000 range.
Again, it is important to stress the preliminary nature of many of the
estimates stored in ATERIS. While we believe the ATERIS represents a useful
tool for ranking source categories for further assessment and evaluating the
distribution of estimated risks across emitting industries, the data on
individual sources may be subject to significant error.
