Abstract
The Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) and the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) completed a project to better characterize air toxics levels in the
atmosphere and evaluate air quality models for use in assessing policies to reduce levels of air toxics. The
goal of the project was to provide a comprehensive assessment of air toxics in New Jersey based on three
primary tasks: (1) statistical analyses of ambient air toxics data in New Jersey; (2) comparisons between existing ambient data, air quality modeling results, and emission inventories; and (3) evaluation of an
updated model for use with air toxics. Ambient monitoring air toxics data in New Jersey and surrounding
states were analyzed to determine the levels for air toxics in and around New Jersey.
