Demonstration of C-Tools for Community Exposure Assessment

Isakov, V. Demonstration of C-Tools for Community Exposure Assessment. UK-US meeting on Air Quality Modelling and Exposure Science, London, Kings College, UK, September 29 - 30, 2016.
Impact/Purpose:
The National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) Computational Exposure Division (CED) develops and evaluates data, decision-support tools, and models to be applied to media-specific or receptor-specific problem areas. CED uses modeling-based approaches to characterize exposures, evaluate fate and transport, and support environmental diagnostics/forensics with input from multiple data sources. It also develops media- and receptor-specific models, process models, and decision support tools for use both within and outside of EPA.
Description:
The presentation describes a new community-scale tool called C-PORT to model emissions related to all port-related activities – including, but not limited to ships, trucks, cranes, etc. – and predict concentrations at fine spatial scales in the near-source environment. C-PORT is an EPA screening-level modeling and visualization system that can inform decision-makers and concerned citizens about local air quality due to mobile source emissions related to commercial port activities. It allows users to visualize and evaluate different planning scenarios under consideration, helping them identify the best alternatives for making long-term decisions that protect community health and sustainability
