Contents Notes
This report presents an option for revising the air pathway of the EPA Hazard Ranking System (HRS) to address situations of indoor air contamination arising from uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. The HRS is used by EPA to rank uncontrolled waste sites based on their relative threat to human health and the environment. Highly ranked sites are placed on the National Priorities List for further investigation and possible remedial action. The revision option is structurally similar to the current HRS air pathway. The revision option can be used to assess sites based on the degree of contamination detected in the indoor air, relative to human-health-based benchmark concentrations, and on the size of the population potentially affected by the contamination.
