Abstract | In 1978, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiated a study in the Beaumont, Texas-Lake Charles, Louisiana area (BLCA) as a preliminary step to develop, demonstrate and test methods for monitoring levels of chemicals, primarily in air and water, and to measure effects of the atmosphere on indicator organisms, all within a defined geographic area. The BLCA was selected because of its established petrochemical industries, and its residential, commercial, transportation and agricultural character. The selected study area includes Jefferson and Orange Counties in Texas and Calcasieu and Cameron Parishes in Louisiana. |
