From: Leslie Stewart,Chair
Hazardous Materials Commission -
Date: July 18,2000
Subject: Children's Exposures to Air Pollution
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation: AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to send a letter to the
Air Resources Board requesting that it consider the County when selecting sites for special air
monitoring studies concerning children's exposures to air pollution.
Background: As a result of SB 25 (Escutia), the California Air Resources Board is designing
studies about children's health and air pollution. Among these are special air monitoring studies
in several communities to evaluate the adequacy of the current state monitoring network to
determine the exposures of infants and children to air pollutants. In June 2000, the Air Board
issued draft criteria for selecting the communities and asked for public comment, including
suggestions for communities where the special monitoring might be conducted.
The recommendation above advances action taken by the Board of Supervisors two years ago. In
1998, the Board Chair wrote to the Chair of the Air Resources Board (see attached) to urge the
Air Board's support for additional monitoring stations to provide improved, more local data and
to urge that the Board take children's health into consideration in evaluating and analyzing
monitoring data. The letter was one of several Board actions in response to a report and
recommendations the Board had requested of the Hazardous Materials Commission on the
document School Haze, issued by a private group. School Haze argued that children in several
schools in the county were at greater risk of daily exposure to hazardous materials due to their
being near certain industrial facilities.
Because of its earlier report, the Hazardous Materials Commission reviewed the Air Resources
Board draft criteria and prepared the attached letters to the Air Resources Board for your
consideration. The Air Resources Board's proposed studies will help address the lack of data
about children's exposures noted in the Commission's report, and are responsive to the concerns
in the Board of Supervisors' 1998 letter. Selection of a special monitoring site in Contra Costa
County would provide valuable local data, in addition to contributing to the statewide effort.

Ms. Linda Murchison
Chief, Emission Inventory Branch
Air Resources Board
2020 L Street
Sacramento, CA 95812 RE: Special air monitoring studies for children
Dear Ms. Murchison:
The Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Commission has reviewed your draft criteria for
selecting communities for special air monitoring studies for children. We recommend that you
specifically consider Contra Costa County communities in malting your selection. Characteristics of
the county and special monitoring resources here(described below) make this area an excellent choice.
As you are aware, our county is highly industrialized and crossed by heavily-traveled highways. It is
home to several petrochemical refineries, chemical plants, and numerous smaller industrial-facilities.
Contra Costa County is growing rapidly, and children are a major component of that growth. We are
gratified that your SB 25 studies will address a potential data gap affecting children's health from a
statewide perspective.
Children's exposure to air pollution is,of particular interest to us. In 1998, the Commission-
comprised of representatives of industry, labor, elected city officials, and environmental and civic
organizations - reviewed for the Board of Supervisors a statewide report&qt implied that children at
several schools near facilities here were at heightened risk of exposure. We unformed ourselves about
the monitoring conducted in the county, and heard helpful presentations from Bay Area Air Quality
Management District staff.
While appreciative of the District's and the Air Resources Board's efforts to monitor the air and protect
the population from pollution caused by industrial, vehicular, and other sources, Commissioners
remained concerned that there may not be sufficient information about air duality here on a
neighborhood basis, due to the County's geography and microclimates. Schools, day care centers, and
recreation areas are not monitored. There is thus not good information on children's daytime exposures
to PM10, diesel exhaust, and a wide variety of chemicals from industry.
Our local concerns mirror the second set of criteria in your document: a number of schools and day
care centers here are near and downwind of major industrial and other emission sources, including
smaller businesses and heavily-traveled freeways and rail lines. Some are near more than one source,
raising questions of cumulative impact from both industrial and mobile sources. The air monitors have
not all been located with the emission sources in mind, and none with the schools in mind. On the
other hand, there are eight Board and Air District monitors in the county, four monitoring for toxic air
contaminants in addition to criteria pollutants, and two for PM 10. Any of these monitors provide an
existing source of information for this study, as noted on page 3 of your document.

Children s.exposure to Air Pollution
Duty 3, 2000
Additional and unique air monitoring resources here may also be of value to you. Contra Costa Health
Services has equipped a van with a meteorology station, two gas chromatographs, CO and PM10
monitors and related equipment as part of a project with'USEPA to validate an air model. In the
private sector, one large facility has installed several types of open-path optical monitors along its
fenceline, and a monitor at a neighboring school. The data is available to the county and the
neighboring communities, some of whose residents and a school are right at the fenceline. As you
know, many facilities here have their own on-site monitors which, while not in neighborhoods, may yet
contribute to your data if provided to you. We also have sample results from our Bucket Brigade, a
network of residents equipped and trained to take air samples which are then sent for lab analysis.
The industrial nature of the county, our several major transportation routes, and our large and growing
number of children all fit your criteria and warrant a closer look.. Our numerous microclimates make it
difficult to know whether the existing network provides a good representation of children's exposures
by neighborhood county-wide. In this way, too, our communities are representative of other areas in
the state where wind speed and topography are greatly varied over small distances.
Finally, several communities in our industrial areas and along the highways and rail lines have a larger
proportion of children whose health is generally at greater risk due to socioeconomic factors. Your
criteria do not specifically address this health issue. Assurance that their air quality is good(or
learning how it needs to be improved)would be a particular boon to them. Overall, air quality is of
great interest to residents, businesses, and government officials throughout our county, and data about
any one community would be well-utilized locally in addition to its contribution to the statewide effort.
Thank you for providing the opportunity to comment on this important project. We will be following
its progress and look forward to seeing your results. If you would like further information about our
locale, please contact Elinor Blake, Executive Assistant to the Commission, at 925/370-5022 or by e-
mail at eblake@hsd.co.contra-costa.ca.us.

Sacramento, CA 95812 RE: Special air monitoring studies for children
Dear Ms. Murchison:
On behalf of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Y am writing to ask that you
consider our county in selecting sites for the special air monitoring studies you are planning.
The studies will help assess the adequacy of the current state air pollution monitoring network
with regard to children's exposures to air pollutants.
In 1998,we wrote to the Chair of the Air Resources Board to urge the Board's support for
additional monitoring stations to provide improved data at a more local level. We also urged that
the Board take children's health into consideration in evaluating and analyzing monitoring data.
We are gratified that you have developed this new monitoring study and related projects,which
address those concerns.
Assuring that good data is available on which to base decisions affecting children's exposures
and health is most important to us. The attached letter from our Hazardous Materials
Commission provides further information about the county and the unique monitoring resources
here in relation to the draft selection criteria you issued in June.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on those criteria and suggest communities for special
monitoring.
