WELCOME! THIS SITE HAS INFORMATION
ABOUT A LARGE GROUP OF POLLUTANTS KNOWN AS "AIR TOXICS"
OR "HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS"
 The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has been working to reduce outdoor exposure to air toxics in our state since 1979. At this web site you can learn about air toxics and what we've been doing about them.
NEW: 1999 NATIONAL AIR TOXICS ASSESSMENT (NATA)
In 2006, USEPA released its 1999 National Air Toxics Assessment, an ongoing comprehensive evaluation of air toxics in the U.S. NATA uses a nationwide inventory of emissions of air toxics from point, area, and mobile sources to estimate outdoor air concentrations, and the resulting potential exposure and health risks across the country. NJDEP has analyzed USEPA’s 1999 NATA data for New Jersey, and has updated this air toxics web site with the 1999 information. To view NJDEP’s analysis, use the buttons on the left of the screen to navigate through this web site.

NEW: 2002 NATIONAL EMISSIONS INVENTORY (NEI)
In 2006, USEPA also released the final 2002 Air Toxics NEI. The 2002 NEI is a comprehensive description of air toxic emissions released in 2002 from point, area and mobile sources (non-road and on-road). The data will be utilized to predict air concentrations (using dispersion models) for the USEPA 2002 National Air Toxics Assessment.
