The document summarizes the environmental services market and the top 200 environmental firms for 2016. Some key points:
- Total revenue for the top 200 firms grew 3.8% to $53.4 billion, with US revenue increasing 10.7% to over $40 billion for the first time in 4 years.
- Changes in government and economic conditions impacted some global regions, with revenue down in Australia and Canada but up in Europe.
- The power sector is seen as a new growth area as the energy, mining and steel industries decline.
- AECOM became the #1 firm after acquiring URS Corp, and MWH Global made its last appearance on the list before being acquired by Stante

The document discusses several topics:
1) The Missouri On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Program received notification that it continues to exceed performance standards set by OSHA. The program works with small Missouri employers to help identify and remove workplace hazards.
2) New EU regulations called RoHS and WEEE took effect in July 2006, limiting the use of certain hazardous substances in products and requiring producers to have waste disposal plans. These regulations affect electronics manufacturers and their suppliers globally.
3) Missouri Enterprise now offers consulting services to help companies understand and comply with RoHS and WEEE regulations to avoid losing business in European markets. Services include assessing obligations and developing compliance roadmaps.
The document discusses several challenges facing the oil and gas industry, including an aging workforce, increased regulation, resource nationalism in some countries, security risks from terrorist groups, and issues around water usage for fracking. It argues that adopting new technologies like the Internet of Things can help address some of these challenges by improving monitoring, data analysis, and operational efficiency. However, greater cybersecurity precautions will also be needed to protect networks and data. Overall, the industry must adapt quickly to ongoing changes in order to remain competitive and responsible stewards of natural resources.
Organizational Sign-on Letter Final 7.19.14Kyle Graczyk
The letter expresses concern about the growing problem of retaliation against corporate whistleblowers and urges the SEC to take actions to clarify and strengthen protections for whistleblowers. It notes that a study found that 22% of employees who reported misconduct faced retaliation. The letter asks the SEC to clarify protections for internal whistleblowers, clarify that actions to block whistleblowing are illegal, and create an advisory committee on whistleblower reporting and protection. Stronger protections would benefit both whistleblowers and corporations.

Pasture management involves rotating livestock between paddocks to allow for plant rest and recovery. Having more paddocks allows for greater rest periods, with 33 paddocks providing 97% rest. Proper rest of 32-45 days allows plants to fully recover from grazing. Overgrazing is avoided by limiting livestock to only two bites per plant. The number of paddocks and rest periods impact animal impact and regeneration of pastures.
This document compares different digestion methods for determining levels of lead, chromium, and cadmium in Ethiopian spice samples using atomic absorption spectroscopy. It analyzes samples that were digested via wet digestion, dry ashing, and microwave digestion. Microwave digestion provided a faster, safer, simpler, and cleaner method that yielded satisfactory recovery and detection limits. Lead, cadmium, and chromium were found in fenugreek, black cumin, garlic, and ginger samples in varying concentrations depending on the spice and metal. Microwave digestion is recommended as the best preparation method prior to atomic absorption spectroscopy analysis of metals in spices.

ISSA Sacramento: Security Metrics - So What?Allgress, Inc.
This document discusses using security metrics to demonstrate value to business stakeholders. It suggests gathering metrics to understand why they are needed and who they will influence. Metrics should show how security minimizes risk and maximizes business value. Examples show mapping vulnerabilities to revenue systems or time spent on issues by business unit. The goal is presenting metrics in a business context rather than technical terms.
Business intelligence (BI) systems allow companies to gather, store, access, and analyze corporate data to aid in decision-making. These systems illustrate intelligence in areas like customer profiling, market research, and product profitability. A hotel franchise uses BI to compile statistics on metrics like occupancy and room rates to analyze performance and competitive position. Banks also use BI to determine their most profitable customers and which customers to target for new products.

Session 6 a discussion of aten paper in session 6 aIARIW 2014
The document summarizes research on estimating Regional Price Parities (RPPs) and real regional income in the United States from 2008-2012. RPPs measure price level differences across US regions and are used to adjust nominal income figures to reflect real purchasing power. The research uses price data from the Consumer Price Index program and rental data from the American Community Survey to construct price indexes for states, metro areas, and counties. Real regional income estimates are then calculated by adjusting nominal income by the appropriate RPP. The analysis finds significant price level and real income growth variation across US regions over this period. Future research areas are identified to improve the price and weight estimates.

This report analyzes PM2.5 air quality data from over 3000 cities around the world in 2018. It finds that Asian cities dominate the rankings for highest PM2.5 levels, with Delhi, India and Dhaka, Bangladesh having the highest annual averages. At a country level, Bangladesh had the highest average PM2.5 levels when weighted by population. The report also examines air quality by region and finds that regions like the Middle East and South Asia had very high percentages of cities exceeding WHO air quality guidelines. It concludes that while more areas are monitoring air quality, large parts of the world still lack access to real-time public air quality data.
The letter requests that the EPA develop a notification system to provide timely access to information about any legal actions against the EPA. It argues that the current "sue and settle" approach used by environmental groups circumvents public participation requirements. A notification system would further the goals of open government by disclosing information and allowing public input into settlements that have broad impacts. The signatories represent a wide range of business sectors concerned about the growing influence of lawsuits outside the regulatory process.

Sham Report on Fracking "Failures" in the Pennsylvania Marcellus ShaleMarcellus Drilling News
This document discusses environmental violations committed by oil and gas companies conducting fracking operations in Pennsylvania between 2011-2014. It finds:
- The top 20 fracking companies in Pennsylvania committed on average 1.5 violations per day, with thousands of violations in total related to water and air pollution, improper waste disposal, and other lapses posing risks to public health.
- Major companies like Cabot, Chesapeake, Range Resources, and Chief Oil & Gas ranked among the top violators, as did Pennsylvania-based firms. Some violations resulted in chemical spills into waterways and groundwater contamination.
- Both large multi-national corporations and smaller local companies were frequent violators. The number of violations
The document discusses promoting transparency around pollution data through Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs). It outlines the three pillars of environmental democracy as access to information, public participation, and access to justice. PRTRs provide direct public access to pollution data without requiring information requests, increasing transparency. They have helped reduce pollution in other countries by increasing accountability, supporting state pollution programs, and allowing public oversight. The document argues it is time for Argentina to start a PRTR, with the polluted Riachuelo river basin being a relevant place to launch one.
The document discusses air pollution in the United States based on a 2009 report. Some key points:
- 60% of Americans live where air pollution levels are considered unhealthy and can cause illness.
- Pittsburgh and Bakersfield had the highest levels of long-term particle pollution. Los Angeles had the highest ozone levels, making it the "smoggiest".
- Many major cities face air pollution problems from ozone or particle pollution. Some unexpected areas like Salt Lake City also made pollution rankings.
- Short-term spikes in particle pollution increase emergency room visits and health risks. Major sources include vehicles, power plants, fires and industry.

IS THE MARKET ALWAYS EFFICIENT?
Market failure: free-market equilibrium not providing the socially optimal amount of a good.
Left to itself, a market economy will typically generate too much pollution because polluters have no incentive to take into account the costs they impose on others.

COSTS AND BENEFITS OF POLLUTION
The marginal social cost of pollution is the additional cost imposed on society as a whole by an additional unit of pollution.
Acid rain, smog, contaminated water, etc.
The marginal social benefit of pollution is the additional gain to society as a whole from an additional unit of pollution.
Goods and services, jobs, etc.
The socially optimal quantity of pollution is the quantity society would choose if all costs and benefits were fully accounted for.

SO HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE MARGINAL SOCIAL COST OF POLLUTION?
It’s the sum of the willingness to pay among all members of society to avoid that unit of pollution.
It may be hard to estimate, so society often underestimates it.
Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTs) in Rhode IslandEva Do
This document discusses leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs) in Rhode Island and options to address the issue. It provides background on LUST regulations since the 1980s. Data shows LUSTs release hazardous substances that contaminate groundwater and increase cancer rates. Three alternatives are analyzed: increasing EPA funding, enforcing state LUST laws, or banning underground tanks. Metrics to evaluate the alternatives are identified. Regression analysis shows a relationship between LUSTs and pollution levels. After weighing performance indices and stakeholder utilities, recommending enforcing state LUST laws is concluded to minimize health and environmental impacts.
The AQI in Dallas is one of the worst in the US for both ozone air pollution and PM2.5. In 2019, Dallas, Texas air quality failed to meet the nationally mandated level, which was PM2.5 pollution, and ozone days. Due to air pollution in Dallas, more than 1.5 million residents in Dallas are at health risk.
Joint Staff Report - Combatting the Opioid EpidemicAndy Polesovsky
This document is a staff report from the U.S. Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations regarding efforts to combat the opioid epidemic through Medicare and private health insurance programs. The report finds that while CMS has taken steps to address opioid overutilization in Medicare Part D, its program integrity efforts suffer from a lack of clear standards for reporting abuse cases. Reporting rates among insurers vary widely. The report also finds the MEDIC investigates a low percentage of complaints and its investigations are declining, despite rising complaints. Insurers' use of anti-abuse tools like lock-ins and point-of-sale edits also varies significantly. The report concludes key program integrity standards and oversight in Medicare Part D can be strengthened
This document describes a study that developed indicators to identify potential priorities for reducing exposure to air pollutants in Canada. The indicators are based on emissions data from industrial facilities, transportation, and residential heating for 21 known and suspected carcinogens. The indicators, including total annual emissions and toxic equivalent emissions, are calculated for different regions of Canada to help identify pollutants and sources that may warrant further investigation and exposure reduction efforts. The regional analysis suggests that residents of Quebec and New Brunswick may face higher risks from industrial emissions, and that residential wood burning could be an important source to control, especially in northern and eastern Canada.
This document discusses the issues surrounding jobs, competitiveness, and environmental regulation in the United States. It is argued that stringent environmental regulations impose high costs on U.S. industries, putting them at a competitive disadvantage internationally and causing firms to move investments and jobs overseas or lose market share to other countries with less regulation. However, the document notes that some economists have found little evidence that environmental protection costs have actually affected U.S. competitiveness or profitability.
The key findings of the report are:
1) Emissions from the largest 50 emitters in the Global 500 have increased 1.65% since 2009, indicating that big emitters need to do more to reduce emissions despite overall emissions falling.
2) Companies are not reporting on the most relevant indirect (Scope 3) emissions from their value chains, hiding the full climate impact.
3) Financial incentives, especially for board members, are a powerful catalyst for climate action by companies.
The document discusses increased enforcement of environmental crimes by the EPA in fiscal year 2010 and expectations for 2011. It provides statistics on criminal cases opened, charges brought, penalties issued, and statutes most often violated in 2010. It notes that EPA plans to hire more criminal investigators in 2011. The document also outlines legal risks to companies and individuals, including vicarious liability, responsible corporate officer doctrine, and false statement charges. Significant prosecutions from 2010 involving oil spills, hazardous waste, and clean air/water violations are also summarized.
The document discusses increased enforcement of environmental crimes by the EPA in fiscal year 2010 and expectations for fiscal year 2011. In FY 2010, the EPA opened 346 new cases, brought 289 criminal charges, and defendants were sentenced to a total of 72 years in jail and $41 million in fines and restitution. The EPA plans to hire more agents in 2011 which may lead to more criminal cases focusing on hazardous waste disposal and repeat offenders. Companies and individuals face legal risks like vicarious liability and charges for false statements that may be easy to prove based on actions taken or evidence of criminal intent. Strong compliance programs are the best way to prevent a criminal investigation.
This document summarizes a report on the potential for exposure to ten known or probable carcinogens in Toronto workplaces and environment. It finds that nine of the ten carcinogens are present in Toronto's outdoor air at levels exceeding what is considered tolerable cancer risk. Several are also found in indoor air and food above tolerable levels. Two - benzene and PAHs - are ten times above tolerable levels. Workers in certain industries like transportation and manufacturing may be exposed to carcinogen levels hundreds to thousands of times greater than tolerable limits. The report recommends prioritizing reducing emissions and exposure of carcinogens that pose high risks, especially benzene, PAHs and dioxins.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Introduction
In April of this year with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
announcement that the annual Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) for 2013 indicated an increase in
toxic releases over the last year, in typical Virginia DEQ fashion, the department provided few
details and did not disclose the names of the companies or the communities where these
increases occurred. A closer look at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) TRI data
reviews an almost 8% increase in toxic air pollution statewide.
When Congress adopted the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986
(EPCRA), under which the TRI was established, it was a compromise. Rather than set limits on
known toxic pollutants, the industry agreed to disclose their pollution emissions on an annual
basis for each their facilities.
The rationale was that if companies had to report their emissions, an informed public would
pressure the polluters to clean up voluntarily or at least neighbors would at least know what they
were being exposed to and could move away if they chose to. Of course, that only works if
citizens are provided with the actual data—the names of the companies, where they are located
and what pollutants they are spewing into our environment. In poorer communities where these
polluting companies are frequently located, even if a family accesses this data, they likely lack
the political clout and resources to challenge a polluter when the permit comes up for renewal,
and they may lack the wherewithal to move even if the pollution is causing their child to suffer
from asthma attacks.
The purpose of this report by the Sierra Club is to get more useful information about the toxic air
pollutants that we are breathing out into the hands of the public and to the communities most
impacted. All the pollution data cited here is the actual information provided by the companies
to the US EPA. Unlike DEQ, however, Sierra Club names names. In this report, we identify the
top twenty five most toxic zip codes for air pollution, the names of the companies doing the
polluting, what the pollution is that they are emitting and the health effects that are associated
with exposure to those pollutants. We also provide links to the EPA TRI database where an
interested citizen can find data on their own community even if they don’t live in one of the top
twenty five zip codes.
This TRI data is separate from the actual air pollution permit that the company has to secure
every five years. Concerned citizens should contact DEQ about a specific plant of concern and
inquire about the status of a company’s air pollution permit and any violations that have been
noted.
However, the DEQ air pollution permit process is not user friendly. First, the fact that there are
no standards or limits on most toxic pollutants in the air we breathe comes as a surprise to most
Virginians. Virginia DEQ views its role as issuing permits rather than protecting the public from
pollution. The permits focus on what comes out of the smoke stack, not on what folks who live
nearby may be breathing. The permits are very technical, and if citizens request a public hearing
on an air pollution permit, the hearing may be denied, and if not denied, it may not be that
5. 5
helpful. As DEQ notes: “during a public hearing, this is no opportunity for DEQ staff to answer
questions from the general public.”1
Despite these obstacles, citizens should voice their concerns about air pollution in their
communities. The more people complain, the more likely DEQ will be prodded to take action.
Aside from occasional site inspections and company self-reporting, enforcement is complaint
driven. If enough citizens complain, a company may take action even if DEQ says the company
is in compliance with its permit. DEQ provides a process for filing complaints. Figure 1 depicts
the DEQ reporting website.
http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/PollutionResponsePreparedness/MakingaReport.aspx
Figure 1. Virginia DEQ Pollution Reporting Website
It should come as no surprise that the most persistent sources of toxic pollution are too often
found in low-income communities and in communities of color. These communities that are
frequently ignored are the most vulnerable to the argument that environmental protections will
only come at the expense of jobs. As is evident from the top twenty five polluted zip codes in
Virginia identified in this report, these communities may be found in urban settings like
Richmond or in rural “company towns” dominated by one industry that serves as the major
employer.

Where that 7.8% Increase in Toxic Air Pollution Is Coming From
Fortunately, the trend line for toxic emissions has been downward for decades (Table 1 and
Figure 2), but when we observe a significant increase in toxic releases, the public has a right to
know where that pollution is coming from. From a high of almost 96 million pounds in 1988
when records first started, toxic air pollution had declined to just over 9 million pounds in 2012
before the 7.8% increase in 2013 (Figure 2). Only two other years, 1994 and 2008, saw
increases, both substantially smaller than the increase observed in 2013 (Table 1).

Community Right to Know
Although we need tighter limits on toxic pollution in Virginia and stronger enforcement efforts2
,
Virginians and all Americans have benefited from federal legislation, specifically the Toxics
Release Inventory (TRI) established under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), later expanded in the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. The
requirement of mandatory disclosure has resulted in significant reductions in toxic emissions as a
result of greater awareness and scrutiny from an informed public demanding cleaner air and
water. When informed and empowered neighborhood residents learn of chemical pollution
hazards in their community they can organize to pressure for reductions and enforcement. While
TRI has reduced pollution overall, by providing the name of the company, its address and the
name and volume of pollutants emitted, it also shines a light on those communities where toxic
pollution emissions persist.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) TRI data-base is maintained as a web-based
publicly accessible tool that permits one to enter a zip code and determine which companies in
that zip code are required to report and how much and which pollutants they are emitting. The
federal TRI program provides data on the release of 650 toxic chemicals into the environment.
Each year industries that produce more than 25,000 pounds or handle more than 10,000 pounds
of a listed toxic chemical must report to the TRI maintained by the EPA.
VA Sierra Club has taken the entire EPA TRI data set for 2013 (the most recent data available)
and sorted it by zip code to draw attention to those Virginia communities experiencing the
greatest exposure to toxic air pollution (Appendix A: 2013 Virginia TRI by Zip Code). As noted
before, it is no surprise that those zip codes with the most exposure to toxic air pollution are
frequently among the more disadvantaged communities in Virginia. However, even if your zip
code is free of polluting sources, we all live down wind of one pollution source or another.
Additionally, most air pollutants eventually settle to the earth to be deposited on our land and our
water where they remain for decades or longer depending on the pollutant.
While the reporting of individual chemical emissions is helpful, it does not tell the whole story.
The health impacts of exposure to these combinations of toxic chemicals in most cases has not
been studied and is not well understood. Additionally, these stationary source, smoke stack
emissions do not include the tons of toxic chemicals emitted from our gasoline and diesel power
cars, trucks and heavy equipment.
The President’s 2008-2009 Cancer Panel report, entitled ‘Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk’,
found there was a “growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer.”3
The
report noted that “the public is becoming increasingly aware of the unacceptable burden of
cancer resulting from environmental and occupational exposures that could have been prevented

through appropriate national action.”2
While some of the biggest polluters may still be found in
poorer communities, the toxics emitted into our air and water do not respect city or county
jurisdictional boundaries. The concentrations of pollution may be lower in communities some
distance from pollution sources, but as the 2008-2009 Cancel Panel report illustrates, even lower
levels of toxics exposure should be of concern to all Virginians.
Metropolitan Richmond, Virginia Capital for Toxic Air Pollution
Metropolitan Richmond has four of the top twenty five zip codes with the most toxic air
pollution. The four zip codes identified are in Hopewell (23860-ranked #1), Chesterfield County
(23836-ranked #4), Colonial Heights-Chesterfield (23834-ranked #8), and Richmond-
Chesterfield (23234-ranked #12). Together, these four zip codes accounted for almost 6 million
pounds of toxic air pollution in 2013. The total air toxic emissions in the Richmond Metropolitan
area declined a quarter of a million pounds from 6,202,408 lbs. in 2012 to 5,951,959 lbs. in 2013.
Chesterfield (23836) contributed the most to this decline as its emissions had declined by
573,768 lbs. or roughly by 29% due in large part to Phillip Morris USA Park 500 whose
industrial plant emissions had decreased almost by a million pounds. Although emissions by
Chesterfield Power Station, the biggest coal plant in Virginia, increased by 60% in this period,
the large decrease in emissions from Phillip Morris still resulted in a 23836 total zip code
decrease which contributed greatly to the drop in total emissions for the Richmond Metropolitan
area. The City of Richmond zip code 23234 emissions also decreased 44% from its 2012 total
toxic air emissions; DuPont’s Spruance plant and Phillip Morris’ plant on Commerce Road place
this zip code at #7 for toxic air emissions in the state.
Continuing to analyze 2012 and 2013 zip code yearly emissions, both Hopewell (23860) and
Colonial Heights (23834) increased their toxic air emissions by 546,587 lbs., up 20%, and
110,261 lbs., up 15%, respectively. The company that is responsible for the most significant
increase is the Honeywell International Hopewell Plant which had increases its emissions to
2,233,695 lbs. in 2013, up almost a half of a million pounds from 2012 (Table 2). Other large
polluters in Hopewell (23860) that had increased their emissions from 2012 include Hercules
Inc. up 11% and Hopewell Power Station which had increased a whopping 4,220% (Table 2).
Looking at the other Richmond Metropolitan area zip code whose toxic air emissions had
increased, Colonial Heights (23834), Honeywell International Colonial Heights Plant on Woods
Edge Road increased its emissions by 89,892 lbs. and Church and Dwight Co. Inc. increased by
20,371 lbs.
The majority of the pollutants emitted into Richmond’s air are potent lung irritants including
ammonia, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Exposure to these pollutants explains in part why
13. 13
the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranks Richmond among the worst cities for
asthma in the United States.4
The health effects of these more common pollutants should not be minimized, especially when
the long term effects of exposure are not well-understood and permanent harm to the human
respiratory system is suspected. Long-term occupational exposure to hydrochloric acid has been
reported to cause gastritis, chronic bronchitis, dermatitis, and photosensitization. Long-term
exposure to sulfuric acid may cause emphysema.
Other chemicals traced to cancer, birth defects, and liver, kidney, neurological damage are
released daily in metro Richmond as well.
Those chemicals include:
● Acetaldehyde emitted by RockTenn has been linked to cancer, birth defects and
neurological damage.
● Methanol emitted by Hercules and RockTenn may contribute to birth defects and
neurological damage.
● Phenol emitted by Honeywell and RockTenn may cause genetic mutations, and liver,
kidney and neurological damage.
● Toluene emitted by Honeywell and DuPont have been linked to birth defects, liver,
kidney and neurological damage.
Beyond the Top 25
The fact that your community does not show up in the top twenty five zip codes does not mean
that your health is not affected by toxic air pollution. Data for every zip code in Virginia with
reported TRI releases is listed in the appendix to this report, but regardless we all live downwind
of one or more sources of toxic air emissions. You can access TRI information for your zip code
here.
Some Good News
For years the electric utility industry was able to use its lobbying clout to exempt itself from TRI
reporting. That finally changed in 1998, more than a decade after the first TRI data was released.
Today, the prominence of electric utility power plant toxic emissions in TRI totals reflects the
toxic nature of coal burning that the utilities were able to hide for years. Among the top twenty
five most toxic zip codes in Virginia, four make the list, in part or wholly, because of emissions
from coal-fired power plants. The good news is that coal plants in Chesapeake (#6), York
4

14. 14
County (#10) and Cleveland (#7) are slated for retirement. One of the most toxic of pollutants,
the neurotoxin mercury, which has resulted in widespread fish consumption advisories
throughout Virginia and our country, is primarily due to mercury emissions from coal fired
power plants. As these coal plants, many of them more than 50 years old, are retired, we will all
benefit greatly from improved air quality.
Where Do We Go from Here?
The frequent refrain from industry and regulators is that typical levels of exposure to these toxic
chemicals are within applicable health standards, but the truth is that we don’t know. Worse yet,
the cumulative and synergistic health effects of these combinations of chemicals in the air we
breathe have in most cases never been studied.
The more prudent course would be to follow the precautionary principle and not allow the
release of chemicals not proven safe. But since we are living with these toxic chemicals every
day, the very least we should do is pursue epidemiological studies to assess correlations between
long term exposure and incidents of cancer and other serious illnesses.
It is our intention that this report will help inform the public and public officials of where toxic
air pollution is a problem across the state. TRI data presented in this manner may be effective in
fostering a healthy public debate that can contribute to greater and swifter reductions of toxic
pollution emissions.
In ‘A Strategy to Protect Virginians from Toxic Chemicals’, authors Noah Sachs and Ryan
Murphy recommend numerous measures to reduce Virginians’ exposure to the toxic pollutants
prevalent in our environment. 5 Among those recommendations that could accelerate a reduction
in toxics emissions discussed in this report are:
“DEQ and the three citizen boards governing air, water, and waste should enact
strict limits on toxic chemical releases in environmental permits, especially in
environmentally sensitive areas.”
“DEQ and the three citizen boards should focus stricter permitting and
enforcement efforts on chemical manufacturing and electric utilities, which are
responsible for more than two-thirds of all reported toxic chemical releases to
Virginia’s environment.”
Unfortunately, legislative efforts to tighten reporting requirements and increase fines for
violations of pollution laws in Virginia failed in the 2015 General Assembly Session. Hopefully,
5

with the growing awareness of our exposure to these toxics and the risks they represent, citizens
will demand stronger pollution limits, and industry and public officials will listen.

Health Impacts
The ten most common toxic chemicals released in the state of Virginia are shown in Table 34.
By virtue of these chemicals being included in the EPA’s TRI Program, they all cause “cancer or
other chronic human health effects, significant adverse acute human health effects [and/or]
significant adverse environmental effects”.49
It is important to keep in mind that the
consequences of being exposed to toxic chemicals can vary depending on several factors such as
the amount of the dose, the amount of time one was exposed, how one was exposed and whether
one is exposed to other chemicals as well. Personal habits impact the effects of exposure as
well.48
Health effects can occur shortly after exposure with a range of impacts in seriousness
from watery eyes to lung damage or they can be more insidious and occur after many months or
years after one’s first exposure (i.e. cancer).
Breathing toxic chemicals can increase your risk of health problems. They can hinder the
function of the body by frequently altering chemical reactions at the cellular level resulting in the
cell being unable to function or changing cellular activity. The effects of toxic air pollutants
entering the body can thus range from impaired organs, cancer which is the result of cells
growing too quickly, to birth defects which occur when an unborn child’s cells are damaged.
After a pollutant is breathed into the body, it can stay in the lungs or move around to all parts of
the body, being transported by the bloodstream. Depending on the chemical, pollutants can
become more or less toxic as they move around the body. This change due to chemical reactions
can occur especially in the liver. Pollutants can either stay in the body stored in fat, bone and/or
hair or can leave the body by being exhaled, in breast milk, sweat, urine and/or bowel
movements.50
Top 10 Toxic Air Pollutants in Virginia and Health Effects
The most released toxic air pollutant in the Commonwealth is the family of nitrate compounds.
Nitrate compounds are dangerous to the cardiovascular system if consumed. They are the culprits
behind blue baby syndrome which is a problem in agricultural areas where nitrates have gotten
into the drinking supply. However, when considered as an air pollutant, nitrate compounds make
up a major component of particle pollution.51
Particle pollution can lead to serious health
consequences especially for the smaller particle sizes which can be inhaled into the lungs and
some of which can get into the bloodstream. When people are exposed to particulate matter or
PM for a long time, this can lead to negative impacts on lung function, chronic bronchitis or
premature death.52
The second most released toxic air pollutant in Virginia is hydrochloric acid aerosols which can
cause irritation of the respiratory tract which can lead to difficulties in breathing. Hydrogen
chloride gas can also cause burns and eye irritation.53
Being exposed to methanol or methyl

alcohol in the air can irritate the respiratory tract and cause coughing or shortness of breath. Zinc
compounds make up the next most released air pollutant in the state of Virginia. Little is known
about impacts of breathing in zinc compounds on a long-term scale.54
Ammonia is an upper respiratory irritant and as such it can irritate the eyes, nose and throat;
short-term exposure to high concentrations of ammonia gas has been linked to tracheal burns,
airway obstruction and death.55
Manganese inhalation impacts fall mostly on the nervous system
resulting in decreased reaction times and poor hand-eye coordination and the respiratory system
causing bronchitis, coughing and an increased susceptibility to lung disease. Exposure to high
levels can cause lethargy, tremors and psychological issues.56
Like manganese, inhalation of
barium compounds can lead to irritation of the upper respiratory system as well as the eyes.57
Sulfuric acid, if inhaled, can irritate the nose, throat and lungs causing shortness of breath or
build-up of fluid as well as cause headaches, nausea and vomiting.58
There are many potential
health consequences of being exposed to toluene. This particular chemical impacts the nervous
system as well as the respiratory system. Being exposed to high concentrations of toluene has
resulted in death. Symptoms can include anxiety, exhaustion, confusion, dizziness and euphoria.
During pregnancy, exposure to toluene has resulted in miscarriages, children with birth defects in
addition to negative impacts on growth and mental abilities. Toluene can also damage skin, liver
and kidneys.59
Breathing high levels of ethylene glycol can irritate the upper respiratory tract as
well as mucous membranes such as the nose, ears, eyelids and mouth.60
The EPA TRI database provides an excellent resource to access not only which chemicals are
being released into the air and their associated health risks, but also to find information on the
big emitters close to your community. In highlighting the Top 25 toxic zip codes along with the
biggest polluters and the toxic chemicals released, our goal has been to make the public more
aware of what they are being exposed to as well as to empower Virginians with the knowledge of
how to use the EPA TRI database to find this information. As of 2013, Virginia was the 16th
most toxic state in looking at both fugitive and point source air emissions. Although we have
come a long way, Virginia still has a way to go to ensure that every Virginian is breathing clean
air.

Community Spotlight: Newport News (23607)
The Southeast Community is about 4 miles long and 2 miles wide and is found in Newport
News, part of the Hampton Roads region in southeastern Virginia. According to the 2010
Census, the neighborhood population is approximately 17% Caucasian and 77% African
American. Past research has found that the African American community in Newport News
suffers from heart disease death rates, chronic respiratory disease death rates and septicemia
death rates higher than the regional and state averages.61 The Southeast Community has been
identified as one of the most vulnerable areas to adverse health outcomes according to the 2012
Virginia Health Equity Report.62
In 2013, 72% of the toxic air emissions in Newport News occurred within the Southeast
Community (23607) which equals almost 250,000 pounds of releases. Huntington Ingalls Inc.
(Newport News Shipyard) continues to be the largest emitter of toxic chemicals not only in the
Southeast Community, but also in the city of Newport News. In addition to industrial facilities
such as the shipyard and the Mica Co. of Canada, Interstate 664 and commercial port operations
are also located within the Southeast Community. From 2012 to 2013, Huntington Ingalls Inc.
increased their toxic air emissions by more than 40,000 pounds. In that same time period,
emissions from the Mica Co. of Canada decreased around 20%.
N-butyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, methanol and sulfuric acid remain the most released chemicals
by air. N-butyl alcohol is a suspected neurotoxicant, cardiovascular/blood toxicant,
gastrointestinal/liver toxicant, respiratory toxicant, and skin/sense toxicant. Toluene has been
recognized as a developmental toxicant. Exposure of pregnant women can disrupt fetal
development or in some cases cause the death of the fetus. Other impacts can include birth
defects, abnormal birth weight, biological impairments, and psychological/behavioral deficits.
Additionally, toluene is suspected to be a cardiovascular/blood toxicant, gastrointestinal/liver
toxicant, immunotoxicant, kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory
toxicant and a skin/sense toxicant.
Methanol is a suspected developmental toxicant, gastrointestinal/liver toxicant, kidney toxicant,
neurotoxicant, respiratory toxicant, and a skin/sense toxicant. Sulfuric acid is a suspected
muscoskeletal toxicant, respiratory toxicant and skin/sense toxicant. Sulfuric acid ranks in the
75th percentile on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Risk Screening Environmental
Indicators for Inhalation Toxicity Weight, a ranking system that measures risk assessment
relative to other chemicals in terms of propensity to cause cancer and non-cancer health effects.
Xylene is suspected to be a cardiovascular/blood toxicant, developmental toxicant,

As a response to these environmental
stressors, the Southeast Community
has pulled together to fight the
pollution threatening their
neighborhood. In 2011, the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) designated the Greater
Southeast Development Corporation, a
Southeast Community-based
neighborhood development
corporation, as a recipient of the
Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) national competitive grant program.
The EPA’s CARE program focused on providing communities pathways to address risk from
multiple sources of toxic pollution. The Greater Southeast Development Corporation established
the Southeast CARE Coalition which is working today to tackle environmental concerns in the
community. Their main goals are to inform the Southeast Community of the impacts of toxic
pollutant exposure and to generate action that advances local environmental quality.
Through partnerships with several
organizations, the Southeast CARE
Coalition continues to both seek
community-specific data and raise
awareness by providing tours of the
environmental stressors in the
community (Figure 4). A research
project to obtain preliminary air
monitoring data will begin this
summer in conjunction with Old
Dominion University Professor Dr.
Anna Jeng (Figure 5). Volunteers
have been canvassing the
community and they already have almost
500 petitions signed going to the
Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality as well as Secretary of Natural

Resources Molly Ward to ask for an official State and Local Air Monitoring Site (SLAMS) as
well as National Air Toxics Trends Station (NATTS) in Newport News and for assistance with
developing a community-based air monitoring program. The Southeast Community continues to
provide an excellent example of a community working together to not only face the risks
imposed by exposure to hundreds of thousands of pounds of multiple toxic chemicals, but also to
begin to address them.
