Dissertation Abstract

Airborne Trace Metal Emissions from Electric Utility Generating Facilities in the Philadelphia Region: Public

Health Risk and Environmental Policy (Towne Engineering Library, University of Pennsylvania)

This study analyzes the intertemporal variation in the emission of trace metals carcinogens from fossil fuel burning

electric power generating facilities in a densely populated urban area, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The public health risk of

exposure to these carcinogens over a multi-decade study period is estimated and analyzed to determine the effect of the

variation in emissions.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently attempting to determine whether additional

control programs are appropriate for power plants in order to address these risks. In addition, such risk determinations are

also relevant in the development of EPA s Clean Air Power Initiative and the development of climate change policy.

The overall conclusion drawn from this study is that the contemporary emissions of trace metal carcinogens from

power plants in the United States poses a relatively small risk to public health and this risk has decreased dramatically in

recent decades. Since the risk reduction accompanied a pollution control effort that occurred throughout the country for

other pollutants (notably particulate matter and sulfur dioxide), and further controls are likely to be required for these same

units for other environmental concerns (e.g., eutrophication, fine particles, regional haze, etc.), it would appear that future

reductions in trace metal carcinogens can best be obtained as a concomitant benefit of these other regulatory efforts.
