From page 9...
... The RBCs in the second column reflect noncarcinogenic health risks while those in the third column are derived from estimates of cancer risk. There is a detailed discussion of the sources and methods used to estimate the RBCs later on in Section 4.
From page 10...
... Toxicity-emissions weighting of HAPs emitted by airport sources.
From page 11...
... The sixth column lists emission factors for GSE HAPs scaled to the aircraft source so that aircraft and GSE emissions may be compared. This scaling is based upon the formaldehyde emission inventories from three airports: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
From page 12...
... This analysis indicates they may be among the most important airport HAPs pending determination of their toxicity. Subsequent sections contain more details concerning the state of the toxicological data and a detailed rationale for our decision to focus on HAP emissions from aircraft turbine engines operating near idle as the dominant source of HAPs at commercial airports.
