Counts are records within a mile of the point, from the same sources; they overlap and are not unique facilities.
Why this may matter, and what to check
A source is not an exposure measurement. Health effects depend on the chemical or physical agent, whether it reaches a person, its concentration, exposure route, duration and individual susceptibility.
Why this may matter
Combustion can release particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, acid gases, metals and dioxins/furans. Fine particles can affect the lungs and cardiovascular system; other effects depend on the pollutant and dose. Actual emissions depend on waste, operation and pollution controls.
How it could reach a home
Air transport can extend beyond the local map radius. Wind, stack characteristics, terrain and weather affect where pollutants travel. Some pollutants may deposit onto soil or water.
What remains unknown
- Concentrations at the selected address
- Current emissions and control performance unless documented
- Facility-specific modeled footprint and exposure duration
What to check next
- Environmental regulator — Request the current air permit, recent stack tests and any published dispersion study.
- Facility operator — Which pollutants are monitored, how often, and are results public?
- Local health department — Are there monitoring studies or investigated odor/air complaints for this area?
