* Pollutants to be measured have been selected based on emission sources in the vicinity of each school.
• 4,4-Methylenedianiline: A chemical compound used mainly for making polyurethane foams
• Carbonyls: Also known aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde and acetaldehyde).
• Cr+6: Hexavalent chromium
• Diisocyanates: Chemical compounds used in manufacturing foam-containing products; three of these compounds will be measured.
• Metals in PM10: Toxic metals contained in particulate matter that is 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller (e.g., lead, nickel and manganese).
• Metals in TSP: Toxic metals contained in total suspended particulate matter (e.g., lead, nickel and manganese).
• PAH: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (e.g., naphthalene, benzo(a)pyrene).
• VOC: Volatile Organic Compounds (e.g., benzene, vinyl chloride).

Note: The groups of chemicals identified for each school as “pollutants to be monitored” include both the specific individual pollutants within the group that our current information indicates may be present at each school at levels of potential concern (i.e., the “driver pollutants”) and some other pollutants that can be inexpensively measured at the same time. While we will be analyzing air samples for both sets of pollutants in each chemical group and will review all the data in drawing conclusions for each school, we intend to focus our data analysis activities primarily on the individual “driver pollutants”.
** These schools are located close to each other. Our goal is to use one monitor to characterize both schools.
