RE: FW: Dates for Pb RIA Issues









No need for confusino - do you have a moment to chat on the phone and

I'll explain?

Heidi -- I was struggling for what to tell Margaret to title each

meeting before I had a clear idea how to divide the discussion up, so I

apologize for the lack of clarity.

By scope, I meant the data sources (monitoring, emissions inventory) and

also what we will realistically be able to accomplish analytically given

the data we've got, and the time available.

By elements I meant a walk-through of the steps in the analysis --

developing emissions / air quality relationships, costs, and benefits.

That'll have to stretch over more than one briefing, I expect.

I'm a little confused, given the message I'm getting from Lydia per your

phone call with her, that you are expecting the first briefing to focus

solely on the target levels we're going to analyze?  I wonder if such a

discussion would quickly devolve into Zach and Deirdre's bailiwick (the

risk assessment issues).  Because we don't have decisions yet  on the

NAAQS levels to be proposed next spring, we're planning on looking at a

wide range of levels right now as we get started with the analysis, as

it'll be easier to narrow it later than broaden it later.

So I'm confused about whether Zach and the other health people need to

be at this meeting.

Thanks.

 Hi Kathy, follow up to previous email.

1) Does "scope" refer to standards to be included in the analysis?

2) And Elements refers to the Monitoring system, monitoring data, and

Emiss Inventory data?

Thanks!

Lydia: Topics for Thu NAAQS Pb NAAQS Risk Assessment Interagency
Briefing









 

Lydia, 

 

Below are a few points to help Zach identify topics that would be
helpful to include in Thursdays interagency briefing on the Pb NAAQs
Risk Assessment.  Recall that I promised these to you last week,
summarizing the types of questions I've been hearing from out
interagency colleagues:

 

Overview of how the risk assessment is constructed, and how the various
components are used, including

 Case Studies (supporting the continued control of Pb?)

 Calculation of threshold (supporting selection of the standard?

How does risk assessment manage “old air” versus “new air”

 

How are various exposure pathways parsed out 

Paint vs air vs Point Source vs crustal etc

 

Relationship btw monitored air levels and exposure

 

Key sources of uncertainty, as well as areas of greater certainty (eg
endpoints)

 

Thanks,

 

heidi
