1 - Pollutants measured were 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 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 analyzed air samples for both sets of pollutants in each chemical group and reviewed all the data in drawing conclusions for each school, we focused our data analysis activities primarily on the individual "driver pollutants".

2 - Previously listed school, Hudson K-Eight was demolished; this school represents the same pollutants of interest.

3 - The March 31, 2009, verson of the list indicated that Metals in PM10 would be monitored.  This was a typographical error.  Metals in PM10 were not be monitored at this school.

4 - School formerly known as La Croft Elementary

5 - These schools are located close to each other.  Our goal was to use one monitor to characterize both schools.

6 - School formerly known as Notre Dame Queen of Peace

7 - The schools are located close to each other, the monitor was placed at the Central Virginia Training Center because of technical problems at the Solid Rock location.
