Abstract  In March 2004, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Division of Air Pollution Control (APC), asked the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH), Communicable and Environmental Disease Services (CEDS), Environmental Epidemiology (EEP), to determine the health risks from Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) from data collected in an industrial corridor of Loudon County, Tennessee. In order to collect the air data, APC designed a HAPs study to look at emissions in an area where local residents were concerned about health effects from pollutants emitted from several local industries. One monitoring location was selected based on modeling results. This Public Health Assessment (PHA) responded to the request, specifically by evaluating air data from the HAPs study and evaluating community concerns about environmental pollution in the area. The PHA responds to APC and to citizens' concerns and will assess whether the exposure to hazardous air pollutants measured by the HAPs study could impact public health.
