Air toxic screen levels open for comment

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Air Quality Division (AQD) develops health-based air toxics screening levels to provide protection to the public when breathing the ambient (outdoor) air. These screening levels are used by AQD permit engineers in their evaluation of new or modified industrial processes which may emit air toxics.

As AQD toxicologists develop new screening levels, these new levels and the reasons they were set, are opened for comment. Two chemicals, Phenanthrene and 6:2 Fluorotelomer Sulfonic Acid, have newly proposed screening levels.  The public is encouraged to review information about these chemicals and submit comments by November 17.

If you have questions about these air toxic screening levels, please contact Doreen Lehner at LehnerD@Michigan.gov or 517-582-3779.
