ASSESSMENT OF AIR QUALITY AT TETERBORO AIRPORT AND ITS VICINITY

Abstract: The Meadowlands Commission assessed the personal exposures to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the vicinity of the Teterboro Airport. A total of 15 volunteers were recruited from six municipalities around the airport’s location. VOCs were collected by a passive sampling method placed in each subject’s indoor, outdoor and personal air as well as at the Teterboro airport for 48 hour periods during 2006 (August, September, and December) and 2007 (January). The presentation will report the results of this study.
