CPANA Releases Air Monitoring Results for March

CPANA is releasing the March air monitoring results. The tests attached are for volatile organic compounds.

Nothing in the results appeared to exceed any air monitoring comparison values. More commentary will be provided at the end of the study, or if something comes up abnormal.

Beginning March 5, 2011, CPANA monitored two locations:

March 5 - April 7 - Box 210 (Near future Ingram well site)
March 5 - April 7 - Box 99 (Near future B&H well site)

Benzene levels for both boxes came in well below TCEQ long-term effects screening levels (ESLs).

Total levels of VOCs showed to be about twice as high at the B&H site (Box 99 - 1.81 ppb) than the Ingram site (Box 210 - .93 ppb), which is expected since the B&H site is closer to a fuel station, and busy S.H. 121 Business. This variance in background levels is part of the reason CPANA is conducting baseline air monitoring.
