CALPUFF View - Sensitive Receptor Summary Report
When conducting an air quality modeling analysis, you may be called on to compute concentrations at sensitive receptors. While specific definitions of sensitive receptors vary from one jurisdiction to the next, it most commonly refers to receptors used in a modeling analysis to represent a sensitive population. Examples include schools, daycare facilities, hospitals, care facilities, and more.

IRAP-h View - Identifying COPCs
IRAP-h View, the Lakes-developed interface for conducting multi-pathway health risk assessment in accordance with the U.S. EPA OSW Human Health Risk Assessment Protocol (HHRAP), can analyze impacts from hundreds of unique compounds of potential concern (COPC. Compounds include metals, organic compounds which survive the combustion process, and organic compounds which are formed immediately after combustion. There is no universal list of COPCs and should be selected based upon stack testing and facility-specific process information.
