In Data News, 2023-05-25
The RMP facility proximity is reflective of the total count of RMP facilities in each block group within 5
km of the average resident in a block group, divided by distance, calculated as the population-weighted
average of blocks in each block group
EJ Screen Hazardous Waste Proximity
In Data News, 2023-05-25
The hazardous waste proximity indicator is reflective of the total count of hazardous waste facilities in
each block group within 5 km of the average resident in a block group, divided by distance, calculated as
the population-weighted average of blocks in each block group. Hazardous waste facilities are defined as
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) handlers that are either operating TSDFs from RCRA or
reporting LQGs from the 2019 BR.

The UST indicator quantifies the relative risk of being affected by a LUST for a block group. The indicator
is derived by the weighted sum of active LUSTs and sum of active and temporarily out of service USTs
within a certain distance from a block group.
EJ Screen Ozone
In Data News, 2023-05-25
The ozone indicator in EJScreen reflects potential ozone exposure measured in terms of summer
seasonal daily average maximum concentrations in an 8-hour period measured in parts per billion.
Ozone information included in EJScreen highlights areas across the U.S. that are not meeting the
national ambient air quality standard for ozone. In other words, the levels of ozone present in these
areas are deemed harmful to human health.
The ozone indicator in EJScreen is a measure of potential exposure but not a measure of risk. The raw
ozone data is compiled by census tract, which is supplied for use in the tool by EPA’s OAQPS. For air
toxics risk measures (as opposed to exposure) users can turn to EJScreen’s other three indicators: cancer
risk, respiratory HI, and diesel PM.
EJ Screen Diesel Particulate Matter
In Data News, 2023-05-25
The Diesel PM indicator is the estimated concentration of Diesel PM as provided by the 2017 Air Toxics
update. The value of the indicator is in µg /m3
, and reported at the Census tract level. Block group level
values are assigned by repeating each parent tract level value.
EJ Screen Air Toxic Cancer Risk
In Data News, 2023-05-25
The air toxics cancer risk indicator is the estimated lifetime inhalation cancer risk from the analyzed
carcinogens in ambient outdoor air, as provided by the 2017 Air Toxics data Update. The value of the
indicator is persons per million lifetime. The data is reported at the Census tract level. Block group level
values are assigned by repeating each parent tract level value.
