AIR TOXICS SITE, KAIRS 8345 is an air monitoring station located at RVP Farm on Colen Road in Tiline, Livingston County, Kentucky. The station is part of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Air Quality System (AQS) network, which monitors criteria pollutants and air toxics across the country. Operated by the Kentucky Division For Air Quality, this station contributes to the state's ambient air monitoring program. The station focuses on air toxics monitoring, which involves measuring hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects. Typical parameters include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metals, and other toxic substances. The data collected supports regulatory compliance under the Clean Air Act and helps assess local air quality trends. The station's siting in a rural area provides background concentration data away from major urban sources. Environmental monitoring at this station is significant for understanding regional air quality in western Kentucky. The data aids in evaluating the effectiveness of emission reduction programs and informs public health advisories. As part of the national monitoring network, it ensures continuous reporting and contributes to the EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment.
