Our investigation has included air sampling, laboratory analysis and comparison with other monitoring locations in the area. The Bureau has found nothing which would lead us to conclude that there are any adverse health effects related to air pollutants in the area under investigation. All pollutants for which we monitored were found to be well below the US EPA health-based ambient air quality standards.
The Bureau has been unable to identify what substance may be softening the clearcoat on vehicles and other materials, but we suspect it may be the result of acid deposition.
