North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air sampling measurement sites have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and in
surrounding communities to provide information on pollutants in the air. While the sampling units
are in place, air quality results will be provided for the public reference. Any questions regarding
these numbers should be directed to the call center at (714)-426-2444.
What is being measured in the air?
A variety of pollutants are being measured continuously such as particulate matter (PM), Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs — a common contaminant), carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide.
Pollutants collected and analyzed in a laboratory include asbestos and the following metals:
Antimony
Arsenic
Barium
Beryllium
Cadmium
Chromium
Cobalt
Copper
Lead
Molybdenum
Nickel
Selenium
Silver
Thallium
Vanadium
Zinc
Incident air quality reports will include the results of the primary pollutants of concern including
PM, asbestos, lead and arsenic and if other pollutants are exceeding a health -based threshold,
they will be identified. Please note, that the pollutants selected are specific to this localized
incident and thus may have differences of "air quality" compared to general regional air quality
reporting (weather channel, IOS/Android weather information).
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
For information about air quality index (AQI) and regional air quality monitoring, visit the AirNow
website at www.airnow.gov.
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a natural occurring mineral that can be found in nature. It is even found inside
California's State rock, Serpentine. It was commonly used in many different building materials
and products over the years. If asbestos fibers are released into the air, they pose a health risk
when inhaled.
What are Toxic Metals in air?
Certain metals are hazardous air pollutants, also known as toxic air pollutants or air toxics.
These air toxics are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as
reproductive effects or birth defects at sufficient concentrations and durations.

North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air sampling measurement sites have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and in
surrounding communities to provide information on pollutants in the air. While the sampling units
are in place, air quality results will be provided for the public reference. Any questions regarding
these numbers should be directed to the call center at (714)-426-2444.
What is being measured in the air?
A variety of pollutants are being measured continuously such as particulate matter (PM), Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs — a common contaminant), carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide.
Pollutants collected and analyzed in a laboratory include asbestos and the following metals:
Antimony
Arsenic
Barium
Beryllium
Cadmium
Chromium
Cobalt
Copper
Lead
Molybdenum
Nickel
Selenium
Silver
Thallium
Vanadium
Zinc
Incident air quality reports will include the results of the primary pollutants of concern including
PM, asbestos, lead and arsenic and if other pollutants are exceeding a health -based threshold,
they will be identified. Please note, that the pollutants selected are specific to this localized
incident and thus may have differences of "air quality" compared to general regional air quality
reporting (weather channel, IOS/Android weather information).
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
For information about air quality index (AQI) and regional air quality monitoring, visit the AirNow
website at www.airnow.gov.
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a natural occurring mineral that can be found in nature. It is even found inside
California's State rock, Serpentine. It was commonly used in many different building materials
and products over the years. If asbestos fibers are released into the air, they pose a health risk
when inhaled.
What are Toxic Metals in air?
Certain metals are hazardous air pollutants, also known as toxic air pollutants or air toxics.
These air toxics are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as
reproductive effects or birth defects at sufficient concentrations and durations.

North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air monitoring and sampling locations have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and
in surrounding communities to provide real-time information on Particulate Matter (PM) in the
air. While the units are in place, an average reading for the last 24 hours will be provided for the
public's reference. Any questions regarding these numbers should be directed to the call center
at 714-426-2444.
Monitoring Air Quality for Sensitive Individuals
The Incident Management Team Environmental Group is monitoring the air quality around the
incident for any readings above 154 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which may cause
individuals in sensitive groups to experience health effects. This is a moderate threshold that is
less likely to affect the general public.
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
Typical particulate matter for the area ranges from 3 to 67 ug/m3. The concentration range is
based on sampling results collected by South Coast AQMD in Anaheim, CA, which was the
closest available dataset in proximity to the site. For more information about air quality and
monitoring, visit the AirNow website at www.airnow.gov.

North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air monitoring and sampling locations have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and
in surrounding communities to provide real-time information on Particulate Matter (PM) in the
air. While the units are in place, an average reading for the last 24 hours will be provided for the
public's reference. Any questions regarding these numbers should be directed to the call center
at 714-426-2444.
Monitoring Air Quality for Sensitive Individuals
The Incident Management Team Environmental Group is monitoring the air quality around the
incident for any readings above 154 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which may cause
individuals in sensitive groups to experience health effects. This is a moderate threshold that is
less likely to affect the general public.
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
Typical particulate matter for the area ranges from 3 to 67 ug/m3. The concentration range is
based on sampling results collected by South Coast AQMD in Anaheim, CA, which was the
closest available dataset in proximity to the site. For more information about air quality and
monitoring, visit the AirNow website at www.airnow.gov.

North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air monitoring and sampling locations have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and
in surrounding communities to provide real-time information on Particulate Matter (PM) in the
air. While the units are in place, an average reading for the last 24 hours will be provided for the
public's reference. Any questions regarding these numbers should be directed to the call center
at 714-426-2444.
Monitoring Air Quality for Sensitive Individuals
The Incident Management Team Environmental Group is monitoring the air quality around the
incident for any readings above 154 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which may cause
individuals in sensitive groups to experience health effects. This is a moderate threshold that is
less likely to affect the general public.
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
Typical particulate matter for the area ranges from 3 to 67 ug/m3. The concentration range is
based on sampling results collected by South Coast AQMD in Anaheim, CA, which was the
closest available dataset in proximity to the site. For more information about air quality and
monitoring, visit the AirNow website at www.airnow.gov.

North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air monitoring and sampling locations have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and
in surrounding communities to provide real-time information on Particulate Matter (PM) in the
air. While the units are in place, an average reading for the last 24 hours will be provided for the
public's reference. Any questions regarding these numbers should be directed to the call center
at 714-426-2444.
Monitoring Air Quality for Sensitive Individuals
The Incident Management Team Environmental Group is monitoring the air quality around the
incident for any readings above 154 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which may cause
individuals in sensitive groups to experience health effects. This is a moderate threshold that is
less likely to affect the general public.
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
Typical particulate matter for the area ranges from 3 to 67 ug/m3. The concentration range is
based on sampling results collected by South Coast AQMD in Anaheim, CA, which was the
closest available dataset in proximity to the site. For more information about air quality and
monitoring, visit the AirNow website at www.airnow.gov.

North Hangar Fire Incident I City of Tustin
Air Quality Updates: Particulate Matter
Air monitoring and sampling locations have been set up around the perimeter of the hangar and
in surrounding communities to provide real-time information on Particulate Matter (PM) in the
air. While the units are in place, an average reading for the last 24 hours will be provided for the
public's reference. Any questions regarding these numbers should be directed to the call center
at 714-426-2444.
Monitoring Air Quality for Sensitive Individuals
The Incident Management Team Environmental Group is monitoring the air quality around the
incident for any readings above 154 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which may cause
individuals in sensitive groups to experience health effects. This is a moderate threshold that is
less likely to affect the general public.
What is Particulate Matter?
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely
small particles and liquid droplets that exists in the environment including pollen, dust, and soil.
Typical particulate matter for the area ranges from 3 to 67 ug/m3. The concentration range is
based on sampling results collected by South Coast AQMD in Anaheim, CA, which was the
closest available dataset in proximity to the site. For more information about air quality and
monitoring, visit the AirNow website at www.airnow.gov.
