EPA Exemption Advisory: Significant Pediatric & Elderly Health Risk

At an 850 MW capacity with moderate exemptions, backup diesel generators discharge an estimated 4,250.8 tons of nitrogen oxides and elevate PM2.5 levels to 18.4 µg/m³—more than double the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Health models predict 312 excess respiratory emergency admissions in surrounding neighborhoods.
