The Recommended Protocol For Evaluating The Location Of Sensitive Land Uses Adjacent To Major Roadways (Protocol) provides guidance to local land use planners on how to assess and disclose potential cancer risk of sensitive receptors exposed to diesel particulate matter from major roadways.
The AQMD Board of Directors approved major revisions to the Protocol and its Technical Appendix on October 23, 2008. The most recent Protocol reflects year 2011 emissions and traffic data from EMFAC2007.
