ARSENIC MONITORING AT EXIDE TECHNOLOGIESBackgroundThe SCAQMD has collected air samples near facilities that use or process materials containinglead since 1991. SCAQMD currently operates four air pollution monitors at different distancesfrom Exide Technologies facility’s perimeter. These air samples are collected on a daily or on a1-in-3 day schedule. Air samples collected by SCAQMD for lead analysis can also be analyzedfor arsenic. SCAQMD has reanalyzed lead samples collected since the beginning of 2012, andthose results are provided below.Monitoring ResultsTrends in monthly-average arsenic concentrations near the Exide facility are shown in thefollowing chart. Locations of the monitors are provided in the map below, and the arsenic resultsfrom all air samplers are given in the following tables. Arsenic concentrations recorded at allmonitors (reported as monthly averages) were consistently above the average arsenic levelmeasured during the fourth Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study (MATES IV), a studyconducted by the SCAQMD to characterize the carcinogenic risk from exposure to air toxics.The MATES IV arsenic level on the following chart represents the average of arsenic levelsacross the Basin from July 2012 through March 2013 and is indicative of the background level ofarsenic for the South Coast Basin.On April 24, 2013 the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) orderedExide Technologies to suspend operations due to hazardous waste violations, and uncontrolledairborne emissions of lead and arsenic at its plant. A subsequent court decision allowed Exide tobegin resumption of operations the last week of June, 2013. The following chart reflects thelower, near-background levels of arsenic measured during this shut-down period.

Monthly-average arsenic (As) concentration trends near and around Exide. Two ambientair samplers were used on alternate days at the MID site (i.e. MID A and MID B). Monthlyaverages for September 2013 are partial. The black dotted line represents the averagearsenic level for all MATES IV sites from 07/01/12 to 03/31/13. As of 10/18/13 all MATESIV data are still preliminarySCAQMD contactsDr. Philip M.

Locations of the four monitors operated by SCAQMD

Daily average arsenic (As) concentrations at four monitoring locations around the Exide facility. Arsenic levels weremeasured on the same Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) filters that were collected and analyzed for Lead (Pb). TSPsamples collected prior to 01/01/12 have only been analyzed for Lead and not for arsenic. Note that two ambient airsamplers were used on alternate days at the MID site (i.e. MID A and MID B)DateRehrig PacificSiteArsenic n-122.4021-Jan-123.0722-Jan-121.1523-Jan-120.86MID ASiteArsenic (ng/m3)MID BSiteArsenic (ng/m3)AT & SFSiteArsenic (ng/m3)Ayers St.SiteArsenic 41.641.221.06

arsenic legally allowed in tap water, for example. Arsenic also contaminates many of your favorite foods, including fish, rice and chicken. Some food contamination stems from intentional uses of arsenic. In this report we clearly connect arsenic residues in chicken meat to the decades-old practice of intentionally putting arsenic into chicken .

carbon and hydrogen, creating organic arsenic. Most forms of arsenic are either white or colorless powders that do not evaporate. They also have no notable smell or taste; therefore, one cannot tell if arsenic is present in food, water, or air. Inorganic arsenic is the form of arsenic that poses the greater risk to human health (ATSDR 2000).
