Evaluate and Reduce Health Impacts From Air Toxics With Expert Risk Assessments

Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) are essential for understanding and managing potential health impacts from industrial operations that emit hazardous air pollutants and other air toxics. With 50 years of experience, we help clients navigate complex regulatory requirements at the federal, state, and local levels, delivering accurate assessments that inform permitting, compliance, and community protection. Our expertise in emissions inventories, dispersion modeling, and risk characterization provides the foundation for effective health risk evaluations and reduction strategies.

Our Health Risk Assessment Services

See how our health risk assessment services combine technical expertise and regulatory insight to help organizations quantify, manage, and mitigate health risks.

We prepare Air Toxics Inventory Reports (ATIRs), Toxic Emission Inventory Plans and Reports (TEIP/TEIR), and other state- or district-specific submittals, ensuring compliance with reporting requirements.

Our team conducts HRAs using tools such as CARB’s HARP 2.0 and U.S. EPA’s HHRAP protocols, including multi-pathway analyses for carcinogenic, acute, and chronic health effects.

We apply models such as AERMOD, CALPUFF, and BREEZE Risk Analyst to simulate pollutant dispersion and evaluate population exposure under varying conditions.

We develop Risk Reduction Plans (RRPs) and support participation in voluntary programs, such as SCAQMD’s Rule 1402, to reduce health risks and strengthen community trust.

Trinity prepares public notification packages and provides support during public meetings for facilities with elevated risk levels, promoting transparency and compliance.

We integrate advanced modeling and GIS tools to streamline data handling, improve accuracy, and visualize health risk results in clear, actionable formats.

Health Risk Assessment FAQs

An HRA evaluates the potential health impacts of exposure to hazardous air pollutants and other air toxics, helping facilities understand and mitigate risks to nearby communities.

HRAs are required by many regulatory programs, including EPA’s MACT standards, CEQA, Proposition 65, and environmental justice initiatives, to ensure compliance and protect public health.

Risks are assessed using emissions inventories, dispersion modeling, and exposure analysis, considering factors such as chemical properties, meteorology, geography, and population characteristics.

Industries such as cement, power generation, oil & gas, aerospace, electronics, biomedical, chemicals, and agriculture often require HRAs to meet permitting and compliance requirements.

Yes. We help clients develop Risk Reduction Plans, implement mitigation measures, and participate in voluntary programs to reduce community exposure and strengthen compliance.
