Abstract
The Texas Air Control Board (TACB) conducted a major study of the offsite exposure concentrations of cement kilns. Data from both the TACB study and emissions monitoring by the cement industry are presented. 93.33% of the analytical results are found to be below conservative federal or state screening levels, indicating that adverse health effects would be unexpected. The results have implications for other communities where the burning of hazardous wastes in cement kilns is being considered
