The site selection process and project implementation activity in Las Vegas, NV, is presented for a field conducted in Las Vegas, NV, from middle of December 2008 through middle of December 2009. PM2.5 and MSAT concentrations and variations in concentrations as a function of distance from the highway and to establish relationships between MSAT concentrations were identified as related to highway traffic flows including traffic count, vehicle types and speeds, and meteorological conditions such as wind speed and wind direction. The mobile source air toxics include benzene, 1,3-butadiene, formaldehyde, and acrolein, while the mobile source related air pollutants include CO, NO, NO2, NOx, SO2, and PM2.5. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 103rd AWMA Annual Conference and Exhibition (Calgary, Alberta, Canada 6/22-25/2010).
