Hazard monitoring data were reviewed to identify those occurring at levels that exceed health-based standards health outcome statistics for the community in zip codes adjacent to the site were also reviewed to identify areas with rates of adverse health outcomes occurring at rates exceeding state values. Monitoring and emissions modeling data for the area from multiple third-party sources were requested and/or summarized. Multiple site visits were conducted to measure noise, air concentrations of particulate matter and to document potential exposure routes. To prioritize traffic-related environmental issues of concern in the I-10 Corridor area, scientific literature was reviewed to identify traffic-associated pollutants, exposure levels of concern (traffic volume, interstate proximity and air pollutant concentrations), and adverse health outcomes that are significantly related to interstate traffic and automobile emissions. no changes to the I-10 corridor) to complete removal of the I-10 interchange.

The focus of the Claiborne Ave., New Orleans project was to characterize environmental hazards, exposures, potential health implications and traffic-associated health outcomes for the communities living around Interstate I-10 (also referred to as the I-10 corridor).
