AMI has recently completed an update of the health risk assessment model
ACE2588 and the new version is dated 02101. The revised ACE2588 model has the
following features:
 | interface with the
latest version of the ISCST3 model as well as the ISC-PRIME and AERMOD models. |
| update to reflect the latest guidelines from
California ARB and OEHHA, including the updated
March 2002 health
effects data (cancer unit risk factors, cancer potency and noncancer acute
and chronic RELs). The multipathway exposure algorithms have been revised with
new multipathway pollutants and exposure parameters. |
| handle the multi-averaging times (1-hr, 4-hr, 6-hr and 7-hr) for noncancer
acute analysis. |
| add several new toxicological endpoints, e.g. the acute hazard index is
computed for 10 endpoints and the chronic hazard index for 13 endpoints. |
| handle up to 100 pollutants, 500 emission sources and 10,000 receptors.
|
| perform extensive QA/QC checks of the source and receptor inputs to ISCST3 and
ACE2588 to ensure the validity of the model
applications. |
| update of the ACE2588 user's guide to reflect the above
changes. |
AMI has also recently developed a menu-driven preprocessor that can assist,
with a minimal amount of time and effort, the user in setting up the ACE2888
input file. The preprocessor
PREACE
can:
| obtain automatically the necessary source and receptor data from the ISCST3
input file, |
| obtain the pollutant identification from the ACE2588 toxicity input
file, |
| accept emissions inputs in either engineering units (in lbs/hr or
lbs/yr) or metric units (in g/s), |
| make the ACE2588 model really easy to
use! |
