Nationally, more than half the population lives within 200 meters of a major road, which according to the census bureau, a major road is not based on traffic volume. The EPA states that their is no health threat to children in relation to the Execuative Order. The Gauderman et al study in the journal lancet indicates the regional approach to transportion conformity is flawed. EPA's own research on near roadway exposures indicate the same. Transportation conformity needs to address the impacts on local receptors. Setting a national standard for known carcigens such as benzene and 1,3 butidene would be a great start.
