Conclusions – Total Suspended 

Particulate (TSP) Sampling

 TSP sample average values at airport sites highe

the day than night but were lower than the averagbackground (Buck Destin Park and Harbor).

 TSP all hour airport impact sample average value

sites than all hour no-impact averages but were lthe average background (Buck Destin Park and Hno-impact.

 Detected organic compounds were related to jet 

and fireworks combustion

 No organic compound exceeded any health stan
Conclusions – Organics Bar Char

 Jet fuel contains hexane, toluene, and benzene

– all were present in some of the airport sample 

 No Tetraethyl lead present in any sample

Destin Airport Sa

 Fireworks emit hexane, carbon disulfide, toluene, 

(see US Army Ref. 3)

– All were present in one or more airport sample

 Acetone was present in all samples No health standard was exceeded Benzene detected at one site only in the duplicate 

(Note – benzene above EPA IRIS risk level)
Conclusions – Organics Samp

 Airport site averages am and pm below background

– Misty Way and Pine Ridge Trace above background– Indicates potential airport operation impact on these

 Airport Impact confirmed based on:

– Particulate lead higher for downwind sites versus u

– Total Suspended Particulate Comparison
