Assessing Near‐Source Health and Equity Impacts of Liquefied Natural Gas Terminals
-attributable pediatric asthma rates per 100,000 children were 75.5 (A), 6.2 (B), 21.8 (C), and 1.1 (D). This study demonstrates how regulatory dispersion models like AERMOD can be adapted to evaluate near-source health and equity impacts of industrial emissions and offers a transferable methodology for similar analyses across other high-emitting facilities.
