The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has rejected fence line air monitoring plans for all five Bay Area refineries, saying the plans don't meet the requirements of its refining emissions tracking rule.
MARTINEZ â The district said Monday that its rule requires Bay Area refineries to operate fence line air monitoring systems that measure specific pollutants crossing their property lines. Refineries are required to monitor, record and publicly report concentration levels of multiple compounds, including hydrogen sulfide. The district said that monitoring is already underway, and the data is available to the public in near real time.
' The district said the refineries were required to update their monitoring plans to address requirements for monitoring hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with the odor of rotten eggs. Exposure to hydrogen sulfide can induce tearing of the eyes, headaches, nausea and vomiting.
