Toxics & air permits
Emissions and discharge permits, read against modeled exposure.

Permits are the ceiling
A permit's allowable emissions is a legal ceiling, not a measurement of what a facility actually emits — the record always distinguishes the two.
Scores lag reality
RSEI and discharge-monitoring data is typically months old at publication; the record dates every figure so a reader knows how current it is.
Exposure is modeled, and said to be
Any dispersion or exposure estimate is clearly labeled as a model, built from public permit limits, not a direct health finding.
A permitted emissions ceiling read from the air permit is [verified] ; the modeled ground-level increase from a standard dispersion run is [inference] .
Guardrail
A modeled exposure estimate is never published as a health finding.
