National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) Informational Video at http://www.epa.gov/apti/video/NATAVideo1011.html
There are 8 video modules in this set. They include an overview, demonstration of how to navigate results, and examples of how the assessment is used. These modules range in length from 2 to 12 minutes running time.
As background, NATA identifies and prioritizes air toxics, emission source types, and locations that are of greatest potential concern in terms of contributing to population risk. EPA uses the results of these assessments in many ways, including:

* To work with communities in designing their own local-scale assessments
* To set priorities for improving data in emissions inventories, and
* To help direct priorities for expanding and improving the network of air toxics monitoring
