Considerations in Developing Air Quality Criteria,
Abstract
In order that adequate background material be available for consideration by state officials responsible for adopting ambient air quality standards, the criteria documents are formulated to provide such comprehensive information. The report briefly summarizes the development of air quality criteria. Air quality criteria, therefore, are expected to describe the concentrations, exposure times, meteorological interactions, and other potentiating influences that are associated with health, welfare, or economic effects atributable, either directly to the contaminant in question, or to some analog of that contaminant. Air quality criteria include measurement methodology for rigorous application in determining the air quality. They also provide information on chemical contaminants in order to facilitate the rational development of control strategies. (Author)
