Air toxics regulatory issues facing urban settings.

Air toxics regulatory issues facing urban settings.

Biomarker research does not exist in isolation. Its usefulness can only be realized when it is translated into prevention strategies to protect public health. In the context of air toxics, these prevention strategies begin with the development of regulatory standards derived from risk assessment schemes. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 list 189 air toxics, including many volatile organics,...

HEI's mobile air toxics project.

A recent report of the Health Effects Institute (HEI), Research Priorities for Mobile Air Toxics (1), provides information on research capable of narrowing uncertainties related to health effects of specific mobile-source air pollutants. The report, developed at a workshop in Monterey, California, 4-6 December 1992, provides research recommendations for four mobilesource toxic air pollutants sp...

Air Toxics Analysis — Particularly Metals

The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of particulate metal emissions in the USA. The analysis will identify natural and industrial sources, environmental standards, emission trends, and controls of particulate emissions. Since the majority of airborne metal emissions originate from metal industries and electric utility facilities, environmental and worker assessments of exposure...
