A preliminary statistical examination of the effects of uncertainty and variability on environmental regulatory criteria for ozone.
Basing the quantitative expression of environmental regulatory standards and associated compliance criteria on statistical principles has recently received attention in Europe, most visibly in a study by the UK Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. These issues are timely for consideration in the USA, where a recent periodic review of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) has le...
متن کاملThe Exposure–Response Curve for Ozone and Risk of Mortality and the Adequacy of Current Ozone Regulations
Time-series analyses have shown that ozone is associated with increased risk of premature mortality, but little is known about how O3 affects health at low concentrations. A critical scientific and policy question is whether a threshold level exists below which O3 does not adversely affect mortality. We developed and applied several statistical models to data on air pollution, weather, and mort...
متن کاملBayesian Spatial Quantile Regression.
Tropospheric ozone is one of the six criteria pollutants regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act and has been linked with several adverse health effects, including mortality. Due to the strong dependence on weather conditions, ozone may be sensitive to climate change and there is great interest in studying the potential effect of climate change on ...
متن کاملRegulatory ozone modeling: status, directions, and research needs.
The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 have established selected comprehensive, three-dimensional, Photochemical Air Quality Simulation Models (PAQSMs) as the required regulatory tools for analyzing the urban and regional problem of high ambient ozone levels across the United States. These models are currently applied to study and establish strategies for meeting the National Ambient Air Q...
متن کاملFraming Assumptions and Cyberspace Regulation: A Critical Reflection on Differences among Countries
Thispaper attempts to connect two rather different fields of study by applying concepts from regulating technological risks to the field of cyberspace regulation. The concept of framing assumption is used in order to show the cyberspace regulation differences in countries particularly between the U.S. and the Euopean system. It shows how the U.S. and Europe have adopted different assumptions r...
