This book presents WHO guidelines for the protection of public health from risks due to a number of chemicals commonly present in indoor air. The substances considered in this review, i.e. benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, naphthalene, nitrogen dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (especially benzo[a]pyrene), radon, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, have indoor sources, are known in respect of their hazardousness to health and are often found indoors in concentrations of health concern. The guidelines are targeted at public health professionals involved in preventing health risks of environmental exposures, as well as specialists and authorities involved in the design and use of buildings, indoor materials and products. They provide a scientific basis for legally enforceable standards.

The main objective of these updated global guidelines is to offer health-based air quality guideline levels, expressed as long-term or short-term concentrations for six key air pollutants: PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. In addition, the guidelines provide interim targets to guide reduction efforts of these pollutants, as well as good practice statements for the management of certain types of PM (i.e., black carbon/elemental carbon, ultrafine particles, particles originating from sand and duststorms). These guidelines are not legally binding standards; however, they provide WHO Member States with an evidence-informed tool, which they can use to inform legislation and policy. Ultimately, the goal of these guidelines is to help reduce levels of air pollutants in order to decrease the enormous health burden resulting from the exposure to air pollution worldwide.

Principles of Air Quality Management presents the fundamental principles that make up the broad field of air quality, pollution, and management. It is intended for those who have a general interest in the field, as well as those who have been involved in possibly only one or two of the specific aspects of air quality management. The book provides an understanding of the principles that govern our ability to manage air quality resources. It brings together in one volume current information on clean fuels, control technology, health effects, regulations, indoor air quality, global concerns, sources of criteria and hazardous air pollutants, atmospheric dispersion and modeling, air quality standards, risk assessments of air toxics, and trends. Beginning with the make-up of air and definitions of air and air pollution, this book outlines the history of air quality management, discussing emissions, standards, classifications of pollutants, and the production of secondary air pollution or photochemical smog.The discussion continues with the health effects of air pollutants and those that are considered toxic or hazardous, and the effects of those contaminants on the human body. Air pollutant damage to materials and vegetation, the standards of acceptable air quality from a health impacts outlook, and the techniques for measuring air quality are also reviewed. Air contaminant sources are approached from anthropogenic, geogenic, and biogenic viewpoints. From local, regional, and global perspectives, the book examines how contaminants are dispersed between sources and receptors. From these studies, an evaluation is made of the different models used to calculate dispersion and of the models used to predict ambient air quality. Federal laws and regulations, as well as regional perspectives, are summarized and evaluated. Control technologies available for both stationary sources and mobile sources are reviewed. From these sources, management options for limiting emissions and optimizing air pollutant strategies are analyzed. Also included is the latest data from the Auto/Oil Program on the impact of fuel reformulation on engine tailpipe emissions, the conclusions of the MECCA group on global warming, the findings of the California Healthy Building Pilot Study on indoor air quality, and the requirements for federal permits under the Clean Air Act Amendments. Global air quality concerns, relative global emissions, and alternative views are evaluated from a management options perspective. The book concludes with a presentation of indoor air quality and future trends in air quality management approaches, as well as their limitations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.
