This guide to smog alert response begins with a section on the basics of an effective smog response program. It provides a rationale for program development, indicates the role of municipalities, outlines the development of a smog alert response plan, and notes related activities that can be implemented outside of the traditional smog season. Section 2 reviews how to expand the scope, influence, & impact of smog response programs through such initiatives as community outreach & education, partnerships, research, and linkages with other municipal priorities. Section 3 highlights examples of municipal actions across Ontario which may be of interest to those engaged in the process of smog alert response. Section 4 covers the science of smog, including smog constituents & their characteristics, smog precursors, the relationship of smog to geography and meteorology, and how smog is monitored & reported in Ontario. The final section presents a sample municipal operational plan and a resource kit for municipalities that includes sample policies, contracts, by-laws, newsletters, & promotional materials.

When unacceptably high levels of ground-level ozone are present or expected, the ministry issues official smog alerts. The 1st section of this guide outlines how municipalities can take effective action by putting local smog response programs in place. It includes information on developing a smog alert response policy, staff training, and maintaining awareness. The 2nd section contains useful information on air quality and smog, including the harmful effects of smog, its major sources and components, and the relationship between smog and the weather. A list of practical smog alert workplace actions in included.

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.

Incineration has been used widely for waste disposal, including household, hazardous, and medical wasteâ€"but there is increasing public concern over the benefits of combusting the waste versus the health risk from pollutants emitted during combustion. Waste Incineration and Public Health informs the emerging debate with the most up-to-date information available on incineration, pollution, and human healthâ€"along with expert conclusions and recommendations for further research and improvement of such areas as risk communication. The committee provides details on: Processes involved in incineration and how contaminants are released. Environmental dynamics of contaminants and routes of human exposure. Tools and approaches for assessing possible human health effects. Scientific concerns pertinent to future regulatory actions. The book also examines some of the social, psychological, and economic factors that affect the communities where incineration takes place and addresses the problem of uncertainty and variation in predicting the health effects of incineration processes.

Legionnaires' disease, a pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacterium, is the leading cause of reported waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States. Legionella occur naturally in water from many different environmental sources, but grow rapidly in the warm, stagnant conditions that can be found in engineered water systems such as cooling towers, building plumbing, and hot tubs. Humans are primarily exposed to Legionella through inhalation of contaminated aerosols into the respiratory system. Legionnaires' disease can be fatal, with between 3 and 33 percent of Legionella infections leading to death, and studies show the incidence of Legionnaires' disease in the United States increased five-fold from 2000 to 2017. Management of Legionella in Water Systems reviews the state of science on Legionella contamination of water systems, specifically the ecology and diagnosis. This report explores the process of transmission via water systems, quantification, prevention and control, and policy and training issues that affect the incidence of Legionnaires' disease. It also analyzes existing knowledge gaps and recommends research priorities moving forward.
