Introduction Criteria Air Pollutants:
Review: NAAQS from CAA Primary standards Secondary standards
Hazardous Air Pollutants: Hg, dioxins, etc Regulated under 1990 CAA Amendments
Some other important welfare aspects Bioaerosols, Fluorides May not have specific regulations
What are welfare effects?

Decreased visibility National parks
Sequoia one of worst polluted parks Decline of CA pines from O3 Pesticides Water acidification/eutrophication
Crop and livestock damage CARB estimates 10-20% crop
reduction for grapes, cotton, tomatoes, oranges, alfalfa
CARB estimates by reducing avg O3 to 0.025 ppm from current avg. of ~0.05 ppm, increase in up to 70% of yield for some crops with $1.5 billion in direct benefits
