Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ontario Ministry of the Environment is proposing ambient air quality criteria and point of impingement standards for 18 chemicals found in air emissions. The standards have been developed in consultation with stakeholders and considering submissions from interested parties. This document presents detailed rationales for each of the 18 standards. For each chemical, information is included on its properties, uses, sources & levels in the environment, environmental fate, toxicology, and existing air quality criteria, along with a summary of stakeholder responses, an overview of the next phase of the Ministry's standard-setting process, considerations for standards development, the recommended standards, and a guide for stakeholder response to the proposed standards. The chemicals covered in this document are acrylonitrile, ammonia, chlorine, chloroform, ethyl benzene, ethyl ether, n-heptane, n-hexane, hydrogen chloride, isopropyl benzene, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, mineral spirits, propylene oxide, toluene, vinylidene chloride, and xylene.

Download or read book Rethinking the Ozone Problem in Urban and Regional Air Pollution written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite more than 20 years of regulatory efforts, concern is widespread that ozone pollution in the lower atmosphere, or troposphere, threatens the health of humans, animals, and vegetation. This book discusses how scientific information can be used to develop more effective regulations to control ozone. Rethinking the Ozone Problem in Urban and Regional Air Pollution discusses: The latest data and analysis on how tropospheric ozone is formed. How well our measurement techniques are functioning. Deficiencies in efforts to date to control the problem. Approaches to reducing ozone precursor emissions that hold the most promise. What additional research is needed. With a wealth of technical information, the book discusses atmospheric chemistry, the role of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ozone formation, monitoring and modeling the formation and transport processes, and the potential contribution of alternative fuels to solving the tropospheric ozone problem. The committee discusses criteria for designing more effective ozone control efforts. Because of its direct bearing on decisions to be made under the Clean Air Act, this book should be of great interest to environmental advocates, industry, and the regulatory community as well as scientists, faculty, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between economic growth and the environment is at the forefront of public attention and poses serious challenges for policymakers around the world. Economic Analysis of Environmental Policy, a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, provides a rigorous and thorough explanation of modern environmental economics, applying this exposition to contemporary issues and policy analysis. Opening with a discussion of contemporary pollution problems, institutional players and the main policy instruments at our disposal, Ross McKitrick develops core theories of environmental valuation and optimal control of pollution. Chapters that follow cover issues like tradable permits, regulatory standards, emission taxes, and polluter liability as well as advanced topics like trade and the environment, sustainability, risk, inequality, and self-monitoring. Throughout, McKitrick uses clear, intuitive, and coherent analytical tools, so that students, academics, and practitioners can develop their policy analysis skills while comprehending the debates and challenges at the frontier of this exciting and rapidly-developing field.
