Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Report 16 summarizes the health effects of exposure to the 21 Mobile-Source Air Toxics (MSATs) defined by the 2001 EPA mobile-source rulemaking and critically analyzes the literature for a subset of seven MSATs (acetaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, formaldehyde, naphthalene, and polycyclic organic matter*). The report also assesses and summarizes research gaps and unresolved questions, as understood in the context of the current regulatory agenda. The Report focuses on MSATs for which mobile sources are a sizable source of human exposure and for which existing data suggest that health effects might be observed at concentrations approaching those found in ambient air. For each MSAT, the following questions are addressed: (1) To what extent are mobile sources a significant source of exposure to this MSAT? (2) Does this MSAT affect human health? (3) Does this MSAT affect human health at environmental conditions? Special Report 16 describes a review performed by a Special Panel with expertise in exposure assessment, toxicology, clinical medicine, and epidemiology. The Panel reviewed the peer-reviewed literature on MSATs, reached key conclusions, and made recommendations for future research. The completed report was reviewed by experts in a variety of fields and amended to reflect the useful comments and critiques.
Download or read book The Ongoing Challenge of Managing Carbon Monoxide Pollution in Fairbanks Alaska written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-09-22 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic air pollutant produced largely from vehicle emissions. Breathing CO at high concentrations leads to reduced oxygen transport by hemoglobin, which has health effects that include impaired reaction timing, headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, clouding of consciousness, coma, and, at high enough concentrations and long enough exposure, death. In recognition of those health effects, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as directed by the Clean Air Act, established the health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for CO in 1971. Most areas that were previously designated as "nonattainment" areas have come into compliance with the NAAQS for CO, but some locations still have difficulty in attaining the CO standards. Those locations tend to have topographical or meteorological characteristics that exacerbate pollution. In view of the challenges posed for some areas to attain compliance with the NAAQS for CO, congress asked the National Research Council to investigate the problem of CO in areas with meteorological and topographical problems. This interim report deals specifically with Fairbanks, Alaska. Fairbanks was chosen as a case study because its meteorological and topographical characteristics make it susceptible to severe winter inversions that trap CO and other pollutants at ground level.
Download or read book Mobile Toxics Human Health Risk Assessment Framework written by Mohammad Munshed and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emissions from passenger cars, buses, commercial trucks, and motorcycles operated on highways, streets, and roads are major contributors to air pollution. Research led by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) identified more than 1000 air toxic compounds in exhaust and evaporative emissions from on-road mobile sources. Under a federal mandate, the U.S. EPA is obligated to regulate the emissions of 187 pollutants, known as Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) or air toxics. HAPs emitted from mobile sources are called Mobile Source Air Toxics (MSATs). Compounds within a subgroup of these MSATs are identified by the U.S. EPA as being carcinogens. Additionally, MSATs cause noncancer serious health effects such as tumor formation, cardiovascular disease, damage to the immune system, neurological disorders, reproductive disorders, and respiratory problems. The U.S. EPA estimates approximately half of the cancer risk from air toxics is attributed to mobile sources, whereas, 74 % of noncancer health impacts from air toxics are a result of exposure to emissions from mobile sources. The quantification of these risk risks associated with MSATs remains limited to date. Only 20 of the MSATs have ambient air quality standards to protect human health. This work presents a novel and validated approach to quantify the myriad health risks associated with on-road mobile emissions. This approach is introduced in the form of a pipelined analysis process, which may be employed in existing and new road projects. The result of this research is a new approach to provide regulators and risk analysts a more detailed awareness of the health impacts of these MSATs in current and future contexts. A distinguished feature between this framework and conventional analysis is providing the handshake between the different models that generate the on-road mobile source emission inventories, conduct the air dispersion modeling, and run the risk engine to calculate the risk estimates. Furthermore, this framework will overcome existing limitations such as roadway geometry characterization in different models.

Download or read book WHO global air quality guidelines written by Weltgesundheitsorganisation and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
