Description:
Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEG's) are levels of significant contaminants or degradents (in ambient air, water, or land or in emissions of effluents conveyed to the ambient media) that are judged to be (1) appropriate for preventing certain negative effects in the surrounding populations or ecosystems, or (2) representative of the control limits achievable through technology. MEG's are projected for more than 650 pollutants. Volumes III and IV address 586 organic compounds. This volume relates to the following categories: Aliphatic Hydrocarbons; Alkyl Halides; Ethers; Halogenated Ethers and Epoxides; Alcohols; Glycols, Epoxides; Aldehydes, Ketones; Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives; Nitriles; Amines; Azo Compounds, Hydrazine Derivatives; Nitrosamines.
