Description:
In recognition of the important and somewhat controversial nature of the oxidant control problem, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) organized and conducted a 5-day International Conference in September 1976. The more than one hundred presentations and discussions at the Conference revealed the existence of several issues and prompted the EPA to sponsor a follow-up review/analysis effort. The follow-up effort was designed to review carefully and impartially, to analyze relevant evidence and viewpoints reported at the International Conference (and elsewhere), and to attempt to resolve some of the oxidant-related scientific issues. The review/analysis was conducted by experts (who did not work for the EPA or for industry) of widely recognized competence and experience in the area of photochemical pollution occurrence and control. Part I of the overall effort is an explanatory analysis of the problem and definition of key issues, as viewed within the research component of the EPA. Parts II through VIII are written by expert reviewers offering either resolutions of issues or recommendations for additional research needed to achieve such resolution.
