Abstract
Ozone (O3) is one of six principal (or criteria) pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. The Clean Air Act requires EPA to periodically review the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical and policy assessments, provide the scientific basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of possible alternative standards. These reviews play a significant role in EPA’s commitment to ensuring a clean and healthy environment for the public.
