Abstract | This Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) synthesizes and evaluates the most policy-relevant science to help form the scientific foundation for the review of the secondary (welfare-based) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and sulfur oxides (SOX). The Clean Air Act (CAA) definition of welfare effects includes, but is not limited to, effects on soils, water, wildlife, vegetation, visibility, weather, and climate, as well as effects on materials, economic values, and personal comfort and well-being. The intent of the ISA, according to the CAA, is to accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge expected from the presence of (a) pollutant in ambient air (U.S. Code, 1970a, 1970b). It includes scientific research from atmospheric sciences, exposure and deposition, biogeochemistry, hydrology, soil science, marine science, plant physiology, animal physiology, and ecology conducted at multiple scales (e.g., population, community, ecosystem, landscape levels). |
