🗑
conventional or criteria pollutants (6)   show
🗑
dominant sources of most criteria pollutants (2)   show
🗑
ambient air   show
🗑
show designated new air quality standards, to be applied equally across the country, for six major pollutants.  
🗑
Anthropogenic   show
🗑
unconventional pollutants (def)   show
🗑
show asbestos, benzene, beryllium, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and vinyl chloride.  
🗑
point source   show
🗑
show are released in aa harmful form  
🗑
show hazardous after reactions in the air.  
🗑
Fugitive or nonpoint-source   show
🗑
show ground level ozone is highly reactive oxidizing agent that damages eyes, lungs, and plant tissues, as well as paint, rubber, and plastics. It is a secondary pollutant, created by chemical reactions that are initiated by solar energy  
🗑
show dust, ash, soot, lint, smoke, pollen, spores, algal cells, and many other suspended materials like aerosols.  
🗑
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs),   show
🗑
how Air pollutants can travel   show

🗑
dust dome.   show
🗑
show Chemical reactions of atmospheric gases and pollution produce the phenomenon  
🗑
show naturally-occurring gas that filters sun's (UV) radiation. This is typically regarded as 'good' ozone since it reduces the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation. A diminished ozone layer allows more radiation to reach the Earth's surface.  
🗑
show primarily chlorine-based aerosols, including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) (p. 239).  
🗑
show is 1:25 as of 2010.  
🗑
show The mainly saved costs are from reduced illness and property damage with an increase in productivity  
🗑
organic compounds have decreased the least   show
🗑
conventional pollutants that have decreased the most   show
🗑
ambient ozone   show
🗑
indoor air pollutants that are hazardous to health   show
🗑
show are asbestos, benzene, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and vinyl chloride  
🗑
