Key scientific findings and policy- and health-relevant insights from the US. Environmental Protection Agency's Particulate Matter Supersites Program and related studies: an integration and synthesis of results
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Las Vegas, NV (United States). Office of Research and Development
Over 400 peer-reviewed journal articles and likely more than 1000 presentations resulted from the research conducted through EPA's PM Supersites Program. From the start, the program was developed with a policy focus - providing new information on the accumulation and sources of PM in air on urban and regional scales that might allow for the development of more effective approaches to reducing ambient concentrations of PM to below NAAQS levels. This paper synthesizes and integrates the atmospheric sciences findings from which are interpreted a series of policy-relevant and health-relevant insights developed to support policy decisions on approaches to reduce PM in air and to assist the health-effects and exposure science communities with future research planning. 548 refs., 10 figs., 13 tabs.
