EPA has proposed to revise the existing ozone national ambient air quality standards and add new PM-2.5 standards. Known as fine particulate, PM-2.5 has an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less. The Agency also plans to revise the existing PM-10 (particulate with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less) NAAQS. Along with these proposals, the Dec. 13, 1996, Federal Register contains three additional documents related to NAQS implementation. Together, EPA`s actions represent a huge regulatory burden that will necessitate rewriting large portions of the existing NAAQS program. Included in the NAAQS proposals are a number of alternative standards for which EPA requests public comment. Only the Agency`s preferred standards are discussed in this article.
