Title: Acidic deposition: State of science and technology. Report 22. Direct health effects of air pollutants associated with acidic precursor emissions. Final report

Abstract

The paper is divided into five sections. The first section, the Introduction, presents the background and rationale for selection of the key pollutants to be included, the criteria for selection of studies for discussion in the other sections, and major issues common to the selected pollutants. The section is intended to facilitate understanding of material presented in later sections and to avoid excess duplication. Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 describe the health effects, air quality, ambient exposures, and risk estimates. Section 6 summarizes and integrates the key issues within Sections 2 through 5 and presents conclusions and health risk estimates. Section 7 briefly describes outstanding knowledge gaps and suggests the research targeted to resolve them. Section 8 contains the references. The front matter contains definitions of the key terms used.
