In the study reported here, a plan for air pollution research was developed for the Texas Gulf Coast Area. This report is Volume II of a five part series of reports documenting that plan and is specifically directed at presenting a plan for health effects studies. Available aerometric, health effects, demographic, and meteorologic data as well as other inputs resulting from public meetings were reviewed and considered in development of the plan. Documentation begins with a general assessment of area populations, air quality, and relevant health effects. Questions are addressed which must be answered in accomplishing a plan for health effects studies. The plan begins with detailed discussion of the general research needs of the area regarding health effects and presents a set of hypotheses which need to be addressed with specific studies. The plan culminates with description of twelve types of studies considered to be most useful in providing definitive answers. Relative priorities, time sequencing, and rough cost estimates are provided with the study descriptions.
