The standards set to control the level of SO/sub 2/ in the atmosphere may not be having a proportionate effect on the formation of air-borne sulfates and sulfites and thus may not be protecting us from their harmful effects. The relationship of SO/sub 2/ levels to sulfate and sulfite concentrations is a much more complex issue than is recognized by existing regulations.
