DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Managing the nation's air quality is a complex undertaking, involving tens of thousands of people in regulating thousands of pollution sources. The authors identify what has worked and what has not, and they offer wide-ranging recommendations for setting future priorities, making difficult choices, and increasing innovation. This new book explores how to better integrate scientific advances and new technologies into the air quality management system. The volume reviews the three-decade history of governmental efforts toward cleaner air, discussing how air quality standards are set and results measured, the design and implementation of control strategies, regulatory processes and procedures, special issues with mobile pollution sources, and more. The book looks at efforts to spur social and behavioral changes that affect air quality, the effectiveness of market-based instruments for air quality regulation, and many other aspects of the issue. Rich in technical detail, this book will be of interest to all those engaged in air quality management: scientists, engineers, industrial managers, law makers, regulators, health officials, clean-air advocates, and concerned citizens.

Trends are presented for the long term for the 10-year period from 1986-1995, and for the short term (changes over the past year). In addition to air quality trends from data collected at monitoring stations across the country, trends in annual nationwide emissions are also presented. Emission trends are estimated using the best available engineering calculations. Related topics are also included: visibility, air toxics, non-attainment areas, and trends in MSAs. Includes a substantial appendix of data tables. Comprehensive!
