Under the terms of the Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended in 1990, the Environmental Protection Agency is required to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for pollutants considered to be hazardous to public health and the environment. These standards are of two types primary and secondary. Primary standards apply to "sensitive" members of the population, including the elderly, young children, and people who have respiratory disorders. Secondary standards apply to the general public and include risks to other parts of the environment, including visibility, animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings. [Pg.51]

The developed modelling system can be used to plan field campaigns, interpret measurements, and provide the capacity for forecasting oxidants, particulate matter and toxics. Also, it can be used to provide guidance to evaluate exposure studies for people, animals, crops and forests, and possibly for epidemiological studies. [Pg.56]

Insecticides are the pesticides most commonly known by the public. Insects are not only a nuisance in everyday life they pose a real danger to man, animals, crops, and the environment in general. In agriculture, insecticides are used widely to control insects in fruits, vegetables, rice, and other cereals. Other application areas are on farm animals, animal housing, and to control insects that are vectors of diseases. Mosquitoes (for malaria) and tsetse flies (for sleeping sickness) are just two examples. Control of these insects is a never-ending task, especially in hot and humid countries. [Pg.390]

Absorption experiments in which the fraction of a known amount of a zinc tracer, usually Zn, crossing the intestinal wall is measured. The tracer can be added as an inorganic salt and mixed into the diet very thoroughly this is extrinsic labelling. Or the label can be incorporated into the growing piant or animal crop and thus into the processed foodstuff this is Intrinsic labelling. [Pg.548]

National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Criteria Pollutants (NAAQS) http //www.epa. gov/air/criteria.httnl (accessed October 15, 2010). The Clean Air Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Qnality Standards for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. The Clean Air Act established two types of national air quality standards. Primary standards set limits to protect public health, including the health of sensitive populations, and Secondary standards set limits to protect public welfare, including protection against decreased visibility, damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings. [Pg.304]
