Program problem areas standardization

As mentioned, nonattainment areas will have to implement different control measures, depending on their classification. Marginal areas, for example, are the closest to meeting the standard. They will be required to conduct an inventory of their ozone-causing emissions and institute a permit program. Nonattainment areas with more serious air quality problems must implement various control measures. The worse the air quality, the more controls areas will have to implement. 

Quality control of acellular pertussis vaccines presents particular problems related to the various methods used for preparation of the active components, the different compositions of the final formulations, and different amounts of antigen. Researchers in the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control in the UK have presented a strategy capable of addressing the key problem areas likely to be encountered with all existing types of acellular pertussis vaccines and combinations (2). Their proposal could be considered as a starting point for improvement of quality control programs for these vaccines. 

The Mulford-Carrell Act of 1967 dissolved the Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board in California and created the Air Resources Board that was provided with broad powers and authority and with the ultimate responsibility of controlling air pollution in California. The California Air Resources Board divided the State into eleven air basins, areas with similar meteorological, topographical, and air pollution problems. Ambient-air quality standards were adopted which apply to all of these basins. The enforcing of these standards is still primarily a function of local go /emment, but emission control programs of local agencies have to be s ibmitted to and approved by the State Board.
