Order Description
\nWrite a one page paper and complete the worksheet. Below are the instructions:<\/p>\n
Ambient air quality is one aspect of the environment that is not modifiable for many people. Everyone breathes, and it is often not possible to avoid polluted air. Laws protecting against harmful levels of outdoor air pollutants have been developed to mitigate exposures. The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) website describes the six criteria pollutants regulated under the federal Clean Air Act. The NAAQS site describes the health consequences associated with each criteria pollutant, any sensitive populations, and identifies when standards were last reviewed and\/or changed. As you review the site, note the terminology surrounding ambient air quality and regulation of pollutants, such as primary and secondary standards, attainment, and implementation.
\nFor this Assignment, use the Air Quality Standards worksheet provided. You will evaluate health consequences relating to air pollution, determine how air quality is monitored, discriminate between air quality standards, and assess the rationale behind them. As you complete the Assignment, ponder whether air quality standards really are standard.
\nSubmit the Air Quality Standards Worksheet. Your Instructor uses the rubric embedded in the Air Quality Standards Worksheet to assess this Assignment.
