Update for the Board on Health Impacts of Fine Particle Components in California |
Staff will report on the results of a recent study in California examining the associations between daily mortality and 19 PM2.5 components, including elemental and organic carbon (EC and OC), nitrates, sulfates, and various metals. Examining the toxicity of components of PM can have important implications for both the establishment of ambient air quality standards and for more targeted PM control strategies. The findings support the hypothesis that combustion-associated pollutants are particularly important in California. | |
