Chapter 3 provides information on the chemistry, sources, emissions, measurement, and transport of O and related photochemical oxidants and their precursors, whereas Chapter 4 covers environmental concentrations, patterns, and exposure estimates of O and oxidants. Chapter 5 deals with environmental effects, and Chapters 6, 7, and 8 discuss animal toxicological studies, human health effects, and extrapolation of animal toxicological data to humans, respectively. The last chapter, Chapter 9, provides an integrative, interpretative characterization of health effects associated with exposure to Ozone . The sections of the Summary conform to the chapter organization of the criteria document. (45 pages) |
