What are the research goals of the Clean Air Research Program?
Two long-term research goals provide focus for the Clean Air Research Program. • Reduce scientific uncertainty in setting air pollution standards and air quality management decisions with advances in air pollution science. This goal includes: • Health effects research on PM and specific hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) to support EPA’s mandatory reviews of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and hazard assessments. • Research to characterize and estimate source emissions, including major stationary and mobile sources as well as non-road vehicles, airports, seaports, and natural or agricultural environments • Research to improve the understanding of the links of health and environmental effects to air pollution sources. • Reduce scientific uncertainties in linking health and environmental effects to air pollution sources to support effective air quality management strategies. This goal includes: • Research that links the source of air pollution to health outcomes from a multi-poll
