HEALTH EFFECTS OF HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS

“Toxic air pollutants, also known as hazardous air pollutants, are those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental effects. EPA is working with state, local, and tribal governments to reduce air toxics releases of 187 pollutants

(Reference: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/188polls.html

to the environment.”

The list of hazardous air pollutants was combined with Google Web Searches filetype:ppt +health  was created in late June, 2009 in an effort to locate anciallary lecture materials in Environmental Health by Eric Marler M.D. at
