Summary
The problem of air pollution control can be approached via two alternative though not mutually exclusive policies: management of emissions and management of air quality. In the former, emphasis is placed on the technology for control of effluents. Air quality management, on the other hand, entails the establishment of air quality goals based upon stated criteria or public policies. Emissions are then limited to the extent necessary to attain and maintain such goals. In the Clean Air Act of 1967, the amendments of 1970, and the most recently proposed amendments of 1976, the U.S. Congress has consistently endorsed a national policy of air quality management. The need within the national air pollution control program for a guidance document on air quality analysis persists. The EPA/Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has been given the responsibility for developing the requisite Guideline. The federal EPA and the states had to fulfill the important air quality management responsibilitiesemploying the state-of-the-art in analytical methods, the conferees were challenged to advise EPA on the best available approaches to modeling air quality impacts and to concur with or where possible recommend improvements to the many aspects of the problem addressed in the Guideline.
