Abstract:
"The data have been presented in forms that can best permit evaluations of health implications. Alternatively, the data help us identify gaps in knowledge that need to be filled before such evaluations can be made. The pollutant classes are examined from viewpoints such as measurement and source characterization, habitat studies, health effects, risk analysis, and future needs."--Provided by publisher.
