Federal Clean Air Act Requirements
National Ambient Air Quality Standards(NAAQS) Protect public health (primary) Protect property (secondary) Monitor ambient air quality Violating standards triggers nonattainment
Governor recommends nonattainmentarea boundaries; EPA establishes later by rule Nonattainment redesignation requires thestate to submit a plan to achieve healthful airquality within 18 months

Health and Welfare Impacts of PM2.5
Premature death from heart or lung disease Fine particles can aggravate heart and lungdiseases - effects such as cardiovascularsymptoms, cardiac arrhythmias, heartattacks, respiratory symptoms, asthmaattacks, and bronchitisCan result in increased hospital admissions,emergency room visits, absences from schoolor work, and restricted activity days Particularly sensitive: people with heart orlung disease, older adults, and children
