Air Quality Criteria for Carbon Monoxide

The National Center for Environmental Assessment, of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is undertaking to update and revise, where appropriate, the EPA's Air Quality Criteria for Carbon Monoxide (CO) as required under sections 108 and 109 of the Clean Air Act. Since completion of the 1991 criteria document for carbon monoxide, the EPA has continued to follow the scientific literature and compile information that may be relevant to the next periodic review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for CO (CO NAAQS). Interested parties are invited to assist the EPA in developing and refining its scientific information base to help ensure that all relevant information is considered in updating the Air Quality Criteria for CO. Identification of new information in the following areas will be particularly useful: effects of exposure on laboratory animals and humans; effects on the global climate; chemistry and physics; sources and emissions; transformation and transport in the environment; and ambient concentrations. To be considered for inclusion in the criteria document and in the next periodic review of the CO NAAQS, submitted information should have been published, a
