註釋

This report discusses some of the causes of local and atmospheric air pollution problems and their general effects on human health and the environment; details the sources, emissions, levels, and environmental and human health effects of the six common air pollutants (airborne particulates, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone, and hydrocarbons); describes the characteristics of toxic air pollutants and illustrates them by a single chemical or class of chemicals, by polluting activity and by geographical area; examines such important regional and global air pollution issues as acid rain, pollution in the Arctic, depletion of ozone in the stratosphere, global warming, and radioactivity; and discusses the significance of air pollution problems to the public and the efforts of the government to prevent air pollution through legislation.
