(1) Hydrocarbons are a group of substances most of which, normally, are toxic only at concentrations in the order of several hundred parts per million. However, a number of hydrocarbons can react photochemically at very low concentrations to produce irritating and toxic substances. Because of the large number of hydrocarbons involved, the complexity of the photochemical reactions and the reactivity of other compounds such as nitrogen dioxide and ozone, it is not yet possible to establish "serious" and "emergency" levels for hydrocarbons. From the public health standpoint, the concentration of those hydrocarbons which react photochemically should be maintained at or below the level associated with the oxidant index defined in the "adverse" standard.
(2) Ozone, at 1 ppm for eight hours daily for about a year has produced bronchiolitis and fibrositis in rodents. Extropolation of these data to man is difficult. Functional impairment data have been reported; at 1.25 ppm some effect is observed on residual volume and diffusing capacity. The variability of the tests was not reported. Additional data would be needed before a standard is set.
(3) A value of 2.0 ppm of ozone for one hour may produce serious interference with function in health persons and the assumption is made that this might cause acute illness in sensitive persons.
(4) Nitrogen dioxide, at concentrations above 2.5 ppm. causes acute damage to sensitive plants. One ppm for eight hours will produce significant growth reduction, expressed as fresh and dry weight, with no visible lesions of damage. High levels (150-220 ppm) in short exposures produce fibrotic changes in the lungs of man that may end fatally.
(5) Given certain assumptions concerning ventilatory rates, acute sickness might result from a carbon monoxide level of 240 ppm for one hour in sensitive groups because of inactivation of ten percent of the body's hemoglobin. In any event it is clear that when a population exposure limit has been set for carbon monoxide, because of exposure from other sources, community air pollution standards should be based on some fraction of this limit.
(6) Hydrogen sulfide is not known to produce chronic disease in humans but there may be durable sequelae from acute exposures. The disagreeable odor my interfere with appetite in sensitive groups of persons at about 5 ppm. At high concentrations loss of the sense of smell occurs. This has been reported at 100 ppm for exposure lasting two to fifteen minutes. Conjunctivitis and mild respiratory tract irritation have been reported at levels of 50-100 ppm for one hour.
(7) Acute sickness and death with neurotoxicity may occur at concentrations of several hundred ppm. It is very unlikely these levels will occur in community air pollution.
(8) A sulfuric acid mist level of 1 mg/M super3 with an average particle size of 1 micron will produce a respiratory response in man. It is not possible to generalize from this fro all air pollution conditions, because under natural conditions, particle size will vary. Only with large droplets would sensory irritation be produced without other physiological effects.
(9) A level of 5 mg/M super3 of sulfuric acid mist for a few minutes produces coughing and irritation in normal individuals. Presumable, it could cause acute illness in sensitive groups of persons in a period of one hour.
(10) Carcinogens include a few organic compounds such as some polycyclic hydrocarbons and some metals such as arsenic and chromium. Studies on effects of such substances are currently under way, but there are not sufficient data, at present, to set standards. In the meantime, it is recommended that concentrations of carcinogens in air should be kept as low as possible.
(11) Hydrogen fluoride and other airborne fluorides settle upon and some are absorbed into vegetation. When forage crops containing 30-50 ppm of fluoride measured on a dry weight basis are regularly consumed over a long period the teeth and bones of cattle may show changes, depending on age, nutritional factors and the form of fluoride ingested. Such changes may or may not have any economic effect. Fluroides at these levels do not necessarily cause injury to the forage plants themselves. However, injury may be produced in certain species of vegetation upon long term exposure to low levels of atmospheric fluorides.
(12) The irritating properties of hydrogen fluoride in experimental human exposure have been manifested by desquamation of the skin, at concentrations of 2-5 ppm. mucous membrane irritation also occurs from hydorgen fluorides but quantitative data are not adequate to support a standard.
(13) It is clear that lead levels should be set on the basis of average values for long periods. While data are abundant concerning human response to eight-hours-a-day, five-days-a-week expsoures, data are insufficient for the effects of the continuous exposure inherent in community air pollution. While laboratory studies will be pursued with vigor, it becomes very important that local agencies collect data on existing lead levels. Since lead exposures are from multiple sources, community air pollution standards should be based ona portion of the total limit for population exposure.
