After carefully reviewing the existing mathematical approaches that have been utilized for describing pollutant exposures, the authors have developed a mathematical parameter which (a) utilizes readily available data, and (b) provides a description of concentration, frequency, and duration. The application of the parameter makes possible the utilization of key monitoring data for establishing (a) ozone trend patterns; (b) mathematical equations describing health effects; and (c) mathematical relationships describing crop yield reductions. |
