Information on the Four Corners Ozone Task Force Overview The Air Quality Bureau operates two monitoring stations in San Juan County that measure ozone, a colorless gas that can cause respiratory distress and other health impacts at elevated levels. Since the installation of these monitors, we have measured concentrations that approach one of the federal health-based standards. These measurements were unexpectedly high for a rural area. Most areas with high ground-level ozone concentrations are densely-populated cities. If ozone concentrations in San Juan County exceed the federal ozone standards, the New Mexico Environment Department would have to implement a plan to reduce air pollution in order to protect public health. This plan would affect businesses and individuals in San Juan and possibly adjacent counties. This would have a significant economic impact for the area, so we are focusing resources to determine causes and solutions to this problem so that the ozone concentrations in San Juan County will not increase.

Four modules have been developed. The Stratospheric Ozone and Global Land Vegetation modules are ready for use and have been reviewed by the NASA Earth Science Enterprise Education Product Review Committee. The Oceanography and Polar Sea Ice Processes modules are currently under review. PROJECT DESIGN Target Audience Class Subjects Modular Design ... Computer Lab Resources PROJECT DESIGN: STUDYING EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT FROM SPACE (SEES) Satellite images of Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere have proved to be valuable tools for studying the complexity of Earth's environmental systems. Earth observing satellites are routinely used to monitor rapidly changing weather, El Nino-Southern Oscillation phenomena in the Pacific Ocean, ocean currents, land and oceanic vegetation, polar sea ice distribution, and stratospheric ozone depletion. Rarely, however, do students have the opportunity to access and manipulate such data for scientific inquiry into Earth Science. Teaching faculty may find incorporating satellite data into their science curriculum difficult because of the technical complexity of the data, the computer hardware and software required to process the data, the diverse ocean and atmosphere processes illustrated by the satellite data, and little available time during the academic year to develop a new curriculum.

108. TDEC: Air Pollution Control: Ozone Early Action Compact On July 18, 1997, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the This new standard is commonly referred to as the 8hour ozone standard. http://www.state.tn.us/environment/apc/eac/

Skip to Content. Home Air Water ... State Parks Main content begins below. Governor's Executive Order on Air Quality Nonattainment: Facts and Myths Media Releases Planning Documents ... APC Home Background The Early Action Compact (EAC) serves as a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) among government agencies representing, collectively, local governments, state governments, including the Tennessee Air Pollution Control Board (TAPCB), and EPA. It is for the express purpose of commitment to EPA’s "Protocol for Early Action Compacts Designed to Achieve and Maintain the 8-Hour Ozone Standard". This "Protocol" allows for early voluntary 8-hour air quality improvement plans to be developed through a "Compact" between Local, State, and EPA officials for areas that are in attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard, but approach or monitor exceedances of the 8-hour standard. Based on preliminary data for 2000 through 2002 a number of areas may not be in attainment of the 8-hour ozone standard. Thus, the areas are eligible and good candidates for Early Action Compacts. The EAC requires the development of an early action plan that includes all necessary elements of a comprehensive air quality plan, but is tailored to local needs and driven by local decisions. As long as all Compact terms and milestones are met, the effective date of non-attainment designations is deferred, as are related requirements. The early action approach will offer a more expeditious timeline for achieving emissions reductions than EPA’s expected 8-hour implementation rulemaking, while providing "fail-safe" provisions for the area to revert to the traditional State Implementation Plan (SIP) process if specific milestones are not met. Currently, EPA plans to make the designations for the 8-hour ozone standard in 2004.

CIESIN Thematic Guides OZONE DEPLETION AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Welcome to the CIESIN thematic guide on ozone depletion issues. The purpose of this guide is to help you find selected key documents that pertain to the issue of ozone depletion: causes, human and environmental effects, and policy responses. The 1985 report of the discovery of an "ozone hole" over Antarctica focused attention on the idea that humans can have a significant impact on the global environment. This discovery, along with evidence that ozone is being lost at nearly all latitudes outside the tropics, has prompted much research into the causes of ozone depletion and the biological effects of increased ultraviolet radiation exposure. The potential effects on humans and the environment have led to international resolutions designed to gradually phase out production of ozone-depleting substances. As a result, the scientific and industrial communities have collaborated to find safe and economical replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the manmade chemicals implicated in ozone loss. This guide contains an Overview that provides general background on key concepts and issues related to ozone depletion. In addition, four subsections explore selected topics in greater detail:

Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food The Ozone Layer Ozone (O ) is present in trace amounts throughout most of the atmosphere but is most abundant in the stratosphere. There is a thin layer of ozone about 15 to 40 km above the Earth's surface, which plays an important role by filtering harmful solar rays. At any given place, the ozone layer varies in size with the seasons, because ozone is produced when solar energy reacts with oxygen molecules, and solar energy varies with the seasons. Because the greatest seasonal variations in solar energy occur at the poles, fluctuations in the ozone layer are also greatest in the stratosphere over the poles. Variations in the amount of ozone are also linked with periodic changes in atmospheric winds, volcanic and solar sunspot activity. There are continual photochemical reactions in the stratosphere because of the influx of short-wave radiation. Ozone is continually created and destroyed in catalytic reactions with oxides of hydrogen, nitrogen, and chlorine. In the 1970s, scientists observed a thinning in the ozone layer over Antarctica, colloquially and inaccurately, called an "ozone hole" and concerns arose that emissions from human activities were implicated in ozone depletion. In particular, the concern was that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which had been widely used as refrigerants and in aerosols because they are inert and non-toxic, might be capable of depleting the ozone layer. Scientists M. J. Molina and F.S. Rowland demonstrated in their lab that CFCs could be broken down by ultraviolet light in the atmosphere and that the chlorine released could break down ozone molecules.

Ozone and Asthma Asthma is one of our nation's most common chronic health conditions, and it is on the rise. Asthma usually begins in childhood. As children grow older, asthma can increase or decrease in severity, resolve, or recur. Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs. Once the airways in the lungs begin to swell, breathing becomes difficult. People with asthma are often short of breath and have a feeling of tightness in the chest. Some triggers of an asthma attack include, but are not limited to, cigarette smoke, cockroaches, dust mites, mold, animals, pollen, cold air, exercise, stress, and respiratory infections. Research programs in this area focus on understanding the link between the environment and genetic susceptibility to asthma and other respiratory diseases. National Allergen Survey Cumulative exposures to indoor allergens can increase a child's risk for developing asthma and allergic diseases. For this reason, the NIEHS has teamed with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct a
