NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards) Exposure Model (NEM) Applied to Carbon Monoxide

摘要

This report presents a version of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) Exposure Model (NEM) suitable for assessing carbon monoxide (CO) exposure and presents the results of applying it to CO. NEM is a simulation model that simulates the intersection of a population with pollutant concentrations over space and time to estimate exposures that would obtain if various alternative NAAQS were just met. Estimates are presented for adults with cardiovascular disease in four urban study areas and for a nationwide extrapolation.
