Air Quality Working Group

The Air Quality Working Group will design the air quality dimension of a core national indicator on chemicals of concern for the 2007 edition of the State of the Nation's Ecosystems. The Working Group is charged with selecting the suite of chemicals that pose the greatest risks to human and ecosystem health and should, therefore, be included in the report. In addition, the Working Group will need to identify reporting strategies that convey essential information and are consistent with the overall report framework.
