Assessing Causality from a Multidisciplinary Evidence Base for National Ambient Air Quality Standards

Completed

Topics

A committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will consider frameworks to assess causality of health and welfare effects of air pollutants in EPA’s Integrated Science Assessments (ISAs) conducted as part of EPA reviews of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Advances for integrating scientific evidence will be assessed, and issues concerning confounders, the most useful types of evidence for causal determinations, and whether a single framework for assessing causality is applicable to both health and welfare effects will be considered. Recommendations regarding the development and use of future ISA frameworks and priority research will be described.
