Regulatory Action Levels by Regulatory Requirement and Action Statusa,b

a  

Information from EPA. Action levels for H2S include total reduced sulfur. VOCs and NOx are precursors to ozone formation.

b  

Abbreviations: Att. = Attainment; Const. = Construction; Mod. = Modification; Reg. = Regulatory; Req. = Requirement; Sig. = Significant; Unc. = Unclassifiable. For other definitions see Appendix B.
