Earth & Life Studies at the National Academies' Report "Estimating Mortality Risk Reduction and Economic Benefits from Controlling Ozone Air Pollution" The report concludes that short-term exposure to current levels of ozone in many areas contributes to premature deaths...The report also concludes that if ozone has a threshold -- a concentration of ozone below which exposure poses no risk of death--it is probably at a concentration below the current public health standard." |
