Abstract
Given the LRT of ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM) discussed in previous chapters, this chapter reviews the literature on the impacts of that LRT on human health, ecosystems, and climate. Concerns over human health and ecosystems have been the major drivers for air pollution regulations. In addition, O3 and PM are important for climate, so actions to reduce emissions relevant for O3 and PM will also influence climate. Other impacts of the LRT of O3 and PM that are not addressed in this chapter include the degradation of visibility (mainly due to PM) and damage to materials [U.S. EPA, 2006; 2009b].
