Issues in Ecology, Issue 14: Setting Limits: Using Air Pollution Thresholds to Protect and Restore U.S. Ecosystems

The purpose of this report is to distill advances in the science of air pollution thresholds and to describe their use to assess, protect and manage the nation’s ecosystems and the vital services they provide. We focus here on the environmental impacts of nitrogen, sulfur, and mercury and refer to connections to climate change. The discussion draws on the published research of hundreds of scientists over the past several decades with a focus on U.S. ecosystems and lessons from Canada and Europe.
