| In this area, we provide summaries of ongoing and completed
research projects as well as final reports. |
|
| Acid
Deposition |
| In this area we present the findings of the two comprehensive,
State-funded research programs which studied the causes and effects of acid deposition in California. |
| Children’s
School Bus Exposure Study |
| To investigate children's exposures that commute to school by diesel school
buses, University of California researchers recently carried out the most comprehensive school bus exposure study
ever conducted. |
| CNG
and Diesel Transit Bus Comparison |
| A multi-agency research effort to collect emissions data from in-use late-model
heavy-duty transit buses in five different configurations. |
| Economics
Related Research |
| On this page you will find the summaries for the more recently completed
research projects managed by the Economics Program. |
| Final
Reports |
| This is the main archive of all final reports from the Board's completed
research projects. Each report is summarized here and a link to the complete final report is provided. |
| Health
Effects Research |
| The Air Resources Board has an active research program to investigate the
health effects associated with air pollution exposure, particularly in citizens that may be more sensitive
to air pollution effects, such as children and the elderly. Here you will find information on some of our
recent and ongoing air pollution health effects research. |
| Indoor
Air Pollution Exposure Research |
| The Indoor Air Quality and Personal exposure assessment program has completed
many interesting studys, this is a link to most of this program's current and completed research. |
| Particulate
Matter Research |
| Particulate Matter (PM) is currently regulated as a criteria pollutant under
both California and Federal Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). However, recent concerns of known
or potential adverse health effects associated with exposure to the smaller size fractions of PM, especially
the fine (0 - 2.5 micrometers aerodynamic diameter) and ultrafine (less than 0.1 micrometers
aerodynamic diameter) size ranges, have generated considerable activity in the research community. |
| Reactivity
Related Research |
| This page lists current and past reactivity-related research projects at
the ARB and reactivity related literature available. |
| Special Studies -
Air Quality Field Studies |
| The ARB gathers air quality data, ensures the quality of this
data, distributes data sets to our stakeholders, and performs air quality and emissions inventory special
studies. |
