Criteria pollutant definition

Criteria pollutant means any of the following regulated pollutants: nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, PM10, PM2.5, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead.
Criteria pollutant means a pollutant for which there is established a National Ambient Air Quality Standard at 40 CFR Part 50. The criteria pollutants are carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter, ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead (Pb), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Criteria pollutant means PM10, PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, VOCs, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, lead or any other air pollutant for which a national ambient air quality standard has been promulgated under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act.

Examples of Criteria pollutant in a sentence

More Definitions of Criteria pollutant

Criteria pollutant or "criteria air pollutant" means an air pollutant for which a criteria document has been prepared by EPA and has a primary or secondary ambient air quality standard. These pollutants are identified in 40 CFR Part 50 and include sulfur oxides (measured as sulfur dioxide), particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, oxides of nitrogen (measured as nitrogen dioxide), and lead. Although volatile organic compounds are no longer identified as a criteria pollutant category, they are regulated together with oxides of nitrogen as a precursor to ozone.
Criteria pollutant means any pollutant for which an ambient air quality standard is established under 9VAC5-30 (Ambient Air Quality Standards).
Criteria pollutant means a pollutant for which there is established a National Ambient Air Quality Standard at 40 C.F.R. Part
Criteria pollutant means any air pollutant for which a California ambient air quality standard (CAAQS) or a national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) has been established.
