Description

Air quality criteria are defined according to the state of scientific knowledge. Limiting or standard values for short-duration exposure as derived from numerous experimental results and field observations may be said to provide useful concepts for the protection of vegetation. So far inadequate, however, are the scientific bases for assessing without doubt the hazard potential of prolonged nuisances characterized by greatly varying pollutant concentrations in relation to both time and site and by the incidence of multiple components.

Abstract (German)

Luftqualitaetskriterien werden nach dem wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisstand festgelegt. Die aus zahlreichen entsprechenden Versuchsergebnissen und Freilandbeobachtungen abgeleiteten Grenz- oder Richtwerte fuer Kurzzeitbelastungen koennen beurteilt werden, damit brauchbare Konzepte zum Schutz der Vegetation vorliegen. Zur zweifelsfreien Beurteilung des Gefaehrdungspotentials langanhaltender Immissionsbelastungen, die gekennzeichnet sind durch zeitlich und raeumlich stark variierende Konzentrationen sowie durch das Auftreten mehrerer Immissionskomponenten, fehlen allerdings noch wesentliche wissenschaftliche Grundlagen.
