Résumé : | WHO published the first edition of these guidelines in 1987. Since then new data have emerged and new developments in risk assessment methodology have taken place, necessitating the updating and revision of the existing guidelines. The Bilthoven Division has undertaken this process in close cooperation with the International Programme on Chemical Safety and the European Commission. It is the aim of the guidelines to provide a basis for protecting public health from adverse effects of air pollutants and to eliminate or reduce exposure to those pollutants that are known or likely to be hazardous to human health or wellbeing. The guidelines are intended to provide background information and guidance to international, natioinal and local authorities in making risk assessment and risk management decisions. In establishing pollutant levels below which exposure - for life or for a given period of time - does not constitute a significant public health risk, the guidelines provide a basis for setting standards or limit values for air pollutants.
