§ 6864. Criteria for Identifying Pesticides as Toxic Air Contaminants.
Currentness
A pesticide shall be identified as a toxic air contaminant if its concentrations in ambient air are greater than the following levels (for the purposes of this section, a threshold is defined as the dose of a chemical below which no adverse effect occurs):
(a) For pesticides which have thresholds for adverse health effects, this level shall be ten-fold below the air concentration which has been determined by the Director to be adequately protective of human health.
(b) For pesticides which do not have thresholds for adverse health effects, this level shall be equivalent to the air concentration which would result in a ten-fold lower risk than that which has been determined by the Director to be a negligible risk.
