There were very good explanations in the book "Air Pollution and Health" of Holgate but it seems a little outdated (1999). Any suggestion of current sources that explain the process? For instance, the ISA documents, staff documents and such. Also, information for European Union would be great.
Hi Pablo, I would suggest the latest edition from WHO on air Quality guidelines: WHO guidelines for indoor air quality:selected pollutants (http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/128169/e94535.pdf). The Introduction sections explains the process that we followed setting the indor air quality guidelines.
The other book recommended is the Air Quality Guidelines for Europe World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe. Copenhagen. WHO Regional Publications, European Series, No. 91 Second Edition (http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/74732/E71922.pdf). In Part 1 of that document is also described the process of setting the air quality guidelines.
Best regards, Juana Mari

EPA has a patchwork of publications:

Hi,
US EPA like most US Agencies follows the US Administrative Procedures Act when promulgating standards, rules, etc. A good summary can be found at:

The process is pretty inefficient and complicated but assures lots of input from stakeholders. Regards,
