Abstract
Carbon monoxide regulation as mandated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) has not effectively protected the health of this country's citizens. The direct cause-and-effect relationships between carbon monoxide and cardiac dysfunction indicate a clear and urgent need for the reevaluation of carbon monoxide standards in order to protect the health of urban Americans. Failure to take effective action now will result in the severe impairment of individuals who are compromised by pathological conditions limiting their ability to live safely amidst rising CO levels. The NAAQS should be revised to ensure that CO emission source levels reflect a realistic margin of safety for individuals whose preexisting health conditions place them within the defined sensitive population.
