The residence time that contaminants and nutrients remain in lichen tissue differs among elements (Pucket 1985). Macronutrients, such as nitrogen, sulfur, potassium, magnesium and calcium are comparatively mobile and easily leached and therefore measurable changes in tissue concentrations can occur over weeks or months with seasonal changes in deposition (Boongaprob et al. 1989). In one study, mobile elements reached the same levels in transplants as the indigenous lichens within four to six months (Palomäki et al. 1992). Trace and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead, and zinc, are more tightly bound or sequestered within lichens. | The Benefits and Costs of the Clean Air Act from 1990 to 2020 Final Report . Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air and Radiation March 2011 The Benefits and Costs of the Clean Air Act fron 1990 to 2020 ABSTRACT Section 812 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments requires the . Environmental Protection Agency to develop periodic reports that estimate the benefits and costs of the Clean Air Act. The main goal of these reports is to provide Congress and the public with comprehensive up-to-date peer-reviewed information on the Clean Air Act s social benefits and costs including improvements in human health welfare and ecological resources as well as the impact of the Act s provisions on the US economy. This report is the third in the Section 812 series and is the result of EPA s Second Prospective analysis of the 1990 Amendments. The Clean Air Act Amendments CAAA of1990 augmented the significant progress made in improving the nation s air quality through the original Clean Air Act of1970 and its 1977 amendments. The amendments built off the existing structure of the original Clean Air Act but went beyond those requirements to tighten and clarify implementation goals and timing increase the stringency of some federal requirements revamp the hazardous air pollutant regulatory program refine and streamline permitting requirements and introduce new programs for the control of acid rain and stratospheric ozone depleters. The main purpose of this report is to document the costs and benefits of the 1990 CAAA provisions incremental to those costs and benefits achieved from implementing the original 1970 Clean Air Act and the 1977 amendments. The analysis estimates the costs and benefits of reducing emissions of air pollutants by comparing a with-CAAA scenario that reflects expected or likely future measures implemented under the CAAA with a without-CAAA scenario that freezes the scope and stringency of emissions controls at the levels that existed prior to .
