From page 166...
... During its tenure, the committee has had the opportunity to propose a research agenda, monitor its implementation, and gauge initial progress in reducing key scientific uncertainties. This 5-year experience has provided an opportunity to make observations concerning the process of initiating and subsequently managing a large multidisciplinary research program.

... · Enhancing the ability of the air quality monitoring system to track progress and serve as an element for estimating exposure for future health research. · Moving beyond PM to a multipollutant approach to improve air quality overall in a health-relevant manner.
From page 168...
... A failure to invest in advancing the understanding of the effects of PM and air pollution on health risks would result, in general, in not taking full advantage of the substantial research investment to date and limiting the nation's ability to make evidence-based health policy and air quality regulatory choices in the future. Alternatively, continued enhancement of the air pollution and health research effort will undoubtedly yield substantial benefits for years to come.
