The phrase "ambient criteria" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to environmental standards, design principles, or conditions that influence a particular setting or experience.
Example: "The ambient criteria for the new office design include natural lighting, sound levels, and temperature control to enhance employee comfort."
Alternatives: "environmental standards" or "surrounding conditions".
The relationship of ambient criteria pollutant concentrations to ambient and personal PM2.5 was explored.
Recently, several investigations have focused on ASD risk and ambient criteria air pollutants (traffic related and/or from industry) [ 12– 16].
Ambient criteria pollutant levels were better predictors of personal PM2.5 than they were of personal exposure to the gaseous species themselves, suggesting that the criteria pollutants may be useful as surrogates of PM2.5 exposure, but are unlikely to act as confounders in epidemiologic studies (Sarnat et al. 2005).
The AQS database is updated daily by the U.S. EPA, primarily by the staff of state and local environmental agencies that measure ambient concentrations of criteria air pollutants at several thousand monitoring sites throughout the United States.
Furthermore, pollution regulations around the world allow chemical pollution of water resources as long as ambient water quality criteria are not exceeded.
To protect the public from recreational waterborne illness, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPAA) established ambient water quality criteria (AWQC; U.S. EPA 1986).
One of the variables used to calculate ambient water quality criteria is fish consumption rate, an estimated average of the amount of fish eaten in a given area.
Several of the priority pollutants discussed in EPA's Ambient Water Quality Criteria documents have been reported to have promotion or cocarcinogenic activity.
A previous risk assessment for asbestos, the EPA's Ambient Water Quality Criteria (AWQC) for Asbestos, was derived from cohort studies of inhalation exposure.
Consequently, an effort must be made to develop ambient water quality criteria to protect human health and preserve the integrity of the aquatic environment.
Among other things, these amendments required the EPA to develop suggested ambient water quality criteria for 126 priority pollutants as a guide for the states.
