Improving Transboundary Air Quality with<br />
Binational Emission Reduction Credit Trading<br />
ENDNOTES<br />
1 The status of Nogales, Sonora, was determined by the authors<br />
using data obtained at the U.S.-Mexico Border In<strong>for</strong>mation Center<br />
on Air Pollution (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/catc/cica).<br />
2 Several detailed summaries of the U.S. CAAA are available (see, <strong>for</strong><br />
example, EPA 1993).<br />
3 EPA is also required to consider the effect of air pollution on the<br />
public welfare by limiting the effect of air pollution on visibility<br />
and by limiting damage to agriculture and private property.<br />

principles, and a summary of the goals and objectives. The full<br />
Border 2012 document is available at http://www.epa.gov/usmexicoborder/.<br />

objectives <strong>for</strong> water quality, which set specific numeric objectives<br />
(see Appendix, Goal #1).<br />
7 Nonattainment areas are determined by the extent of the pollution<br />
being considered and do not correspond to county borders. Thus, a<br />
nonattainment area may be an entire state (i.e., Connecticut <strong>for</strong><br />
ozone and PM 10 ), several counties located in different states (i.e.,<br />
New York City-North New Jersey-Long Island <strong>for</strong> ozone, carbon<br />
monoxide, and PM 10 ), or several nonattainment areas could be<br />
