Extent to which air quality degrades or enhances other envl,[onmental values (e.g., consider scenic vistas unImpaired or impaired by visual pollution, areas in which air pollution has had an adverse effect on flora). 2. Extent t,o which air is free from nuisance causIng materials or materials harmful to human health and to flora and fauna. 3. Extent to which areas not meeting standards fall to do so. (A ratinp, of 0, 1, or 2 would indicate that an area violated most or all of the quality criteria, while a rating of 8, 9, or 10 would indicate that the area is approaching the standards but faUs to meet them for all criteria.) 4.

(A rating of 0, 1 or 2 would indicate that standards are met, and that to a small degree the air is better than required by the standards. A rating of 8, 9, or 10 would indicate that air quality is, to a high degree, better than reouired by standards.) 5. Extent to which thermal inversions are a factor in air duality.

(Consider thermal powerplants, smelters, automobiles, etc.) 2. \{here pollution occurs, the extent to which technology is available to meet air quality standards. 4.4.16 Land Quality This catep;ory includes chemical, physical, and biological aspects of land in relationship to the suitability of the land for particular uses.
