Cite as 11 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 2, R. 4.1
Except for odor, as covered below, the ambient air quality standards for Mississippi
shall be the Primary and Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards as duly
promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in (or to be printed in) 40 CFR Part
50, pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended. All such standards promulgated by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as of September 6, 2013, are hereby adopted and
incorporated herein by the Commission by reference as the official ambient air quality standards
of the State of Mississippi and shall hereafter be enforceable as such (except that the word
“Administrator” in said standards shall be replaced by the words “Executive Director” and the
word “Agency” in said standards shall be replaced by the word “Department”).
There shall be no odorous substances in the ambient air in concentrations sufficient to adversely
and unreasonably:
A.
affect human health and well-being;
B.
interfere with the use or enjoyment of property; or
C.
affect plant or animal life.
In determining that concentrations of such substances in the ambient air are adversely and
unreasonably affecting human well-being or the use or enjoyment of property of plant or animal
life, the factors to be considered by the Commission will include, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the number of complaints or petitioners alleging that such a condition exists,
the frequency of the occurrence of such substances in the ambient air as confirmed by the
Department of Environmental Quality staff, and the land use of the affected area.
