Optimum meteorological and air pollution sampling network selection in urban areas. Phase II. Test and evaluation. Semi-annual progress report no. 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5761338
This report describes work accomplished in the first year of phase 2 of a project on optimum meteorological and air pollution sampling network selection in urban areas. The development of a theory and formulation of models to yield an optimum meteorological and air pollution sampling network for St. Louis, Missouri is described in limited detail. Although the theory and models can be applied to any city, St. Louis was chosen for testing purposes because considerable amounts of wind and air pollution data collected in that vicinity during a regional study were made available for comparative analysis. During the first year of Phase 2, the first of two field programs was conducted. A description of this program and the results to date are presented. Illustrations include photographs of air pollution testing stations throughout the St. Louis area, maps showing the locations, names and numbers of stations maintained by the Research Triangle Institute, and overlaps with the Regional Air Pollution Study stations and city/county stations in the optimum sampling network.
