This report contains data collected on a monthly basis over the period April, 1973 - April, 1975 for dustfall particulates, sodium and chloride and SO2 levels obtained from 12 monitoring sites near the Chalk Point Generating Station operated by PEPCO and located 65 km south-southeast of Washington, D.C. on the Patuxent River in Maryland. Information on rainfall amounts, acidity and salinity; soil chemical analyses; yield and quality of major crops; and chemical analyses of vegetative samples from seven crop species for 1973 and 1974 growing seasons are reported. Also included in this report are summaries of experiments conducted at the Tobacco Experimental Farm near Upper Marlboro, Md. involving the simulation of salt spray drift on tobacco, corn and soybeans. Crops yields and quality and chemical analyses of vegetative samples are reported.
