The 1995 Integrated Monitoring Study (IMS95) is part of the Phase 1 planning efforts for the California Regional PM10 Air Quality Study (CRPAQS), and thus, the overall objectives of IMS95 are: (1) to fill information gaps needed for planning an effective field program later this decade; (2) to develop an improved conceptual model for pollution buildup (PM10, PM2.5, and aerosol precursors) in the San Joaquin Valley; (3) to develop a uniform air quality, meteorological, and emissions data base that can be used to perform initial evaluations of aerosol and fog air quality models; and (4) to provide early products that can be used to help with the development of the upcoming State Implementation Plan for PM10. Consideration of potential new PM standards were also included in the planning and design of IMS95. 15 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
