The California Air Resources Board (CARB) initiated a Crop Loss Assessment Program to develop a process whereby all available information could be put into a format usable for a statewide assessment of yield losses to crops from ozone. The yield loss information was used in conjunction with economic analysis to determined the impacts of different ozone/ambient air quality standards. The results to date (using 1984 as a trial year) indicate the usefulness of the process for general assessments of the effects of ozone on crop productivity, not only for California but potentially for other areas. Modifications in these projected loss estimates will be made as new information becomes available concerning loss equations, air monitoring sites, and growth seasons on a county and crop basis, and for data collected after 1984.
