Droopo, Jr., J. G.

Modeling results are often used to conduct assessments of exposures resulting from releases to the atmosphere. Routine air monitoring has been conducted at many of the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) major facilities. In the application of the Multimedia Environmental Pollutant Assessment System (MEPAS) to DOE environmental issues as part of DOE's Environmental Survey, these monitoring data have been found to be very useful in evaluation of modeling results. An illustrative example is given of the comparison of monitoring and modeled data at DOE sites. 3 refs., 1 fig.
