This report presents national and regional trends in air quality from 1978 through 1987 for total suspended particulate, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and lead. Air-pollution trends were also examined for the 5-year period (1983-87). Both national and regional trends in each of these pollutants are examined. National air-quality trends are also presented for both the National Air Monitoring Sites (NAMS) and other site categories. In addition to ambient air quality, trends are also presented for annual nationwide emissions. These emissions are estimated using the best available engineering calculations; the ambient levels presented are averages of direct measurements.
