An assessment of Instrumentation and Monitoring Needs for Significant Air Pollutants Emitted by Air Force Operations and Recommendations for Future Research on Analysis of Pollutants.

摘要

Reliable monitoring technology is required to control noxious effluents arising from Air Force's operations. Present and projected monitoring needs have been established. Presently used monitoring techniques are discussed. Research and development activities in governmental,industrial,and educational organizations,relevant to Air Force's monitoring needs,have been identified. Recommendations regarding instrument development,to meet the existing and foreseeable requirements,are presented in the following areas:volatile aircraft emissions,particulate aircraft emissions,missile-related substances,metallic element emission sources,herbicide disposal operations,ambient air,and special monitoring needs. General recommendations specify areas in which fundamental research is of vital importance. (Modified author abstract)
