Description:
During the period of 1974 to 1977, the Regional Air pollution Study (RAPS) was conducted in the St. Louis, Missouri/Illinois Metropolitan Area. Because of the availability of extensive monitoring data, additional independent research studies were conducted in the St. Louis area during this time frame. This report is an attempt to document nearly all the RAPS and related investigations conducted in the St. Louis Air Quality Control Region during the period of 1973 to 1978. Descriptions of locally-operated air quality and meteorological networks are also included. Such a report will serve as a summary of data available to the EPA modelers in pursuit of the RAPS objectives and will be used by RAPS researchers to locate supplementary data sources to augment their own measurements.
