Tank, R., P. Barlow, AND P. Waldruff. MATERIALS AEROMETRIC DATABASE FOR USE IN DEVELOPING MATERIALS DAMAGE FUNCTION. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-89/031 (NTIS PB89181259), 1989.
Description:
Meteorological and air quality data acquired at field exposure sites have been accumulated into the Materials Aerometric Database (MAD). Task Group VII of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) will use the MAD to develop damage functions for materials exposed at the sites; these functions then will be used in preparing NAPAP integrated assessment reports to Congress. The MAD data cover as many as six and a half years at five materials exposure sites in the eastern United States. Conservative techniques based on secondary site data, regression predictions, and other information have been applied to the MAD to enhance the quality and usability of the database. The enhanced version of the MAD, as well as the original MAD, have been given to Task Group VII.
