Shepard, L. ANALYSIS OF ACID PRECIPITATION SAMPLES COLLECTED BY STATE AGENCIES SAMPLING PERIOD: JANUARY 1992 - DECEMBER 1992. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/R-95/048 (NTIS PB95191342), 1995.

Description:

This report presents analytical data from 30 acid precipitation collection sites in the State-Operated Network. amples are collected weekly in plastic bag bucket liners and shipped in 500 mL polyethylene bottled to Global Geochemistry Corporation, the central laboratory for the network. his report contains maps showing the location of each site, plots of analytical data, tables of all field and analytical data, plots comparing field and laboratory pH and conductivity, and information on data quality. amples are analyzed for pH, strong acid, conductivity, fluoride, chloride, nitrite, phosphate, bromide, nitrate sulfate, ammonium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. he central laboratory renders technical assistance to the collection sites on problems concerning pH and conductivity. ach participating state agency receives analytical reports for the samples received the previous month. nalyte values are stored on magnetic tape for future inclusion in the EPA acid deposition data base.
