| Abstract |
Interest in sulfate and nitrate aerosols has been on the increase largely due to studies relating sulfate and nitrate to health effects and visibility degradation and to changes in our national energy policy. The present and planned utilization of coal resources in the western United States will add to the sulfate-nitrate burden. However, little sulfate-nitrate data are available to establish a baseline and evaluate the impact of this development. A program was initiated by the Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory at Las Vegas to increase the number of locations monitoring sulfate and nitrate in the Western Energy Resource Development Area. This was accomplished primarily by augmenting the existing particulate sampling networks. This program has resulted in doubling the number of locations reporting sulfate and nitrate data and improving the geographic coverage. To evaluate and improve the quality of these data, a quality assurance program has also been established. The sulfate-nitrate network resulting from this program was fully operational at the end of 1978. The data reported thus far indicate generally low values in this area. Typically, sulfate values are less than 6 micrograms per cubic meter (microgram/cu m) and nitrate values are less than 3 microgram/cu m. The data presented in this report cover the sampling period from January 1975 to December 1977. |
