Abstract |
The Quality Assurance Branch (QAB) of the Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory has undertaken the task of evaluating the transmissometers that are currently being used in visible emissions training programs. The criteria used in the evaluation were the design and performance specifications for smoke meters promulgated in the November 12, 1974, Federal Register. Sixteen 'smoke schools' from EPA Regions 1-8 participated in the survey which was performed between April 21, 1977, and August 2, 1977. Results of the survey showed that only half of the transmissometers which were evaluated met all of the design and performance specifications. A lack of operator understanding and familiarity with smoke generators was a contributing factor among those units that failed to meet the requirements. A list of recommendations are, also, included for a five-phase special study that would attempt to improve the training program for smoke inspectors. |
