Description:
An ambient air monitoring study to characterize airborne emissions from petroleum refineries was conducted near the Marathon oil refinery at Robinson, Illinois during June 17 - July 29, 1977. Ground-level sampling facilities and an airplane equipped with air pollutant monitoring instruments provided an integrated, three-dimensional monitoring network. Measurements made during the study included ozone, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, individual C2-C10 hydrocarbons, halocarbons, condensation nuclei, visual distance and various meteorological parameters.
