LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY TRANSBOUNDARY AIR POLLUTION PROJECT (TAPP)

Citation:

Mukerjee, S. LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY TRANSBOUNDARY AIR POLLUTION PROJECT (TAPP). Presented at 1999 Border Environmental Technical Conference, Las Cruces, NM, November 17-19, 1999.

Impact/Purpose:

1) Assess new and standard air monitoring devices to characterize PM and gaseous air pollutants that are being used in this task.

2) Develop advanced directional analysis techniques (with receptor modeling) to assess transboundary transport of air pollutants and other source impacts. Hypothesis to be tested: Can these wind sector analysis techniques help us identify source location and contribution of transboundary and other sources.

Objectives will be achieved by development of a detailed electronic database for application in the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) to perform statistical assessments and directional techniques on measurements from Border XXI studies, namely the Lower Rio Grande Valley Transboundary Air Pollution Project (TAPP) done in and near Brownsville, TX and Ambos Nogales Air Programs on Arizona/Sonora border. Research includes analysis of submicron PM and gaseous pollutant data from El Paso as part of "Measurement and Modeling of Air Pollutants in El Paso, Texas" study.
