Quarterly Progress Report Characterization of Substances in Products, Effluents and Wastes from Synthetic Fuel Development Processes

摘要

The objectives of this program are to identify and quantify the constituents occurring in products, effluents and emissions from the technology processes that warrant consideration in the development of control measures. A part of our program includes the collec¬tion, characterization, preservation, and storage of products, effluents, and wastes from these processes. These materials may then serve as "research materials" for more detailed characterization and for environmental and health effects studies. An important purpose served by the research materials is to permit laboratories to compare their results when carrying out various tests and studies with the materials. The program thus provides an essential ele¬ment of quality control and validation of procedures to the health and environ¬mental studies conducted by the laboratories.nThese quarterly reports are intended to provide up-to-date information on the status of these characterization efforts to those concerned with emission control and to the biological and environmental scientists working in this area.
