SOME BASIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF AN AIR POLLUTION MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

Quantified air quality and meteorological information provided by an air pollution monitoring system must be geared to the legally prescribed functions of the control agency. The network must be treated as a vital component of the total inte¬grated data system that supports agency activities in air re¬sources management and control. It should be closely interphased with data systems for emission inventory, registration and permits, violations and complaints, fuel use, emission reduction plans, land use, demographic projections, and urban planning. Compati¬bility with neighboring and statewide or regionwide data systems is essential for coordination of effort, especially under epi¬sode conditions.
