TL;DR: In this article, isokinetic flow and sampling was used for air pollution control in the US. But the results were limited to a small area of the US state of New York.

TL;DR: In this paper, photosynthesis and respiration rates for alfalfa fumigated with SO/sub 2/ are examined for compliance with Stoklasa's invisible injury theory.
Abstract: Some data on photosynthesis and respiration rates for alfalfa fumigated with SO/sub 2/ are examined for compliance with Stoklasa's invisible injury theory. It is suggested that invisible injury attends to a very limited extent the reducing conditions characterizing SO/sub 2/ fumigations. Other data suggest that the oxidizing conditions in smog seem to be more effective in causing invisible injury.

TL;DR: The undesirable effects of the pollu' tion of the atmosphere in the Los Angeles area have been attributed to organic materials and their oxidation products as mentioned in this paper, which are believed to result from the reaction of hydrocarbons with nitrogen dioxide and other oxidants which have been found in appreciable concentration in the atmosphere.
Abstract: The undesirable effects of the pollu' tion of the atmosphere in the Los Angeles area have been attributed to organic materials and their oxidation products. The troublesome compounds are believed to result from the reaction of hydrocarbons with nitrogen dioxide and other oxidants which have been found in appreciable concentration in the atmosphere in association with low lying haze. Under such conditions concentrations of oxidant as high as 80 pphm. have been found and levels be' tween 20 pphm. and 50 pphm. are of frequent occurrence, in contrast to less than 5 pphm. when the atmosphere is clear. Data provided by continuous recorders have shown that the peak con' centration of oxidant occurs approxi' mately at midday, after which there is a progressive decrease which reaches its lowest level during the night. This suggests that the formation of the oxi' dant is the result of a photochemical reaction. The cracking of bent rubber strips and selective adsorption'desorption techniques have been used in order to

TL;DR: In this article, the Adaptation of Titrilog for Field Mobile Sampling (ATMS) is described. But the authors do not discuss its application in field mobile sampling.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of this case and the probable cause of the phenomenon given is given in this article. But this analysis is limited to the case of the landing of a number of jet aircraft at Goose Bay, Laborador in December 1954.
Abstract: On several occasions reports have been received by Headquarters Air Weather Service of deteriorating weather conditions at an air base apparently caused by the landing of a number of jet aircraft. Such an occasion occurred at Goose Bay, Laborador in December, 1954. A detailed analysis has been made of this case and the probable cause of the phenomenon given.
TL;DR: In this article, a test of fiber-frax ceramic fibers for high temperature gas filtration is described. But this test was performed in a high temperature environment and the results showed that the fiberfrax fibers did not perform well.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the possibility of accidental release of radioactive gaseous wastes as well as possibility of release of accidental releases in relation to site selection; main meteorological parameters of wind direction and speed, atmospheric stability and precipitation; atmospheric diffusion formulas presented to help assess problem of site selection.
Abstract: Routine release of radioactive gaseous wastes as well as possibility of accidental release is discussed in relation to site selection; main meteorological parameters of wind direction and speed, atmospheric stability and precipitation; atmospheric diffusion formulas presented to help assess problem of site selection.
