Air Monitoring Reflects Air Pollution Control Activity [PDF]

Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 1966
Air monitoring by the A.I.S.I. filter sampling device which both preceded and was concurrent with source control of particulates demonstrated air quality improvement over a ten-year period. A difference in improvement from that estimated by the pollution control agency resulted from difference in the measurement parameters.
