FOREWORD
The National Environmental Research Center situated in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina, conducts research, development, and
measurement programs to provide the Environmental Protection Agency
with rationales and resources to establish controls based upon the
need to minimize existing or potential adverse environmental effects
on human health. In the overall program, emphasis is placed on three
major activities: (1) measurement of human exposure including sources,
transport, and distribution; (2) effects of human exposure encompassing
health and socioeconomic effects; and (3) least-cost controls of
technology including prototype development and predictive modeling.
Both short- and long-term activities are pursued in the program. The
effects research program covers the following categories: gaseous
pollutants, particulat'e matter, odors, ionizing radiation, electro-
magnetic radiation, pesticides, toxic substances, and noise.
NERC/RTP provides a center of excellence within the Office of
Research and Monitoring for technical assistance and support to other
EPA organizations in the areas of air pollution and pesticides, includ-
ing health effects, social and economic effects, surveillance, measure-
ment development, expert witnesses, technical backup to enforcement,
quality control, and research -in the atmospheric transformation and
transport of pollutants.
This document has been prepared to provide information on the
research conducted by NERC/RTP in an effort to inform the environmental
community of the mission of the National Environmental Research Center
in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

American public of the major air pollutants. Dose-response analysis of the current
CHESS health indicator data, will qualitate health cost of major air pollutants on these
new health 'categories. National estimates can be determined from these same health
categories. More complete consideration of mortality, morbidity, subclinical illness
categories is urgently needed. Pollution monitoring data and population, at risk estimates
from various levels of major air pollutants is imperative. At present work is underway
on the health costs of acute and chronic respiratory disease as affected by'SOx.

A recently developed biologic index for air pollution, based on the exposure of
guinea pigs to low levels of N02 (15 ppm) and an increase in the number of" alveolar
wall cells (lactic acid dehydrogenase positive) per alveolus, will be-applied in a
series of experiments to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and time distribution
of the test. Once reference baselines are established, the relative influence on the
index of a variety of gases, singly and in combination, will be investinated. Data will
be obtained m thfj important areas of a) minimum ambient levels of air pollutants -(singly
and in combination) that will produce an elevation in the response, b) synernism an'df
antagonism of air pollutants,, c) patterns of response according to the time and level of
exposure, d) thn role of suspended particles (carbon) as a vehicle for focal deposition
of high levels of air pollutants, and e) variations of the index in five different am-
bient atmos|)!irires (major cities and rural areas) over-a period of 40 weeks. The study
will ultinirttely be extended to comparisons of species differences and, in particular,'
the-relationship of the index in human lungs (accidental deaths and operations) to mafor
residential location, cigarette smoking, occupation, age, and sex.

of original research findings on the health effects of air pollution. The significance of
these conferences to the medical profession goes beyond -air pollution to the course and {
development of chronic respiratory disease, effects of inhalants, mechanisms of infiltrative
lung diseases, Mssui: and sputum changes, role of infectious agents and other biological
factors., cnrcir.oucnesis, cell physiology, and toxicology at the biochemical level in the

for these purpose*.
Pulsed power supplies have considerable potential for upgrading the performance
of existing electrostatic precipitators and reducing the collection area (i.e., size)
required of new precipitators to meet a given collection efficiency. The expected
advantages of the pulsed power supply are attributable to (l) ah increased degree of
electrical sectionalization over that economically feasible with conventional power
supplies, and (2) a voltage wave-form permitting a higher effective voltage than •
possible with' conventional supplies, thereby increasing the charge on the particle
and hence the precipitator collection efficiency. Previous work has shown that to
be economically feasible, the pulsed power supply must include the switching mech-
anism required to commute the pulses and power multiple precipitator sections,
The present project provides for the design, construction, and evaluation of .
a pulsed power.supply capable of powering four- electrical sections of a full scale
precipitator. This prototype supply will be fully bench tested with a simulated "
precipitator load, after which it will be-installed on one. half of an operating :.
precipitator at a TVA coal fired power plant for direct performance comparison with
the conventionally powered'half under controlled conditions.

Under a previous-contract an electrostatic precipitator performance model has
been developed based on theoretical considerations and experimental work with a pilot • •
precipitator which was designed and built for the purpose. The model permits pre-
diction of performance from precipitator design and operating parameters and dust
properties. To realize the benefit of these developments and improve and test the
validity of the performance model, it i's necessary to apply the model to the design . •
or improved systems having increased collection efficiency in the fine particle range,
particularly with dusts of high resistivity. •' This project- provides for initiation of
work towta-d. this objective principally by theoretical and experimental examination of
the advantages -of- special prechargirig sections, determination of fractional
efficiencies for fine particles, and relationships between and limitations of operating
variables caused by duat resistivity/ The ultimate objective is to develop the basis
for electrostatic precipitator designs having higher efficiency in the fine particle
range and to maximize the efficiency of precipitators in the collection of high
resistivity dusts such as those'resulting "from use of low sulfur coals.
By computerized performance model, the preferred electrode factors to maximize
current density and sparkover voltage in special charging sections of an existing
pilot precipitator will be determined, followed-by experimental confirmation using
coal flyash and selected high resistivity and fine particle size dusts. Effects of
diffusion charging for fine particles and the relation of voltage drop in dust layer
to dust resistivity, current density, and dust thickness will be investigated. In-
aitu dust resistivity values will be related to resistivity values inferred from
precipitator performance. Volt-ampere characteristics will be determined for a full
scale flyash precipitator and relationships confirmed between in-situ resistivity and

frequency, amplitude, force, duration, energy distribution| energy wave form and
intensity; and to relate these to cleaning effectiveness and to fabric filter
performance (pressure drop, efficiency, fabric life). A versatile fabric filter
unit has been constructed which is capable of .operating over a wide range of
cleaning conditions for various cleaning modes including mechanical shake, pulse;
jet, and reverse flow. Tests have-been_conducted for each cleaning mode, with a
variety of fabrics and dusts. Results from this'study are being analysed to
develop concise, statements, and/or equations which provide practical, means for
selection of the optimum cleaning cycle for. a specific application, The project.

for these purposes.
Fabric filtration will ordinarily allow 99+% particulate removal efficiency. At present,
filter bag fabrics limit use to gas streams below about 550°F. The present research is
aimed at finding fabrics or finishes for fabrics that will allow higher temperature
filtration or will extend the life of bags at presently used temperatures. Such fabrics
win extend fabric filtration usage and enhance overall industrial particulate collection.
An experimental high temperature baghouse has been constructed which allows endurance
testing of bags under simulated field conditions. As proprietary or other fabrics
become available, bags are made and run to failure; then examined for type, location and
possible cause of failure. Comparison of endurance and of failure modes should lead to
selection of improved types of fabrics and finishes. This project started about 1959,
led to the Present use of silicone graphite glass fiber bags, and is planned to continue
through June 1977.

The primary objective of this project is the investigation of new technology
for the control of fine (sub-micron) particulate emissions. The major
emphasis is described in tasks to:
a. Develop a system for producing';droplets of_ccjDJtro.ll.ef3Loha.rae and size for
injection into a test tunnel to remove" typical"loadings of particles in the
sub-micron range-.
b. Develop -a/system for injecting monodisperse sub-micron charged particles
typical of industrial particulate to be used for test purposes.
c. Develop an isokinetic sampling device to sample the mixture of drops
and dusty gas at positions throughout an interaction region, and use
inertial techniques to separate the drops and measure the collected
particle mass.
d. Develop a scattering system, for measuring the density of the particulate
under the basically monodisperse conditions provided by the injection
scheme described above. '
e. Investigate electrohydrodynamic spraying techniques for the large-scale
production of charged droplets in the size range of approximately 5-100
microns.
f. Make preliminary tests of the interaction between the charged drops
and particles in a region essentially free of ambient electric field.
The project was started in December, 1971 and should be completed in
December, 1973.

The efficient control-of fine particle (less than .1 micron) pollutants requires the
development of improved aqueous scrubbers for certain applications. Related contracts
will be supported by this in-house project, planned to' evaluate proprietary concepts.
and to establish research data indicating requirements for future research planning.
The initial work will concentrate on setting up the capability for future testing. Bench
scale scrubber experiment trains will be built to accept scrubbers supplied by others.
Equipment to be purchased includes:two aerosol generators of different, types, a particle
counting instrument, a Cascade impactor for particle size distribution analysis, air
conditioners for control pf inlet gas temperature/humidity, and fans, pumps, duct, pipe.e .
Representative scrubbers of standard design employing either plates, packing, spray, cent .-
fugal flow, impingement or entrainmerit will be acquired also, and used for comparison
purposes. - '
Concurrently, the identification of scrubbing devices and systems to be evaluated will be
underway. Ajiiong the sources expected to suggest new scrubbers are patents, manufacturer's
advertisements, unsolicited proposals, grant applications, and spin-off's from contract
work. The selection of the new scrubbing devices or systems will be based on a brief
initial evaluation of their economic feasibility. Either the manufacturer will supply
the.teat device or a replica will be assembled by the Government. The devices will be
tested for mass reduction, particle size efficiency'^ energy requirements, and control
of speciiil participate and compared to standard scrubbers previously tested. Relative
engineering and economic feasibility and applicability to special sources will be deter-
mined. This project started in September 1972 and will continue through June 1978.

Many control device evaluation sampling situations are.increasingly becoming extremely
long due to the high efficiency of the device being tested and the low flow of the
commercially available samplers. This project will update a mass sampler used byi'F'S
CSD personnel for approximately seven years and make it available to the general public.
An increase in the sample flow from 0.75 cfm to 4-5 cfm is to be expected with a
.proportional decrease in sampling time. Emphasis will be placed on portability and
ease of field use. Supporting research will be. conducted on a small wind tunnel
capable of handling dust to evaluate pilot sensing elements and nozzle configurations.
Efforts will also be extended to incorporate an inertial impactor within th<>. mass unit.
Evaluations will be based on existing off line particle sizing equipment available
(Coulter T, Sedigraph 500, Bahco, microscope). Project initiation is July, 1972 an.i
will be completed June, 1973.

The emphasis in evaluation of particulate control devices is shifting from gross
mass to particle size efficiency. This study will evaluate a prototype system
.and devices commercially available which claim to be able to function in-situ.
Most units tested will be inertial separators. The prototype system will investi-
gate techniques to lower the detectable size range to those particles less than
0.1 pra using diffusion ba Ueries and condensation muclei counters. Testing will be
conducted in the field on actual.industrial control equipment to compare operational
characteristics. Subsequent laboratory calibration of'those devices found to be
field operational will be carried out using particle generators and optical evaluation.
The study was initiated in June, 1972 and will continue through June, 1973.

The reactivity of seven limestones (Iceland spar, fine-grained calcite, high purity
dolomite, aragonite, marble, marl and chalk) with H^S will be determined under coal,:
gasification conditions. The work will comprise the following:
1. Potential applications for solid sorbents removing H2S from process streams such as
coal gasification will be reviewed and summarized in a report. Demand to year 2000 for
gas produced .from coal and sorbents to control H2S emitting from coal gasification will
be estimated.
2. Published studies pertaining to reactivity between l^S and s.olid sorbents
especially calcined limestones will be reviewed and summarized in a report.
3. An existing sorption system and a new system under construction will be capable of
contacting solid sorbents in fixed bed with producer pas over the range 1,000° to 1,AOO°F
and pressures up to 300 psig. Special simulated Deducing gases will be investigated
to the extent determined feasible by the Bureau of Mines and EPA.
A. Sensitivity tests will be performed on one limestone to determine the effect of test
parameters at several temperatures from 1,000° up to 1,400°F. Appropriate constant
conditions of bed height, gas velocity, and test duration will be determined for use
in the reactivity tests which follow.
5. Sorbent reactivity will be determined by.performing a 3-factor, 5-level composite
factorial experiment for each of the seven limestone types. Results will show thei
effect of pressure, temperature, and particle size over a practical range.
The work is expected to commence in November, 1972 and be completed in May, 1974. ;

The objective of this task is to investigate the production of clean, low-Btu
fuel gas for power generation by gasification/desulfurization of bituminous coals. The
system under study involves removal of sulfur Compounds and particulate from the product
fuel gas at high temperature and 15 atmospheres, .pressure. The current bench-scale experi-
mental program includes study of a fluidized-bed of half-calcined dolomite to remove H»S
from the product fuel gas, and .of continuous regeneration of the partially-sulfided
sorbent by reaction with steam and CC^* so that the sorbent can be recycled and sulfur
values can be recovered. Means of recovering elemental sulfur from the ^S in the
regenerator off-gases will also be considered. Operation of the gasification step
will be studied.
The information from this study will be employed ultimately to demonstrate the
gasification/desulfurization scheme on a larger .scale.
This project was initiated in. August 1970 and will be . completed in September 1977.

tor these purposes.
Under B'A Contract No. CPA 70-146, Applied Technology Corporation has
investigated the Two-Stage Coal Coal Combustion Process. In this process, coal
and air are injected into molten iron to yield a carbon-monoxide-bearing offgas.
Coal sulfur is not. oxidized but is transferred to a slag floating on the iron.
Thus, a low-sulfur offgas is produced for use as a fuel for power plant boilers.
Experimentation on a 2 megawatt rate- equivalent combus-tor has shown that
a boiler stack gas, containing less the 50 ppm sulfur dioxide is produced. Also
total coal solubility results at injection depthsc'df . less than three feet and
oxygen utilization is complete at air injection depths of five inches.
The current. EPA study (Contract No. 68-02-0613) will advance process
development by investigating (1) simultaneous decarburization and carburization
of molten iron, (2) offgas .particulate -emissions, (3) refractory li'fe, (4) sulfur
recovery from liquid slag, (5) slag weathering," (6) retention of coal trace
elements, (7) data review from the design point of view, and (8) utilization of
the offgn.:; :i.n boilers. This program essentially completes work that can be
accompli shod with existing equipment (2 megawatt) and may enable the design of a
50-100 megawatt plant.
This project was begun in, June 1970 and will continue until May 1973.

for these purposes.
The overall objective of the Chemically Active Fluid Bed, CAFB, project is the develop-
ment of an economical process for avoiding SO. pollution-when burning heavy fuel oil for
generation of power. The CAFB system is a regenerative process using a shallow fluid bed
of lime to remove sulphur while gasifying the oil prior.to combustion. The lime is
regenerated, producing a concentrated (6-10%) stream of sulphur dioxide which can be.
recovered as acid or elemental sulphur..
The development strategy calls for six .phases of activity culminating in demonstration
of the process in a commercial boiler of.approximately 150 megawatt capacity.
These six phases are as follows:
Phase II - Operation of continuous pilot plant to provide process data and
knowhow for design of conversion of commercial unit.
- Development of conceptual design for conversion and economic
evaluation of process viability.
Phase III!-.Full study design of proposed conversion.
- Additional laboratory and pilot plant studies to answer specific •
design questions.
Phase IV - Detail design of conversion.
Phase V - Boiler.conversion and commissioning.
Phase VI — Boiler operation in normal duty while evaluating long term per-
formance of CAFB gasifier.
Began June, 1970 expected completion is in 1976.

The objective of the CSD Development Program on pressurized fluidized-bed combustion
of coal is to demonstrate this technology for coal combustion; the program is directed
primarily at reducing "862, NOX, and particulate emissions from utility power plants.
The commercial capabilities of such a process should be demonstrated during the time
period 1979-1981. • ...
This continuous pilot plant unit is rated at 635 kW, and uses a regenerable
bed of limestone in which coal 'is combusted. Steam raising coils are in the
combusto portion of the fluidized bed. The unit will operate at pressures up to 10
atmosphereSx..Jand provide continuous combustion and limestone regeneration data. This
data will be used to design a larger unit of «*20 MW capacity.
CSD will assumfexthe responsibility of weighing the benefits, the cost, the probability
of success, possible altemativfs, and determine how to proceed in the program.
It is felt that successfully operating a 20 MW combustor should demonstrate the
commercial feasibility of pressurized fluidized-bed combustion of coal and initiate- fuel
industry support; however, tentative plans have been included for the demonstration of a
200 MW utility unit in the event funds were made available and it is felt by EPA at that
point in time that the joint EPA-industry. program should be continued further.

The purpose of the work is to operate a 4000 ACFM ammonia scrubber to remove
S02 from a coal fired utility stack gas and to study systems for recovering S02
from the scrubber effluent.. The recovery systems allow for considerable flexibility
of scrubber solution regeneration operations (i.e. 100% evaporation, Partial
evaporation, zero evaporation with NH3 absorption in recycle scrubbing liquor,
and slurry operation). These regeneration alternates will be evaluated through
detailed engineering and preliminary economic, calculations. The more promising
alternates will be tested in the pilot plant to obtain data permiting scale up to
demonstration size units.
The pilot plant is currently undergoing shakedown operation and collection of
process data is scheduled to start in November .1972. The pilot plant is scheduled
for intermittent operation ending in May or June 1974.

The purpose of this contractual effort is to determine technical feasibility of the
power plant flue gas desulfurizing and elemental sulfur recovery process using activated
carbon as SO sorbont. The process essentially consists of sulfur oxides sorption,
sulfuric acid decomposition and active carbon regeneration stages. The reactive gas,
hydrogen sulfide, needed for sulfuric acid decomposition, is generated internally in
the active, c.arbon regeneration stage. Elemental sulfur is the byproduct of this process
Pilot plant investigations, now in progress-, are aimed to determine sets of principal
operating parameters for all process stages which then will be integrated and run
continuously for some time in a cyclic manner. This will demonstrate the technical
feasibility of this process concept on a scale of some 20,000 scfh and render necessary
technical and economic data for eventual design of a higher capacity flue.gas
desulfurizing pilot plant. . . '
This pilot plant development work, solely funded by EPA, was started on January 13,
1971 and continued until December 1, 1971. Under modified contract arrangement this
investigation was re-started for a period of ten (10) months (from September 29, 1972
to July 29, 1973) as an effort co-funde: by EPA and the Contractor.

Entraimaent separation is an essential part of wet scrubber .operation. EPA*«
Wet Scrubber System Study indicates 'that. In. many... .cases entrairrment separation is
the major source of problems in a scrubber system. Scrubber'users complain of such
operational problems as: unequal dust buildup, plugging', excessive water usage
necessary to prevent plugging, drop reentrainment, low collection efficiency and
high pressure drop; Since entrainment -separators generally operate at lower
superficial gas velocities than scrubbing, the entrainment separator is often
larger than the scrubber itself, This research is aimed .'at.« (a) solving the
operational problems associated with entrainment' separators and (b) reducing the
• s±ze of high efficiency entrainment separators,
To carry out this research the contractor will:
1, Evaluate the status, of'present technology relating to entrainment
separation,
2. 'Develop improved engineering equations and .methods for entrainment
separation selection and design.
3, Develop and test new entrainment- separator designs which offer
improved performance when compared with conventional entrainment
separators.

for these purposes.
The project was divided into three consecutive stages. The initial stage was n survey
of the geologic literature for occurrences of calcite-r'ich marls and chalks. Deposits
of marls are known to occur mainly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Texas. Chalk
deposits mainly occur in a band across portions of Kansas and Nebraska, and near Austin,
Texas. The geologic literature of the other states was checked for description of
deposits of poorly lithified and fine grained carbonate rocks, such as oolitic sands, etc.
The second stage of the study consisted.of a geologic field examination and sampling of
selected occurrences and petrographic studies of samples. Based on the literature survey
approximately five to seven occurrences of marls and chalks were selected for field
examination and sampling. The major known occurrences of these rocks were included in
the sampling program, and an effort was made to examine and collect samples.of a wide
variety of marls and chalk. Dependent on the variation of the composition of the. rocks
in the deposits (outcroppings or quarries) 3 to 6 samples at each locality were taken
for detailed petrographic studies in the laboratory. A total of 37 samples were
examined and analyzed.
The last stage will consist of the study of the pore structure of the calcined samples.
the pore volume, mean pore diameter and B.E.T. surface area data for the samples will
be obtained by a subcontract arrangement wifh a commercial laboratory. This project
was started in June, 1971 and should be completed in March, 1973

A model limestone scrubber of maximum flexibility arid utility has been designed, fabricated
and iiwtaned at the NERC-RTP facility for the purpose of conducting SO, scrubbing studies
in support of EPA's large prototype demonstration at TVA's Shawnee Powe? Plant. The scrubb
has the capability of simulating three types of "scrubbers: TCA, Venturi or Spray tower
at throughputs of 100 - 800 cfm. The layout of the model includes each of the essential
components of the complete closed-loop scrubbing system. A 9-inch diameter tower contacts
flue gas with the limestone slurry and feeds it to a 350 gal. hold tank, wjfere limestone
reactant is added. A. purge stream is.fed to a rotary vacuum filter for removal of the
reaction product. A mist eliminator mounted on the absorption tower removes entrained liqu
from the clean gas. Instrumentation and controls.<;are'::provided for accurate metering of all
process streams. Project started February, 1972, and ended July 1972 mererin8

On the basis or work carried out during 1971-72 under EPA Contract No. 68-02-0215 'jto
define the fundamental factors responsible for scaling and fouling in limestone we£
scrubbers for S02 abatement, several potential methods for control of scale have bj^en
developed. These methods will be evaluated under the present study by further bench scale
experimentation prior to demonstration in pilot scale equipment. The evaluation will proceed
along three main approaches: (1) addition of scale inhibiting compounds, including,seeds,
polyphosphates, polyacrylates, and.commercial formulations known1 to be effective in other
chemical processes where scaling is a problem; (2) promoting of inhibiting .oxidation of
sulfite, in order to control the amount of potential scale-forming compounds in the
scrubber liquor; and (3) control of process operating conditions to limit scale forming
reactions. The third approach will involve the assimilation of thermodynamic and [kinetic
information on the totality of reactions in the scrubber loop to formulate a mathematical
model of the integrated process that can be used to identify safe modes of operation with
minimal scaling potential for different scrubber types. Due to the importance of calcium
sulfite oxidation to the general scaling problem, a supplementary study will be-'ma&e to
define the mechanism of oxidation and the rates of critical steps. Project started
August, 1971, to be completed November, 1973.

lor these purposes.
The ^jcctive of this study is to evaluate the feasibility including efficiency
of operation, economics, and reliability of an open loop limestone wet scrubbing process
using seawater as the slurrying liquid. The testing will be carried out in a pair of
impingement-inspiration-entrainment scrubbers ("Dustraxtors" - trade name of manufacturer.
Zurn Industries, Inc.) installed at a new 37 megawatt steam-electric generating facility
located on Stock Island, adjacent to Key West, Florida.
The power plant and scrubber facility is owned and operated by the Utility ^
of the City of Key West, Florida, however, the scrubber installation was partially
funded by EPA under a demonstration grant (#70-1102D). The power plant will bum *6
Bunker C oil containing a maximum of 2.75 % sulfur and the alkali used in the scrubber
will be a slurry of locally available coral marl (95 + % calcium carbonate).
The test program will consists of (1) air-salt water tests (2) break-in tests
(3) screening and primary tests (4) miscellaneous optimization tests and (5) .extended
operation testing. Efficiency of operation will be characterized as a function of
the following named five independent variables, (1) limestone stoichiometry (2)' scrubber
system.- pressure drop (3) flue gas flow rate (4) slurry particle size and (5) slurry
concentration in a statistically designed test matrix. Reliability of operation will
be tested mainly in the extended operation testing.
The project was started (full scale test contract) June 30, 1970 and is anticipated
to be complete by March 1974. '.

purposes.
EPA and Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIP SCO) are to demonstrate a system -
combining the Wellman-Lord S02 recovery 'process and Allied Chemical's SO ' reduction-to-
sulfur process - at NIPSCO's coal-fired 115-MW Unit No. 11 at the D. H. Mitchell Station
in Gary, Indiana. " . •
The Wellman-Lord process, a cyclic absorption-desorption process for producing .
concentrated • SO 2 from such waste gas streams as power plant flue gas and smelter
off gases, is adaptable for use on .gas streams containing both low and relatively high
S0_ concentrations. Although its product, concentrated SO., has very limited markets,
it can be used in sulfuric acid manufacture or reduced to elemental sulfur: for this
demonstration, elemental sulfur, the more desirable of the two potential byproducts,
will be recovered. . • '
The absorbent is a solution of sodium sulfite, In the absorption cycle, the
sulfite ion reacts with SO. tp form bisulfite: SO, + S02 + H.O = 2HSO-. In the
desorption cycle, the reaction is reversed by applying heat to release SO. and
regenerate sulfite: 2HS0 - S0 '+ H0 + S0
2HS03 - S03 '+
2.
The prototype of the sulfur reduction process is a 500-ton-per-day sulfur plant
designed, constructed, and operated by Allied Chemical Co. at Sudbury, Ontario. There
the sulfur reduction plant operates on about a 12-percent SO. stream from a nickel
roaster; in this application the sulfur reduction plant will be operating on an almost
pure S02 stream.
The project started in July, 1972 and-will be completed in August, 1975.

The objective of. the Cat-Ox Demonstration is to design, construct, start-up, :
operate, and evaluate the Monsanto Cat-Ox' system. This process is intended to provide
stack gas desulfurization capability for the utility industry. Operation requires .
passing the flue gases through a high-efficiency C\-99.6X) electrostatic precipitator
and then, heating them to at least 850°F, after which they are passed through a cata-
lyst bed which converts the majority .of.the SO to SO.. After this, the temperature -
of the gases-is lowered and they proceed on to an absorption tower where the SO- com-
bines with water vapor to form sulfuric acid which is collected-as a .by-product; The
cleaned gases pass through a sulfuric acid mist eliminator and exit the stack. Over-
all S0x removal efficiency is about 85% (and deashing is essentially complete). EPA
is presently involved in a jointly funded contract with Illinois Power Co. (IP) to
install a Cat-Ox unit on a 100 MW boiler at IP's Wood River Station. Construction
was completed at the end of July of this year. .After debugging and meeting of perfor-
mance guarantees, the system will be operated for at leasf one year, dfcring which time
EPA will conduct an extensive test, program -and analysis effort so as to adequately
determine the overall technical and economic feasibility of the system. The contract
for this project Was.signed June, 1.970 and it is anticipated that all project phases
will be completed by April, 1974.

The cokemaking process is recognized as the most serious source of air pollution.
emissions in the iron and steel industry; charging of the ovens produces the greatest
emissions. EPA is currently engaged with the American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI)
in demonstrating a new charging technique for ovens which involves creating a negative
pressure in the oven during charging to prevent emissions from entering the atmosphere.
An improved charging car is provided with automatic operation and operating features.
designed to- minimize exposure of the coke charge, to the atmosphere during charging.
Under a joint 50-50 funding arrangement,- the. BPA.-AISI system has been, constructed, is
being placed into operation, and will undergo a -year-long reliability testing program.
A detailed emission testing program is being conducted to document the air pollution
control capability of the system. If successful, the system wil-1 have the effect of
significantly reducing emissions from both new and existing coke ovens at a reasonable
cost to dindustry.
.
The demonstration is being conducted .on a full scale 79- oven coke battery located
at the Pittsburgh Works of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company. The project was
started in June 1970 and will be completed in December 1973.

r the M purpose s.
Cokemaking is recognized as one of -the major unsolved emission sources in the iron
and steel industry. Most emissions occur during the operations- of charging, pushing,
and quenching. The subject Contract calls for. the design and construction of the
Enclosed Coke Pushing and Quenching System during Phase I. Phase II will consist of a
one-year emission testing and system evaluation program which will include the charac-
terization and quantification of emissions and documenting performance, including any
degradation thereof, of the emission control system and operating and maintenance
procedures and costs. . .' . .
At the completion of the cycle in conventional coking, the incandescent coke is
pushed into an open transfer car and transported to the quench station where it is
deluged with water. During the push, undistilled volatile compounds react violently
releasing' copious emissions. Substantial additional emissions occur as a resultodf
thermal drafting.
The National Steel system's innovative features include a hood over the coke
guide, an enclosed receiving/transfer car, enclosed underground hoppers and a new
controlled rate enclosed quench unit. The hood and transfer car are ventilated
through a scrubber mounted on the locomotive. Hopper emissions are also cleaned in
a scrubber while quench emissions are controlled by a demister. This system will be
applicable to all new construction, estimated to equal one-half the present capacity
over the next decade.
This jointly funded project was initiated on June 30, 1972, '--and is expected
to be complau-d by June, 1974.

Bokemaking is recognized as one of the. major unsolved emission sources in the iron
and steel industry. Most emissions occur during the operations of charging, pushing,
and quenching. As presently envisioned, the subject program will consist of a one-year
emission testing and system evaluation program which will include the characterization
and quantification of emissions and documenting performance, including any degradation
thereof, of .the emission control system and•operating and maintenance procedures and
costs. • ..'.•... ' .'''•''
* * - I*
At the completion of the cycle in conventional coking, the incandescent coke is
pushed into an open transfer car and transported to the quench station. During the
push, undistllled volatile compounds react violently releasing copious emissions.
Substantial additional emissions occur as a result of thermal drafting..
The Ford installation consists of a hood over the coke guide and modified quench
car which collects the> emisslonssaurlngc!the-"pushnand;direots-.ithemainto a. fume main.
The hood and main, are ventilated through a high energy venturi scrubber. This rela-
tively low cost control system will be applicable to virtually all existing coke plants.
It is anticipated that this project will be initiated by December,1972, and is
expected to be completed by Febraany, 1974.

The subject of this contract is a one year emission testing and system evaluation
program to be conducted.-by the Flynn & Emrich Co. on their new cup«Ja emission control
system. The objectives of this program include: • •
- Establishing the emission reduction rate and economics (both capital and
operating costs) of the system. , ''....
- Establishing optimum operating and maintenance procedures.
- Establishing factors that will enable scaling the above results to suit
various-size iron foundries.
The predominant process for melting and refining iron in the iron foundry industry
is the cupola. It is also the major'source of emissions? Conventional dust collection
systems cannot accept the high temperature, gases directly from the cupola. Cooling is
generally achieved by air dilution or water quench resulting in the loss of large amounts
of heat energy and greatly .increased total gas volumes to be cleaned. The Flynn and
Emrich system incorporates a novel dry media heat exchanger to recover this heat tiereby
thereby cooling the gases without dilution. This will result in greatly reduced gas
cleaning costs and, in addition, the recovered heat will be available as a source of
non-polluting heat in the cupola and around the foundry. It is anticipated that this
system fMll-be applicable to most if not all cupolas in the iron foundry industry as
well as other industries which are faced with the similar situation.
This contract was initiated on June 30, 1972; the technical effort is expected to
be completed in January, 1974.

This project will review and assess recent developments in NOX catalysts
to determine their technical and economic feasibility and applicability with
respect to control of NOX and. possibly other pollutants from stationary power
plants. This assessment will take into account all recent NOV catalyst
developments. Screening tests for effectiveness and resistance to typical
poisoning agents .will be made of available catalysts which have not been
tested previously under representative conditions and which show potential
for application to stationary .sources. The impact of existing or proposed
emission 'standard* on the necessity or desirability of catalysts for NOV
control will be examined. Particular attention will be paid to reducing
catalysts for the reduction of nitric oxide '(NO) to nitrogen. However,
oxidation catalysts that might oxidize NO to N02 will be considered
provided a feasible system for removing N02 can be identified. Attention
will be given to, but not . limited to, -identifying effective and more
economical non-noble metal, catalysts-. Based on the results of the study,
recommendations will be made with respect to further action to be taken
by EPA in NOX catalyst development.
The project should start in October, 1972 and be completed in
September, 1974.

A series of experiments has been completed on absorption studies of equimolar
concentrations of NO and NC>2 irt aqueous alkaline solutions of sodium
hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide. Equimolar concentra
t ions of NO and N©2 in flue gas were passed countercurrently to the variou~
alkaline solutions in a bench-scale packed column. The concentrations of NO
and N02 were from 250 ppm to 750 ppm each. Liquid velocity, gas velocity,
size of packing, and liquid temperature were the parameters varied. The
results of this experimentation indicates- that irrespective of . scrubbing
reagent concentration in the scrubbing solution, the percent removal was
between 12 to 29 percent.
In a continuation of this effort, it is planned to screen additional
candidate solutions that might be useful for the abatement of NOX. These
additional solutions may include sodium hypoiodite, sodium hypochlori&e ,
hydrogen peroxide, alkaline solutions of 2-methoxyphenol, etc. Based on
literature references, some of these solutions appear to remove NO2 quite
effectively. In addition, the effect of the presence in the flue gas of
constituents such as S02, C02, CO, 02 and ozone will be investigated as
appropriate.
These studies are in support of the Division's effort to develop effluent g ;
cleaning technology as an effective means of NOX control, and the results a :
used to guide various research efforts, to evaluate research grant applica-
tions and proposals!; and to explore new concepts and approaches.
The project was started in July, 1970 and is expected to continue through

This program is for the design, development, demonstration, and delivery of probes
to measure temperature, chemical species, and velocity, in flames. The program will
seek to combine advanced aerospace technology with conventional flame measurement
uethods to produce a probe, or set of probes, which cause minimum disturbance to the
flame, yet accurately measure the phenonon of interest. The probes will be designed
to function in gas, oil, and pulverized coal flames without fouling. If possible,
the three measurements will be combined into one probe. Target specifications.are:
Teuperature: 2000° to 3600° F i .5° with response time of 1 mil sec.,.Chemical
species considered: Stable species: NO (5 ppiii) , H2 (1000 ppin), 02 (1000 ppm) ,

This program will seek to accomplish two goals via pulsed holographic techniques.
The first will be to employ holographic interferometry to obtain a three dimensional .
temperature profile from a gas burner. The burner can be made to operate as a
diffusion flame burner or as a premixe.d flame burner. The interferometrically
derived temperature data will be compared with temperature data obtained from thermo-
c'ouples in the flame. Upon accomplishment of satisfactory results .in .the gas flame,
the technique wil-l then be applied to a small scale oil- burner. By generating an
accurate three dimensional temperature profile a much better Insight into the
formation of NOV within the flame should result.
A
The second program objective will be to accurately characterize the light scattering
signatures from laonodisperse particulate. The size ranges of interest will be from
submicron to. 100 microns diameter. Four .variables will be evaluated to assess _the
feasibility''of recording particulate in the one micron 'size range^ia'ar.aTt-proH i

The objective of this .study is to develop a mathematical model based on sound fundamental
principles eventually capable of predicting pollutant emissions in both classical and
new concept combustion systems. The approach is to use a high speed computer routine
for the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations 'for simultaneous'heat, .
mass, and momentum transfer with chemical reaction. This code forms"thT'baSls "for"the""
work and is similar to the elliptic flow routine recently developed by Spalding et. al.
at Imperial College, England. The .base program (termed CRISTY) is currently being updated
to accommodate radiant heat transfer (four flux),- finite rate chemical kinetics, and a
more realistic turbulence model. Each step of the code development is being checked by
comparison with experimental data currently being obtained, at the" Institute.'of Gas
Technology. The latter stages of this work.will be directed' at "a combined experimental?
theoretical analysis to improve the effective viscosity model through better accounting of
urbulent fluctuations with time. .
TheNultimate benefit of this program will be a predictive tool for use in data correlation
and Control strategy optimization. This work was initiated in June, 1972 and is anticipated
to carryyon into FY-75.in support of process studies.

It has been demonstrated that the chemically bound nitrogen present in heavy fuel oils
and coals are partially converted to nitrogen oxides (NO^) in the combustion process
and may contribute a major portion of the total NOX from stationary combustion sources.
The objective of this research program is to define the mechanisms and .kinetics of
fuel nitrogen conversion.to NOX and other products, to determine the,fate of nitrogen
not converted to NO- and to generate information to optimize control 'of fuel NOX by
combustion modification. • . •' .'-.'".-
The experimental portion of the study will include both fuel decomposition.and combustion
experiments. In the fuel decomposition studies the sample being studied will be rapidly
heated to achieve a time temperature history simulating that of the fuel in a furnace.
The decomposition will be studied under inert and slightly oxidizing atmospheres and all
products will be identified to determine important nitrogen containing"'species. The
fuels to be studied are ten heavy fuel oils and ten coals selected to have a wide range
of -properties. In addition selected pure nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds
will' be studied. Based on these results the combustion kinetics studies will be defined
mathematical modeling will be used- to aid in interpretation and generalization of the
results.
The duration of the project is July 1972 through February 1974.

lor these purposes.
The objective of this program is to define the mechanisms and chemistry of the.formation
and destruction of N0x and other pollutants in a combustion environment simulating actual
conditions. The approach employs experimental.combustion systems combining the capability
of studying various conditions (diffusion flames, permixed flames, well stirred environments)
with controlled temperature distributions. The initial phase focused upon the coupling between
N0x and hydrocarbon chemistry using H CO, methane and propane as fuels. The next phase
is aimed at defining the mechanism and kinetics of known combustion modification techniques.
Later phases will examine the chemistry of oil and-coal combustion. This program has also
focused upon review of kinetic rate literature in an effort to establish mechanistic schemes
consistent with the experimental data. The modeling tools for use in this correlation are
those already delivered by Ultra Systems (68-02-0270). Ultimately, this program will
provide insight into the factors fundamental to the formation of pollutants. The work was
begun in November 1971 and it is anticipated that it will continue into P?76

There is evidence that NO in turbulent diffusion flames may be formed in localized areas
approaching adiabatic flame temperatures. The objective of this research program is to
study one possibility, a small well-stirred reactor and to determine the relationship
of reactor properties.and conditions to NO formation.
The experimental apparatus utilizes a bluff body to generate a well-stirred reactor region
in the wake. The residence time can be varied by changing.free stream velocity and the
temperature by changing the stoichiometry of the inlet stream. Temperature and NO con-
centration are measured spectroscopically in the-reactor and overall NO .is measured
downstream in the flue.with the mass spectrometer. Cold flow experiments and mathematical
modeling are used to extend the results of the study..
The duration of this study is April 1972 to March 1973.

The objective of this .research program is to develop the data necessary to reduce pollutant
omissions from heavy oil and pulverized coal fired industrial furnaces. This work will
provide essential information on the relationship of various burner design parameters,
operating conditions,'and furnace interactions to formation of nitrogen oxides and other
pollutants.
The research program was structured to "determine the relationship between various burner
design and operating parameters, and pollutant formation with emphas.is on nitrogen oxides.
The research is being conducted in a 10?. BIU/hr..'experimental furnace capable of firing
natural gas, fuel oil or pulverized coal. The furnace has access posts to allow detailed
temperature, composition and velocity measurement using a variety of flame probes. The
variables examined to date include excess air, percent primary air supplied as carrier
for the'coal, inlet air, swirl, fuel velocity and bound nitrogen concentration in the coa
A scries or input-output tests are made to .determine the overall trends of NOX emissions
with the various parameters for natural ga's and coal. Based on.these results the flames
to be probed in detail were selected. The results indicate that rapid mixing of coal
with air promotes high NOX values, while devolatization of the coal in an air difficient
envlronmentaproduces lower NOX. The results also indicate that bureau design changes
have the potential for producing lower NOX emissions.
The duration of this project is from June 1971 through September 1974.

The purpose of this project is to perform timely in-house (EPA) evaluation of promising
combustion modification techniques and to develop new concepts for the control of NO and
unburned hydrocarbon emissions. The approach is:to experimentally study the combustion of
natural .gas, No. 2 oil, and coal in a 300,000 BTU/hr laboratory combustor. The test rig
allows both hot wall (refractory) and quick quench (water-wall) studies. Initial testing
is being concentrated upon the relationship of burner design to the effectiveness of flue
gas recirculation and staged combustion for controlling pollutant, emissions. The program
is to provide direct support and guidance for.larger, scale contractual work on-going at
B«,W (68-02^0634) and IGT (68-02-0216). Special attention is given to problems associated
with coal firing such as slagging, flame stability, etc. The ultimate goal of this progra
is the control of thermal, and fuel nitrogen through industrially acceptable means. This
work was initiated in;WJi&y . .(• 1972 and will continue into 1976 in support of pilot scale
studies.' ,. . r

The objective of this research program is to determine the critical flame characteristics
of conventional high pressure atomizing distillate oil burners and to relate these characti -
istics to pollutant emissions. Based on this information a versatile experimental burner
is to be designed and used to study design parameters critical to- controlling air pollutant
emissions and combustion efficiency. The experimental burner design should be compatible
with that of commercially available high, pressure atomizing distillate oil burners.
Experimental work has been conduction luminous flame high pressure distillate oil burners
in the 1 to 12 gallon .per hour range. Gold flow measurements of' air flow patterns, fuel
droplet size and fuel distributions have been made. Flow patterns, 'local pollutant measure
ments and flue gas measurements have been made under hot fire conditions. A first generation
versatile burner was constructed and tested with some encouraging results. Investigation
of additional design concepts are being pursued in an attempt to produce further reduction
oi- emissions of NO .
The project was started in June .1971.and completion is expected in June 1973.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or !•**.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress aro exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used
lor these purposes.
This project provides in-house capability to perform timely evaluation of promising com-
bustion modification techniques for control of NO and related pollutant emissions (C, CO,
HC). Additionally, it provides definitive guidance in development of'contract efforts
especially in the industrial area. The project will develop meaningful data suitable for
scale-up to larger commercial equipment.
The approach utilizes versatile experimental furnaces to evaluate potential combustion
techniques under controlled conditions. The furnaces have capability for gas firing as a
baseline case, however, the primary emphasis is on oil combustion. Follow-on work could
evaluate fuels-of-the-future (low BTU gas, mixed fuels, etc.). The'full gamut of operating
variable will be evaluated from fuel through process. Control of NO from thermal and fuel
effects is the ultimate goal; however, full consideration will be given to tho practical
aspects of fuel combustion, i.e. combustion and .process efficiency.
This project provides personnel with valuable first-hand operating experience with the
potential of combustion modifications for control of pollutant emissions. It will define
potential problem areas and quantitate the effectiveness of these combustion modifications.
Of equal importance is the impact that these studies will have on rational and expeditious
development of contract efforts in the industrial area.

combustion of new fuels that are projected fo* major use in the future. This project will
evaluate the air pollutant control potential for a wide, range of liquid, gaseous, and solid
fuels. All of the investigation will be performed under controlled laboratory conditions
and will provide information that will establish the air pollutant emission picture of fue!
in different combustion systems. A. series of fuels will be tested for emission character-
istics over a wide range of conditions .with appropriate combustors. This series will
include heavy oils, desulfurized heavy oils, distillate oils, crude oil, methanol, low and
BTU gases, and coal. A survey of fuels will be made, concentrating on obtaining inforraatic.
(cost, composition, etc.) about fuels in present use and new "clean" fuels that may become
major energy sources as new air pollution control regulations are passed. This research
project was started during July, 1972 .and is scheduled for completion in June, 1977..

for these purposes.
The objective of this study is to provide design criteria to minimize NO emissions from
gas fired systems, .while maintaining satisfactory emission levels of other pollutants
(CO, unbumed fuel) and system efficiency. The approach is to direct the initial work at
single burner furnace design. Variables to be considered include fuel input rate, air fuel.
stoichiometric ratio, air/fuel momentum ratio, location and strength of recirculation,
turbulence, burner inlet design and heat removal rate. Each will be evaluated over a wide ..
range including that typical of current practice on a 10* BTU/hr furnace. Later work
will consider multi-jet single burners, opposed jet burners and'multiburner systems. These
criteria will be applicable to design of all the full range of gas burners, from small
residential to multiburner utility boilers and will provide a model or basis for control
of emissions from oil and coal fired systems.
This program was initiated in June, 19.71 and will continue into FY-76.

This project provides quick response low cost capability to evaluate and screen promising
combustion modifications to control NO and related pollutant emissions (C, CO, HC and
particulates) t"rom wall coal fired utility boilers. The study will utilize an experiments
500 pound per hour coal-fired combustor geometrically and functionally equivalent to a
utility boiler. Included among the combustion modifications to be evaluated are: low
excess air firing, .off stoichiometric firing,, and flue gas recirculation through the coal-
pulverizers and secondary air supply of the burner windboxes. These studies will provide
definitive guidance and direction for larger .scale, longer term studies, on full size
multiburner coal-fired utility boilers and will minimize^-exploratory studies on large
equipment with techniques that show marginal promise for reduction of NO and related
pollutant emissions. Significant cost and time saving will ultimately be realized through
this study. The work will be-performed at the U. S. Bureau of Mines facility at Bruteton Pa
Starting date of this project is October 1972. . Completion date is May 1973.

The objective of this study is to characterize the emissions from and develop, emission factors
for utility boilers and to determine the state-of-the-art in combastion control for this
equipment. The effects of combustion modification techniques (e.g. staged combustion, low
excess air, flue gas recirculation, etc.) on pollutant emissions .and boiler, operation will
be determined. Utility boilers typical of current design (e.g. tangential, frontwall, etc.)
which are suitable for implementing combustion modification techniques will be tested.
Emphasis will be placed on coal-fired boilers because of high NO emissions and because of
operating problems sudh as slagging and fouling which are encountered when combustion modifi-
cation techniques are employed. The program will-"include preliminary tests in which the
effect of combustion modification on air pollutant emissions will be determined, interim
tests in which the optimum combinations of these techniques will be employed to determine the
effect on slagging, fouling, and flame.impingement, and two week tests in which tube
corrosion data will..be obtained. Some tests will be made to determine the effect on tube
corrosion over a six-month period. In' recent tests, NO reductions of up to 40 percent have
been achieved at full load with coal-fired utility boilers without creating slagging or
fouling problems. Tube corrosion effects are still being investigated. The .project was
started in February, 1972 and will be completed in December, 1973.

The objective of this study is to characterize the emissions from and develop emission, factor
for residential and commercial heating equipment, and to determine the state-of-the-art ir
combustion control for this equipment. The effect of combustion parameters (e.g. excess £ •,
load, burner design, etc.) on pollutant emissions and boiler operation, and the effect of
time on burner performance, will be determined. Residential and commercial furnaces and
boilers typical of current design will be selected and tested according to sound statistic
principles. Units .will be tested which fire natural gas, Nr>:. 2 oil, and/or No. 6 oil. Al .,
a low sulfur residual oil will be fired as a .reference fuel in-all commercial boilers tested!
Each unit will be tested in an "as found" and "tuned" condition in addition to tests to
determine the effects of combustion parameters. Reliable emission factors for residential
and commercial furnaces and boilers will be obtained from this program. It will also show
what can be done today to reduce emissions from existing equipment. Information will be
obtained which can be used by manufacturers to .aid them in the design of low emission equi
ment and by owners and operators to help them learn how to operate existing equipment to
achieve low emissions. This wprk is being-performed on various domestic furnaces and
commercial boilers throughout the U. S. The project was started in October, 1971 and will
be completed in September 1973.

The overall objectives.of this research project are to determine the characteristic air
pollutant emission levels from: (1) existing conventional combustion equipment, (2) pro-
totype combustion equipment and, (3) modified combustion equipment. All of this investiga-
tion will be performed under controlled laboratory conditions and will provide information
that will establish the performance capability of a wide range of furnaces, boilers, and .
engines. The potential for various hardware .and operating modifications to control emission
levels will be determined using actual commercial combustion equipment. A series of
combustors will be tested for emission characteristics over a broad range of operating
conditions with appropriate fuel types. This series will include scotch marine and firebox
firetube package boilers, a steel-lined and cast iron boiler and a gas turbine engine for
the initial work with other units to be added later in the program. A series of equipment
modifications such as different burner'designs, nozzles, etc. will be evaluated for
emission control effects. Commercial -combustion equipment will be surveyed to identify
burners with significant design differences with emission control potential. This research
project was started July, 1972 and is scheduled to run to June, 1977.

tot ikes* purposei.
The objective of this program is the commercial scale co-sponsored demonstration
of Nitric Acid Industry control using molecular sieves. Successful demonstration is
expected to decrease emissions from nitric acid plants to well under 50 ppm - perhaps
as low as an orderuor magnitude below existing standards (^209 ppm for new plants).
Molecular sieves are alumlnosilicate structures which contain uniformly sized pores.
By proper choice of the sieve species, it is possible to selectively adsorb various
gaseous molecules (such as NO ). In commercial operation, NO -laden gases would be
passed through a sieve bed until the.bed's capacity was reached:- at that time, the gas
stream would be. switched to' a second bed while the first bed was being regenerated by
heat and cooled so that it could again be used when the second bed reached "breakthrough".
Since there are no emissions until breakthrough occurs, rapid bed switching allows
emission levels to be kept very low. To this end, EPA has signed an interagency agree-
ment with the U. S. Army to provide for;the installation of such a device on an Army-
owned nitric acid plant at Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, Tennessee. The
agreement was signed in June 1972; start-up .is intended for Jan. 1974 and will be followed
by an extensive test program of at least 1 year's duration. All program phases should
be completed by April 1975.

The capacity and rate of adsorption of low concentrations less than 100 ppm of
odorous compounds from air on various charcoal adsorbents are studied in a
fixed bed adsorption apparatus. Gas mixtures of desired composition are pre-
pared from diffusion tubes and are analyzed by gas chromatograph. Parameters
studied include temperature, bed height, flow rate, gas concentration, and type
of adsorbent. Studies with ethyl mercaptan indicated.catalytic oxidation at
room temperature. Adsorption capacity of acetaldehyde was found to depend on
bed height below four inches. Solid-phase diffusional resistance was found to
be the rate controlling step for aldehyde adsorption. Further studies on the
kinetics and mechanism of adsorption leading to the design of efficient sorption
devices for odor control for a wide variety of sources are in progress. This
project was started in September, 1970 and is expected to continue through
September, 1973. - '

The cost and effectiveness of various odor control methods applicable to the
rendering industry were compared by computer calculations. Design, analysis and
comparison of the cost for equaLef £.e.ctivenessjindicated that wet scrubbers were
most promising for further experimental investigation and development. Gas
chromatographic analysis was used to identify odorous components in rendering
plant emissions. Scrubbing tests were conducted with a packed column to select
the aqueous reagents and to study the mass.transfer characteristics for absorption
of the identified.odorous compounds in the concentration" range encountered' in the
rendering plant emissions. Further tests will be conducted to optimize the scrubber
system design, operating conditions, and selection of aqueous reagents.

The first objective' is to further-improve the performance .of the cruocbhdensers
developed for the field collection and concentration of atmospheric trace hydrocarbons
to maximize field utility, collection precision and component identification.
The second objective is to separate the collected 'trace organics into four fractions;
1. methane; 2. light hydrocarbon fraction 02 to €4; 3. intermediate €5 to Cg fraction
including isqprenet and 4. the aromatic and terpene 'fraction Cf to CJQ. The necessity
of this objective is indicated by'the observation that plant foliages emit many more
compounds to the atmosphere than isoprene and terpenes. These studies will yield
an increase in sensitivity, accuracy of .component identification and also provide a
balanced quantitative analysis of atmospheric Cj to C^Q compounds.
The third objective is to improve the gas chromatographic analysis of the trace
atmospheric organics collected. To achieve this objective, greater resolution of the
numerous peaks (10 to 60) presently separated by packed column analyses of rural
and recreational atmospheres must be obtained for more precise identification of
these peaks.

analytical reagents for sulfur dioxide in air. We have found a class of compounds
exemplified by 2.5-dimercapto-l,3,4-thiadiazole and related anions that is selective
as colorimetric or piezoelectric reagents. The reaction is reversible and releases
sulfur dioxide slowly at room temperature from either the solid compounds or their
solutions, or rapidly at elevated temperatures. The gain in mass of the reagent on
a quartz oscillator crystal changes the frequency of that crystal in relation a
reference crystal. The frequency change can serve as the basis for telemetry. The
reversibility of the reaction makes the reagent self-renewing.
Compounds formed between certain triphenylmethane dye cations and azo dye anions
supported on alumina show promise as cumulative reagents for passive monitoring.
One such compound undergoes permanent change in color upon exposure to sulfur
dioxide. Another changes color reversibility and would be self-renewing. The low
solubility of a third type provides a reagent solution of reproducible concentration
containing as an internal colormetric standard the non-reactive azo dye anion. Salts
of oxohydroxobis(8-hydroxyquinolino)vanadium(V) have been found to respond
non-selectively to sulfur dioxide and other acid producing gases with change in
color from yellow to intense black.

lor these purposes.
Photochemical reactions are initiated by absorption of visible or ultraviolet
radiation and occur, typically, as a series of chemical reactions involving free
radical, atomic, or other unstable intermediate species. The understanding of a
photochemical reaction requires the identification of.these chemical steps and the
highly reactive intermediates. For simple photochemical reactions, the mechanism
in terms of steps and species can be deduced from kinetic measurements of rates of
formation of all products. However, for reactions of only moderate complexity, a
kinetic study of reactants and products is insufficient, We must observe the
intermediates and measure their lifetimes in order to understand complex photo-
chemical reactions. Our research goal is to develop spectroscopic and mass
spectroscopic methods of direct observations of free radical intermediates - at
very low concentrations - in order to clarify the mechanism of photochemical reactions.

for these purposes.
Raman scattering from^atmospheric molecules may be detected remotely using the
sampling technique devised by us. The use of a Fabry-Perot interferometer allows
the gain in signal to be more than ten thousand over usual methods. Concentration
down to tens of parts per million of gases should be -detectable at ranges exceeding
0.5 km. The'technique has the advantages of low cost of the sampling apparatus,
stability of the instrument, readout in a form that, is directly a function of the
molecular concentration and temperature, and that requires, no spectroscopic know-
ledge on the part of the operator. The apparatus is small and easily portable
and can be used with optics of modest quality for light collection.
The technique will also be extended to the use of fluorescence spectra for
molecular species. In addition to the value for atmospheric pollutant detection, the
method will be powerful in the study of molecular spectra for the determination
of'.rotational constants, and vibrational interaction constants such as the Fermi-
Resonance interaction matrix elements which cannot be obtained so easily or as
accurately by other methods of spectroscopy. These results are natural offshoots
of the proposed research program.

The objective of this project is-to examine critically and to improve the
present technology for air sampling and analysis. Attention will be focussed
on the application of newly developed instrumental systems and detectors to utilize
their capabilities for improved separations and for high sensitivities in the
nanogram range. (Solid absorbent reagents will be sought for convenient and stable
sample collection. Either the test substance or a characteristic reaction product
will be liberated for analysis and determined with an instrumental system). Basic
theoretical relationships will be 'developed for sampling parameters.
Practical applications for more sensitive and specific analytical methods
will be sought to met the needs of air quality standards, and for non-urban
.background studies.. Simplifications, multiple pollutant procedures, and improved
means for calibration, standardization and automation of these systems will be
developed.

Large discrepancies exist for seoond order rate constants for the reaction of
ozone with internal olefins. Rate constants determined at reactant concentrations
of microatmospheres differ appreciably from those determined at milliatmospheres.
It is proposed to remove these discrepancies by measuring the second order rate
constants from microatmosphere concentrations to milliatmosphere concentrations
using the same experimental method. It is proposed, as well, to quantitatively
measure the reactivity of aldehydes and ketones wi.th ozone in the gas phase.
Evidence for chemi-decomposition of'ozone will be sought.
A gas phase "stopped flow" apparatus will be constructed to perform the
proposed research. Ozone concentrations will be measured by a multiple-reflection
light absorption apparatus. From the time-decay curves of ozone concentration,
second order rate constants can be calculated.

loi theie purposes.
Fluorescence from a gas can be -caused to occur by excitation at a wavelength in the
characteristic absorption regions of. the spectra followed by the emission.at wavelengths
equal to or longer than the exciting wavelength. The use of a fluorescent measurement
for the detection of trace gases depends on the energy per wavelength interval available
from the excitation source and on the reduction of spurious radiation at the position of
the detector of fluorescence. Since radiation at the excitation wavelength which is
scattered into the detector constitutes a spurious signal, these two requirements are
mutually exclusive unless the scattered radiation is reduced by filtering or by elimination
of scattering surfaces.
The objective of the present program is to use an inexpensive dye laser to excite
fluorescence in NO?. The high energy per wavelength interval of a laser source as
compared to a broadband source and the output beam collimation are ideal features for
an exciting source. The laser beam passes through a chamber maintained at reduced
pressures and a photomultiplier tube is mounted perpendicular to the axis of the beam in
order to'collect fluorescent photons, at wavelengths longer than that of the source.

dilutions in. air-, and (d) Essentially absent from the normal atmosphere. Historically, .
sulfur hexafluoride (SFO). has been a .preferreti meteorological tracer but, because of the
escape:of sizeable amounts to the atmosphere Incident to certain Industrial uses, is papidly
becoming less attractive. (Its concentration-in the global atmosphere has increased from
about l.O'1-* to 10~^ during the period from 1965 to 1971). '• , . . .

government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used
for these purposes.
The primary objectives of this work are to provide an improved method for the direct
measurement of N02 and a technique for trace concentrations (<10 ppb) of atmospheric Nh'v
Current chemiluminescent methods for N02 are indirect in that an external conversion of
N02 to NO is required; the electronics are complicated by the requirement for this differentia
measurement. Measurement of NH3 would be of value in studies such as RAPS, in which the
role of NH3 in pollutant transformations is to be determined. In order to provide these
prototypes, two chemiluminescent approaches appear most feasible. N02 can be detected by
a photofragment technique which gives a direct read-out in terms of concentration. N02 on
entering the detector is photolyzed to provide oxygen atoms which are detected by their
chemiluminescent reaction with added NO. An appropriate filter-photomultiplier combination
can be used to remove the 03 interference-. Alternatively, with a different filter-photo-
multiplier combination, the same detector can provide a direct read-out of N02 and 03. The
most attractive procedure for NH3 at present is a thermal conversion to NO, and detection of
NO by conventional 03 + NO chemiluminescence. Both these approaches for N02 and NH3 have
been demonstrated on the bench-scale and atmospheric measurements have been made. Some
final optimization of instrument parameters remain. Finally portable prototypes will be
constructed which will be evaluated in the field.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or less.) - In the Science Informorion Exchange summon 6t of work in progress ore exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request tuch information. Your summary is to bo used
lor these purposes.
The instrumental technique for oxides of nitrogen which has proven most successful
in field applications employs the chemiluminescent detection of NO with excess Qj. N02
is measured differentially after a thermal conversion to NO. .Following the initial
development by EPA, several instrument companies are providing commercial versions of
this detector. These commercial units are just now being employed widely by various 'Federal.,
State and local agencies. Because of the accumulation of data which wiil ensue'.from.-such
instruments, it is vitally important that all questions on instrument performance or
potential problems be thoroughly investigated in the laboratory. Two areas of continuing
investigation are in the thermal conversion step of N02 to NO and a study of potential
interferences from nitrogen compounds in the atmosphere. The various commercial units
use different kinds of N02 converters. Some of these may suffer from an NIU interference
and for most the efficient conversion lifetime is unknown. A primary objective of this •
study is to provide a standard recipe for a long life-time, efficient conversion process,
against which all others may be compared. Methods for removing the NHj interference havo
been described. Using the current converters, potential interferences such as PAN, organic
nitrites and nitrj£esjj an<* NN°3 are being tested.

government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used
for these purposes. -''
Recent advancements have been made in the measurement of nitrogen .dioxide and ozone.
An instrument has been fabricated which uses the chemiluminescent reaction of ozone and
ethylene to measure ozone. Instruments using this method have been found to be sensitive
and give very"reproducible" "results. Also recently designed and built is a monitor which
uses the chemiluminescent reaction of ozone and nitric oxide to measure nitric oxide and the
quahtitative""conyersion of nitrogen dioxide by a converter to nitric oxide for measurement
of nitrogen dioxide. This method is also very sensitive and specific.
Since these instruments utilize new measurement techniques it is important that they
be compared to more classical and accepted methods, for the measurement of NO2 and 03: This
evaluation study will compare the continuous chemiluminescent monitors with colormetric and
couloraetric monitors. The study will be performed under lab conditions. Parameters to be
checked include instrument drift, stability, correlation between measurements and response
data under actual sampling conditions. The instruments will be calibrated using standard
procedures for generating known concentrations of desired gases. Once the calibration is
completed, the instruments will sample ambient air continously for a three month period.
Once a week the instruments will be calibrated. A complete log of instrument'failures and
maintenance requirements will be kept. The results of the study will'show the manner the
new methods perform in relation to the more accepted methods and also how all methods tested
perform under sampling conditions. Design for the test procedures will be completed by 9/1/72

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words of lets.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress are exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to bo used
tor these purposes.
Much of the field sampling .for.nitrogen dioxide has been carried out by the use of
a manual bubbler methods This colorimetric method has been used because of its low cost
and lack of other acceptable method to replace it.. There are certain limitations using
this manual method. There has existed a need for a low cost continuous instrument which
willijgive more reliable data and also give a greatertamount of information. Such a monitor
has recently been fabricated which will give a continuous measurement for N02 and
will be relatively inexpensive. This is a electrochemical device using a membrane and
a sealed cell.
In this evaluation study, the new monitor will be evaluated in terms of its general
response characteristics. Also it will be compared to the manual method and other instru-
mental methods for the measurement of. N02. The study will take place partly in the lab and
partly under field sampling conditions. The methods used in this study include the low
cost continuous N02 monitor, the 24-hour .bubbler and one or more type of continuous
monitor (chemiluminescent, colorimetric). Certain parameters will be checked in the lab
to determine the general response characteristics for the electrochemical device. These
include response time, drift and calibration. When the lab tests are complete, the
different devices will sample ambient air 'for at least one month. During this time data
will be gathered to determine the correlation between the electrochemical device and the
other methods.

Birefringent Filter for Optical Monitoring.
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
The object of this effort is the development of an accurate, simple, small
lightweight, inexpensive, and dependable field instrument for optical monitoring
of air pollutants, with initial concentration on S02 near 2900 H and NO, near
4300 A. The instrument is a new approach to spectral analysis of pollutants and
would employ a tunable birefringent filter whose bandpass would be selective to
several major peaks in the absorption spectra of the air pollutant. The instrument
would have all the advantages of a correlation spectrometer, but few of its dis-
advantages, in particular, size, weight, and cost would all be appreciably less.
It is believed that a production-line instrument based upon this development
instrument would be lightweight and compact; e.g. the receiving optics, birefringent
filter, and detector, and also the transmitter optics and source could each fit
into a 10 inch cylinder of 3 inch diameter, while the' electronics package would
be on the order of 10 pounds, excluding recorders.

government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be uaad
(or these purposes.
Monitoring for ambient concentrations of S02 is now carried out by the combination
of continuous instrumentation (photometric coulometric, colorimetric) and manual methods
(bubblers, lead candle). There has been a need for a low cost S02 monitor which will run
for long periods unattended and give reliable results.. A monitor is being built which uses
a sealed electrochemical cell as its measurement principle. The design is condusive to low
cost and low maintenance.
This study will^ take the prototype monitor once complete and evaluate it in terms of
its general response characteristics and also by a field comparison study with other
instruments. Methods used in the comparison study will include one or more continuous
instrument (photometric, colorimetric) and the new electrochemical device. Parameters
that will initially be checked will be response time, drift, reproducibility and
calibration. The instruments will be calibrated using standard procedures for generating
known concentrations of SCVj. Once these.parameters are checked the instrument will
sample ambient air for an extended period. The instruments will be calibrated once a
week arid-a complete log of instrument failures and maintenance will be kept. The results
of the study will show if the new electrochemical device meets desired specifications
and if the instruments will perform correctly for long time periods. The instrument
will be fabricated by 8/1/72 and field evaluation will be completed by 5/1/74.

Ambient concentrations' of CO are now.measured by a non-dispersive infrared .technique.
This method has been widely usfed, but.suffers from some limitations. Certain charges are
>eing made which will improve the existing NDIR method. Other infrared techniques are
low being explored for possible use in CO measurement.
In this study the newly developed spectrometric techniques will be evaluated against
the present NDIR and also against the.gas chromatographic CO monitor. The study will be
divided into two parts.. The first part of the evaluation study will be a lab evaluation
of the general performance characteristics of the new instrument method. The second part of.
the study will be a field evaluation in which all of the. instruments, will sample ambient air.
In the lab study certain parameters will be checked for the new spectrometric devices. These
include, sensitivity, interferences, drift, response time and calibration. The field evalu-
ation wi'll consist of sampling with weekly calibration. Correlation of instrument response,
and calibration drift will be checked.
These evaluations will show whether the newly developed and improved spectrometric method
:ompares favorably with the more accepted methods for the CO measurement. The lab-evaluation
be completed by 1/1/74 and the field evaluation will be completed by.8/1/74.

A non-dispersive infrared device has been used to measure ambient concentrations of
CO. Certain problems exist with the use of this instrument, such as, interference from water
vnnor and drift of the response signal. In an effort to make measurement of CD more
reliable a prototype instrument has been developed which uses gas chromatography to measure
CO. The chromatograph has a flame ionization detector and also has a catalytic converter
to convert CO to methane so the CO can be detected in the flame. .It is possible with_ .this
instrument to make CH^, CO and total hydrocarbon measurements. This instrument is specifically
for CO and has other features whi-ch make it a possible method of the measurement of CO.
In this evaluation study, the G. C. method for CO measurement will be compared with
N'PIP. method now used. F.ach method will be evaluated in terms of response, drift, interference,
stability, and sensitivity. The instruments will be calibrated using standard mixtures of
CO at known concentrations. Both instruments, will monitor ambient air and the response data
will be compared. A log of instrument failure and maintenance requirements will be kept. The
evaluation will be completed by 8/1/74. Project commenced 10/72.

Gas lasers which have spectral .output frequencies which occur near absorption
gradients in the infrared band structure of a pollutant gas, can be used to monitor
the concentration of the pollutant. This is accomplished by Zeeman splitting the laser
line into two lines by placing the lasing medium (discharge tube) in a magnetic field.
The two lines then fall at different frequencies on the absorption gradient, leading to
a differential absorption, when passed through ah atmosphere containing the
.. pollutant. The system to be evaluated was originally assembled under Contract No.
68-02-0203 and was intended to test the ideas concerning coincidence absorption which
were advanced by the project officer, Dr. P. Hanst.'
The objective of th/e evaluation program is to use the instrument in laboratory
absorption experiments in order to determine its sensitivity, the extent of interferences,
and other relevant parameters. Accurately calibrated concentrations of HCHO can be
established in an inhouse constructed multipass cell.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words 01 lets.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress are exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such Information. Your summary is to to usod
lor these purposes.
Ambient concentrations of HC1, C12 and acid gases are not measured using certain
manual electrochemical techniques. These procedures have for the most part lacked the
sensitivity and specificity to accurately characterize the concentration of these
pollutants in the atmosphere. There has been a definite need for a continuous or
semicontinuous monitor which will measure accurately HC1, C12 and the-,'acid gases. At
the present time, a new prototype electrochemical monitor is being constructed which will
satisfy these demands.
In this evaluation study the new prototype instrument will be studied both in the
lab and in the field. The laboratory evaluation will consist of calibration, response
characteristics, interference checks, and sensitivity measurements. The instrument will
monitor known concentrations of C12 and HC1. The field evaluation will take place at
a selected sampling site. The monitor will measure ambient air for an extended period.
Reference measurements will be made both in the lab and in the field by existing measure-
ment techniques. The results of the evaluation study will determine if the new prototype
electrochemical monitor is superior.to the techniques now used. The lab evaluation will
be completed by 4/1/73 and the field evaluation will be completed by 8/1/75. Project
will commence 11/72.

TITLE OF PROJECT
Collection and

USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUH PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY •
(NOT TO E XCEE D 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
Support-bonded silicones have been invented, and their potential
for collecting organic compounds from the atmosphere demonstrated, in
our laboratory over the last two years. In this project we propose
to further develop and test model systems for the collection and
subsequent analysis of organic air pollutants. . To"this purpose, the
chemistry of surpoYt-bonded liquid phases will be further explored,
model polymers with various functional groups synthesized and chemically
bonded ontoHTert supports in extremely thick layers. Suitable
cartridges containing these materials will be used to demonstrate remote,
high'-: speed sampling - at ambient temperature - of air pollutants from
natural and man-made sources at typical urban and rural locations in
Missouri. Only a pump needs to be used with the cartridge, which can
be sealed and mailed to the laboratory. There, equipment developed
from a present prototype will serve in the counter-current extraction
of these "full" cartridges. The subsequent analysis of the extractea
and concentrated air pollutants will make predominant use of instrumen-
tation based on gas chromatograohv: Capillary columns, selective GLC
detectors, coupled hi^h-resolution mass spectrometry, pre-column
subtraction loops, and the like. Finally,- the synthesis and application
of the inexpensive types of support-bonded materials will be investigated
for the removal of typical organic compounds from simulated, gaseous oiar.-
effluents. These compounds will subsequently be reclaimed, and the
support-bonded material re-used, in a prototype recycling process.

Since gases have characteristic absorption spectra, the output from a tunable source
can be matched to specific absorption maxima to enhance the extent of absorption. -Large
amounts of ^energy can be transferred by absorption, using tunable laser sources which'provide
. if high amount of energy per wavelength interval. Energy absorbed by a- specific gas is
subsequently transferred mainly in two way's:' (1) spontaneous emission, (2) collisional
deexcitation. In infrared, the collisional deexcitation is more likely. .Periodic pulsing
of an IR laser source thus can lead to periodic pressure variations, the magnitude of
which .can be related to concentration of the absorbing gas. • - • . '
" . . •
The purpose of this project is to construct an apto-acpustic detector based on designs
of previous investigators-and evaluate the feasibility of making concentration measurements
with the device. Tunable laser sources'such as a dye laser and possibly a COo gas laser
will be adapted to the experiment! These two sources 'can also be used in strict absorption
measurements using a multipass cell which has been constructed inrhouse.

It has been shown that when a beam from a C02 laser (\l0.6u) passes through a
vapor of organic cocpounds, the latter are caused to vibrate and become excited.
They then relax and fluoresce on the infrared region of the spectrum. The fluores-
cence spectrum is very similar to the IR absorption spectrum and can therefore be
used to identify the compound in the vapor. In addition, the fluorescence intensity
is-a function of the concentration of the compound. These two facts form the basis
for the development of a method-of-qualitative and quantitative analysis of the
compound: or compounds in the vapor. It has also been shown that the laser can stimu-
late vapors remote (several meters) from the laser source. This indicates the poten-
tial- for a very remote detection system (kilometers).
It is proposed that based on these observations a scanning device can be
developed for.monitoring air pollutants. Using this device the identification and
concentration of the air pollutants can be measured without prior collection or
sampling of the atmosphere. This would greatly contribute to the speed and accuracy
of the method and would be a distinct advantage over current analytical methods.
- Preliminary" studies show that- the method should work for detecting and moni-
toring- the concentration of inorganic compounds such as S02, NOj, and 03, also for
organic compounds such as paraffins, olefins, amines, nitro compounds, halides, etc.
It is not anticipated that the method would distinguish between such compounds as
hexane and heptane because their IR spectrum are so similar. However, the concen-
tration of 'hydrocarbons' should be measurable.
A major problem in simple IR emission methods is the sample temperature varia-
tion which causes large charges in the intensity of the IR emission signal. By using
a modulated laser source and tuning the detector to the frequency of modulation, the
steady dc; signal from thermal excitation would hot be detected and its interference
effect would be eliminated. This phenomenon of laser induced IR fluorescence is not
to be confused with LEDAR whiehls a li*ht scattering

Microwave rotational spectroscopy should provide a highly specific approach for the
measurement of small, polar air pollutaits. Recent advances in microwave instrumentation
have indicated that the previous problem of inadequate sensitivity may be overcome. The
state-of-the-art in simplified microwave spectrometers consists of a Gunn-diode source,
resonant cavity system which may be used for trace gas detection. This work will test
the utility of such a system for atmospheric formaldehyde by actual construction and
testing of a bench-scale model. The scope of work will include a) optimization of
instrument design parameters to achieve maximum sensitivity; b) testing and application
of membrane-type separators for sample enrichment into the detector system; c) construction
of a working spectrometer system; d) testing and demonstrating the design of (c) above,
as a monitor for trace concentration of formaldehyde in air; and e) delivery of completed
system to EPA.

TITLE OF PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT OF A FLUORIDE-SPECIFIC MICROELECTRQDE
USE THIS SPACa TO ABSTRACT YOUH -"HOt'OSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
Macroscopic aspects of fluoride accumulation by and visible damage to plants have
been quite well described. Specific sites of fluoride accumulation within
plant tissue are less well-known. Attempts to follow the dynamic progression of
fluoride through plant tissue have been unsuccessful because of a lack of
discriminative techniques. Autoradiography, for example, does not provide a
suitable experimental technique for monitoring the dynamic movement of fluoride
through living tissue. If it were possible to follow the dynamic movement
of fluoride through the tissue, it would provide fundamental information relating
the significance of a change in a fluoride-effected metabolic step with the
metabolism and physiology of the plant as a whole and the relation of these
metabolic changes to injury or reduced yield.
It is proposed to investigate electrochemical systems which might form the basis
of a fluoride-specific microelectrode which could be inserted within individual
plant cells in either intact or incised tissue. The state of the art for
ion-specific electrodes is now well-developed. Macroelectrodes have been ;
devised and some are commercially available for the quantitative determination
of many common cations and anions. A macro fluoride-specific electrode is
commercially available. Ion-specific microelectrodes are emerging from
research laboratories, but no one has produced a fluoride-specific microelectrode.
The electrode systems to be considered for the production of a fluoride-specific
microelectrode fall into four major classes: solid-state or precipitate,
liquid-liquid membrane, galvanic reaction, and microcapillary. The development of a
fluoride-specific microelectrode will provide a valuable tool for the dynamic study
LEAVE BLANK movement and accumulation at the cellular level in intact plants.

The main purpose of this study.is to develop (1) a reliable sturdy universal collectoi
for gases, vapors and particulates, (2) solid collection devices which will collect atmos-
pheric pollutants quantitatively under realistic field conditions and will be simple,
inexpensive, shipped without difficulties and have excellent shelf lines and (3) appropriat
interfacing to milk the pollutant from the device quantitatively as is or in a stoichio-
metrically modified form for analysis. These methods should be a beginning in the develop-
ment of low cost'reliable networks for regional, national and international air pollution
studies of atmospheric gases, vapors and particulates. Inaccessible regions could be
surveyed. Small laboratories could participate. Areas without laboratories or instru-
mentation could participate. All that would be needed in the field would be simple solid
collection devices and the universal collector. The minimum equipment in the lab would be
a colorimeter. A sophisticated central lab would have two interfacing devices, one for
milking gases out of the collection device into a gas analysis system and the other to
elute a solution of the analyte into a we't analysis system. The. gas analysis equipment
could include gas chromatograms, a mass spectrometer, chemiluminescent monitors, etc. The
wet chemrstry equipment could include colorimeters, fluorimeters, sophisticated automatic
analyzers, etc. The potential of both manual and automated systems will be stressed.
NOX is the guinea pig for this system of analysis.

The photooxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons is poorly understood. Although it is
commonly accepted that atomic oxygen (resulting from N02. photodissociation) will initiate
the oxidation of aromatics, the actual mechanism is not well understood. The products
resulting from the carbon fragments have not been adequately identified since the carbon
balance in these systems is usually poor. This study will make use of all of the
, conventional methods as well as the new Fourier Transform Spectroscopy system.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or less.) - In the Science Informotion Exchange summaries of work in progress ore exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who readiest such Information. Your summery is to be usod
: for these purposes.
Published data on the effect of water vapor on photooxidation reactions are often con-
fusing and contradictory. Some preliminary work suggests that organic acids are produced
when hydrocarbons are photooxidized in the presence of water vapor. The work proposed
is to photooxidize hydrocarbons (olefins, paraffins, and aromatics) in the presence of
oxides of nitrogen and varying amounts of water vapor. The rate of reactant disappearance
will be:noted as well as product formation. The new Fourier transform spectrometer
coupled to a long-path irradiation cell will be employed in these studies. In other
cases where a complete carbon and nitrogen balance are desired, chromatographic, chemi-
luminescent and wet chemical detectors will be employed with a large borosilicate
•flask serving as the reaction vessel. This work will begin in the second quarter of
FY 1973.

A test will be n.ade of the relationshi.p of no-i-methane hydrocarbor concenti-ation t
the oxidation of nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxido in simulated photochemical smog.
This will provide teat evidence regarding the feasibility of using ambient hydrocirbon
control as a means of controlled nitrogen dioxide concentrations. Reactant gases, in
concentration ranges which include current air quality standards, will be studied in ai:
with natural humidity and temperature and will be irradiated with natural sunlight in
7000 cubic feet clear Teflon chambers. Reactants (hydrocarbon and nitric oxide) and
products (nitrogen dioxide, ozone and oxidant) will be measured with techniques
designated in the Federal air quality standards (where such standards exist). The cver<
purpose of these experiments is to obtain better test information than now exists for
evaluating hydrocarbon control as a tactic of nitrogen dioxide control.

Certain elementary free radical processes occurring during photoinitiated
oxidation in polluted air will be studied using the r.cthods of photochemical
kinetics. The reactions of alkoxy radicals with oxygen and nitrogen dioxide will
be studied by photolysis of an appropriate alkyl nitrite in the presence of nitro-
gen dioxide and oxygen, and the competition followed by long path infrared spectre-
photometry. The^ alkoxy-oxyp.cn reaction has been suggested to be an important chain
propagating step in the nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide^ conversion and in the carbon
conoxide cleanup cycle. This research nay lead to assessment of the importance of
this and other fates of alkoxy radicals in exhaust-polluted atmospheres.

The immediate objective is to develop a free radical ("spin") trapping technique for
USD in detecting and identifying free radicals present in the gcs phase by a process which is
similar to I ho one dove loped for free radicals in solution (E. G. Janzen and B.J. Blackburn,
.J.A.C.S. , 90, 5909 (1963)1. This technique entails the use of a nitroso or nitrone spin trap
which after reaction wifh a free radical produces a stable nitroxide (a "spin adduct"). The spin
(jclduct is defected- by electron spin resonance (csr) and provides definitive proof of the existence
of fico radicals in solution (or in the gas phase as proposed). Certain features of the esr spectrum
( ihe nitrogen and hydrogen hyporfine splitting) are characteristic for each radical trapped
r.n;! thus can be used to identify the structure of the radical trapped. The development of the
c.-.i;:obility of monitoring Hie concentration of free radicals as a function of time is expected.
'ihc use of either molecular sieves or expandable clays (e.g. montrnorilUnite) as a solid phase
! ~'.t for incorporation of the spin trap is proposed. Free radicals produced in the gas phase will
••:•:' passed through the spin-trap-host and trapped by the spin trap. The esr spectrum of the
•.-in adduct will be obtained directly in the hosf or the spin cdduct will be washed or exchanged
•:.'t inro solution and investigated in solution. This technique should prove to be very useful
:•: phofochemists and find application in a study of photochemical smog formation. After

Our previous work on the studies of the photochemistry of S02 in 'the presence of
CO, CjF*, or thiophcne have indicated that the chemically important electronically
excited states are not the luminescent states. Two new non-emitting states, a singlet
and £ triplet, were indicated. The existence of the triplet has now been confirmed by
observations on the SOj-sensitized biacetyl emission.
It is proposed to extend the studies of the photochemstry of SOa by (1) Per-
forming SC;-sensitized biacetyl emission studies in the presence of other gases such
as, COs.CO , Oj, Mb, HjS, OCS, N20, H20, pyridine, pyrrole, thiophena, and hydro-
carbons, (1) Performing photochemical studies on systems with NHs, H^S, ^0, pyridine,
and pyrrole, and (3) Performing photochemical studies with hydrocarbons where aerosols
are produced, in order to study aerosol formation and growth. In the photochemical
studies, experiments will be done in the absence and presence of NT2, NO, and 02.
Products of the reactions, as well as -quantum yields, will be determined as a
function c: pressure. of reactants, intensity of the absorbed radiation, temperature,
and incidc.-.c wavelength. Analysis will be primarily by emission spectroscopy, gas
chroma cography, and infrared spectroscopy, though mass spectroscopy will be used when
appropriate. • For those reactions in which aerosols are produced, their particle size
distribution as a function of irradiation tir.e will be determined directly in a thermal
diffusion chamber, as well as indirectly by pressure drop and light scattering measure-

It is proposed to examine the cheaicaj, reactions of halocarbon pollutants
in the atmosphere. Particular emphasis yill be placed on the chlorinated and
fluorinated ethylenes. The approach. will be to separate the reactions into 5
categories and study the Isolated systems before examining interactions. The 5
types of reactions are with 1) Oa, 2) NOj and electronically excited N02 , 3) 0(3P)
4) HO and other free radicals, and 5) electronically excitftd
With 03, the 03 decay will be monitored by its ultraviolet absorption.
After the 63 is exhausted and reaction is complete, gas chroma tographic analysis
will be made on the products. In some cases product formation will be followed
by in si f,u infrared spectroscopy. When indicated low-temperature condensed
phase experiments will be done to trap intermediates in order to help elucidate
the mechanism.
The reactions of N02. with olefins can also be studied by optical absorption
both in the visible and infrared, as with 03. For both regions we have long
path length reaction vessels to enhance sensitivity. In addition possible
reactions of electronically excited NOa can. be studied using a 7500 watt mercury
arc source to excite the '
The reactions of 0(3P) and HO will be studied to elucidate the mechanism
of reaction for partially halogenated olefins, since the perhalogenated and
unhalogenated olefins react by different mechanisms. In addition rate constants
and the fate of dhe initial products in the presence of Oj will be examined.

TITLE OF PROJECT
Photochemical Oxidation of Kraft Air Pollutants
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEAHCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERGOES: THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT!
The major malodorous organic compounds of Kraft pulping operations are
methyl mercaptan. dimethyl sulfide. and dimethyl disulfide. In initiating studies
this year of the photochemical oxidation of these compounds we had two goals in
mind: (1) to gain information concerning the feasibility of photochemical destruc-
tion of.Kraft air pollutants by high energy irradiation as a pollution control
method, and (2) to gather information having a bearing on the fate of these
pollutants in the atmosphere. We have completed a product study of the photolysis
of dimethyl sulfide in air under high energy irradiation conditions and presented
the results of this study to the APCA meeting during the summer. We propose IKJW
to complete the study of dimethyl sulfide photooxidat ion by studying the effects
on the reaction products and rate of variables including reactant concentrations,
temperature, light energy, and light intensity. We also propose to conduct
similar studies on methyl mercaptan and dimethyl disulfide. The spectroscopic,
chromatographic, and wet chemical techniques developed in our dimethyl sulfide
photooxidation product study will be used to accomplish these goals.
A final objective is to maintain at the University of Maine, a university in
the heart of the Eastern pulp and paper industry and the center of training for
many technicians and leaders in the field, a center of research and authoritative
information related to the Kraft air pollution problem. This will be made more
meaningful by the presentation of seminars, publications, and classroom teaching
in this area.

USE THIS SPACE TO MAKE A BROAD STAIEMENI OF YOUR RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to continue the investigation of the photolytic
oxidation of substances normally found in urban atmospheres. Many of the
aldehydes, ketones, epoxides, acids and nitrogen containing derivatives owe
their existence in air to reactions of oxygen atoms, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide
with olefins. The principal source of the oxygen atoms is the photolytic
dissociation of NOj.
In recent work * ' I have proposed mechanisms and determined rate constants
for processes taking place in the presence of NO. and olefins alone. It is the
purpose of the present proposal to extend this study to systems containing 0,
as well as NO. and olefins. This will introduce several reactions of ozone
along with those of NO.. In addition, the concentrations of NO. and olefins
will be reduced to approximate conditions more closely resembling those
actually encountered in urban atmospheres. The analytical techniques will be
refined to accomodate this change.
Although many of the reactions proposed here have been studied extensively,
there are still several rate constants to be determined (see Tables of rate
constants at the end of the proposal) and many questions concerning the
mechanisms still exist.

The. proposed research wi/1 attempt to develop a pliotoionization mass
spoctromctci* which could be applied to a wide variety of air pollution problems.
The inscninietit should have a sensitivity in the ppb range with a high selec-
tivity for most pollutants. It is planned to use uhe instrument to measure the
vato constants for certain reactions involving reactive Lr.torirudiates, such as
free radicals, NOV 00(a^). The instrument should also be useful- for moni-
toring pollutants'in uhe atmosphere, although that is not part of the proposed
study.
Tho aim of this study would bo to provide critical rate constants which

TITLE OF PROJECT
THE ROLE OF CHLORINE IN PHOTOCHEMICAL AIR POLLUTION
USE THIS .'PACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND MUTMOI.-S. UNDERSCOKli THE KEY
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ^BSTRACT. .
The purpose of our proposed research is to examine potenci.il air pollution
problems arising from a release of chlorino into the ntmosphorc. The chlorine
pollution in air may exist in the form of molecular chlorine, hydrogen chloride
and volatile chlorocarbons. These species may be interconvcrtcd as transient
or final products in atmospheric reaction processes. The known efficiency of
molecular chlorine as a photochemical initiator underlines £ potential contribu-
tion to photochemical smog even at low chlorine contents.
Atmospheric chlorine pollution is expected mainly to arise from industrial
sources. In the United States, major chlorine industries are concentrated heavily
in the Niagara Falls. New York and Gulf Coast, Texas areas. Chlorine pollution
may be a significant problem in these localities.
This proposal is designed to explore photochemical chlorine reaction processes
which may contribute to smog-formations. The main objective is to obtain the
information necessary for establishing suitable stancards to insure satisfactory
air qualities in every urban center.

It is proposed to continue- using the method of matrix -.isolation to m.iko a
systemic study ana identification of the stable and unstable oxides of nitrogen
trapped in various enviroriT..-u:ts at liquid helium/hydrogon tonuicraturo. Tho results
of this study will not only prove valuable to the fields of sjififtroscopy and
kinetics- but also to the problem of photochemical air pollution. It is w.ill
known tiiat reactions involving oxides of nitrogen play an integral role in th^ pro-
duction of air pollutants, however, the elementary processes and Intoi.^pcUates
have proven difficult, to ascertain. Our studies to date have indicAto/. that this
method if ideal in identifying some of these proponed ir.ter:.wdj;:tor. v.'o hav^
further observed that ultraviolet photolysis of scJoctod stab .In iiT»loculi»s producos
atomic specLes which are ctobile in matrices, allowing characterization ft" elemen-
tary atoriic mechanisms which occur in the atmosphere.
Therefore, investigation of these two facets of photochemical air pollution,
i.e. identification of stable and unstable pollutants and the characterization of
elementary processes resulting from photochemical absorption, is proposed.

During, the past decade, my laboratory has pursued molecular bepn. studies
.of the dynamics of eleicontary chcnical renctirns, In these experiments, the
time resolution in _ effect is reduced to the duration of a single collision,
of tho order of 10" l3 sec. Truly elcrcentary chcmicAl events thus cnn be
isolated nnd the forces which govern then characterized in terra of the initial
conditions most favorable for reaction nnd the distributions in. angle and
snerjjy of the nroducts. The relation of those single-collision reactive scat-
tering studies to conventional choric.il kinetics is thus quite analogous to-'
that between molecular structure studios and thermochemistry.. Our general aim
in this work is to elucidate tho r.olcculnr dynamics of making and breaking cheni-
cyl bonds. Here we propose the first bean studies of oxygen atom reactions, ?ru!
also the first studies of addition reactions. Wo believe these processes offer a
unique 'opportunity to elucidate the dynamics of intramolecular energy transfer and
rcarrojngcir.ents involving migration of hydrogen atoms.

This program is to be devoted to an investigation of the
possible sources and immediate fate of active species
in the atmosphere particulary A~02. Recently, we have
demonstrated that gas-phase photosensitization by aromatic
species is an efficient means for the generation of the 'A
state and a reasonable process in polluted air. We intend
to examine other possible sources of 'A which might be
found in the atmosphere. We also plan to study reactions
which may involve 'A-O2 as a reactant. Of particular
interest will be those processes which may be involved
in the conversion of NO to N02.

We intend to examine the reactions which are most likely to influence
the conversion of NO to NO. in urban atmospheres. Probably the conversion
occurs by the reaction between NO and alkyIperoxyl radicals, R02»
R02 + NO * RO + N02.
Therefore we will study the reactions of pertinence in the production and removal
of RO. . We intend to determine the efficiency of RO. production from the
photo-oxidation of aldehydes and ketones. Furthermore the reaction of KO,
with NO will be examined to see if NO. is a product and, if so, to determine the
rate constant for the reaction. Finally the rate constant will be measured for
the predominant step in RO. removal, namely

Evidence for the' multiplicity of mechanisms .in photosensitized oxidations i:;
presented. A progi-am to ide.itify each of the possible mechanisms (two singlet
states of oxygen, hydrogen abstraction, 02', and certain other possibilities) is
proposed. The relevance of this work to the phofxlynaraic effect and the mechanism
of certain types of carcinogenesis will be considered. The role of flavins as •
t>hocoscusitizers will be studied. Certain possible reaction intermediates can be
««*dc by non-photoclicmical routes, and the reactions of these compounds will be com-
pared with those of uhc photochemical intermediates, using carefully chosen experi-
mental conditions. The role of metal ions and carotcnoids as inhibitors will be
atudieU. . . . •

The object of this work is to develop a kinetic mechanism describing photochemical smog
formation that can be incorporated into meteorplo'gical models to make air quality
assessments. The scope of work of this contract'is divided into two phases. At the
outset, the contractor is preparing a report outlining (1) the.current state of the art
of photochemical models and the problems encountered in the validation of these models
and (2) the type of'chamber data, field data and laboratory studies -that need to be
undertaken to elucidate atmospheric chemistry. .The second phase of the work on which
most of the emphasis is being placed is the analysis of smog chamber data. The con-
tractor will (1) formulate a system of rate equations to describe the photochemical
reaction occurring in the chamber, (2) solve the differential equations to obtain time-
concentration profiles for the various species and (3) modify the mechanism until the
best fit to the experimental data is obtained; The object is to describe the photo-
chemistry of the smog .chamber with the simplest possible mechanism and employ it in the
modeling of the atmosphere.

government ond private agencies supporting research, and are forwc'ded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used
*-.'••" far these purposes.
Purpose: The aim of the subject contract is to use the gas-cell correlation
spectroscopy technique to develop a field-prototype sensor for in-situ (across-the-stack)
monitoring of stationary source emissions. The pollutant species to be detected are
HF, HC1, S02, S03, NO, and CO. It is anticipated that .this field-prototype instrument will
lead7directly to the development of commercial instruments that will continuously monitor
^ the average effluent concentrations of any desired species.
Scope of Work: The contractor, as an independent institution and not as an agent
of the government, will design and fabricate a field.-prototype gas-cell correlation
: ' spectrometer system for in-situ monitoring of HF, HC1, S02, S03, NO, and CO concentrations
*'• in stationary emission sources. Individual components of the system, such as the source
r.; and receiver units, shall weigh no more than 35 pounds. Maximum light beam diameter
at the stack walls shall be two inches. Design and selection of individual components,
-..,; such as radiation source, method of producing a gas-cell modulation of the light beam,
optimum wavelengths and associated detector (ambient.temperature operation) and
electronics systems are to be selected by the contractor. The processed detector signal
shall be proportional to species concentration and displayed on a strip chart recorder.
Overall system response time for zero to full scale deflection shall be 10 seconds or
faster. The system shall include provision for field calibration of the instrument with
an accuracy of ±5 percent using cells containing known pollutant concentration. There
will be provision for.varying the focus of the instrument since pathlengths can range
from 5 to 30 feet. • l

In early 1971, Monsanto Research Corporation developed and constructed a prototype
NOX monitor for ambient air utilizing the chemiLuminescent reaction of oxygen atoms
and the oxides of nitrogen. Evaluation of this unit has now been completed by the ambient
air quality measurements program. The design and construction of this unit is such that
a material savings in time and costs may be made by converting this unit for stationary
source S02 and NOX measurements rather than designing and constructing a new prototype
froih the start. Conversion of the existing unit will serve to demonstrate the
technology for stationary source measurements.
this contract will cover the services required to convert the existing Monsanto Model
3409 air quality NOX monitor to stationary source usage.Thfhe contractor shall modify
the existing Monsanto Model 3409 ambient air NOX monitor to simultaneously measure
stationary source S02 and NOX emissions in the following ranges:
S02 - 0-200 ppm, 0-500, 0-1000, 0-3000 ppm
' NOX - 0-200 ppm, 0-500, 0-1000, 0-3000 ppm
The unit shall have equivalent responses to NO and N02 or mixtures thereof without
the use of a conversion device.

rendering plants indicates existing instrumentation for sulphur compounds but no available
.equipment for measurement of animal rendering plant emissions. Available literature dis-
closes that the principal odorant species from rendering plants are aldehydes and organic
acids with the amines comprising a very low percentage of total rendering plant omissions.
The purpose of this contract is to examine availabitenanual and laboratory methods for
the sampling and analysis of aldehydes, organic acids, and amines from rendering plants
with the aim of modifying existing process type instrumentation to produce prototype con-
tinuous automated instrumentation for these emissions from sources such as animal
rendering plants. . .

The coupling of continuous gaseous source monitors to stacks or ducts usually re-
quires some degree of sample conditioning. Conventional.techniques involve extracting a
stack gas sample via probe and transporting the sample to' analyzers through heated
inert tubing to prevent moisture condensation and loss .of sample. The tubing must be
cither steam-traced or electrically heated. Particulate matter is usually filtered at the
probe inlet and. moisture present in the sample line (often 10-12% H20) is removed at the
monitor by condensation. ..Such methods are costly and still suffer from varying degrees
of sample losses. A-novel device has been designed and constructed to eliminate the
problem of moisture condensation and particulate entrainment by diluting the gas sample
immediately within the stack environment. A rotating perforated-disc placed in the stack
gas atmosphere is .used to extract a small volume of gas which is mixed with a metered
stream of diluent. The mixture can then be analyzed directly by ambient air or source-
level monitors without thenneed of heated sample lines, particulate filters, or
refrigerated driers. A prototype of the disc-diluter has been designed to encompass
a range of dilution ratios of from 10:1 through 1500:1; The device can be readily
inserted through any standard 3" sample port and- requires minimal maintenance. The choice
in using an ambient or source level monitor and the appropriate diluting ratio is
dependent on the initial pollutant concentration as'well as the moisture and particulate
levels. Laboratory and field studies have been carried out using both ambient and source
level SQ? monitors. \

lor these purposes.
The purpose of the subject contract is to determine the feasibility of using resonance
scattering from a tunable laser to remotely detect pollutants emitted by stationary sources.
A particular goal of the study will be to determine which form of resonance scattering, such
as fluorescence or resonance Raman, is most sensitive and specific for pollutant monitoring.
The contractor, as an independent institution and not as an agent of the government, will
conduct an analytical and experimental evaluation of the various types of resonance scattering
which ..could be used to measure the concentration, of pollutants emitted by stationary sources
such as a power plant smoke stack. The experimental evaluation will be confined to laboratory
measurements. The contractor will use existing tunable laser source and detector systems.
The principal pollutant gases of interest are NO and S02/ Their concentrations in coal fired
power plant effluents are typically 400 ± 150 and 1000 ± 500 ppm, respectively. It is assumed
that the scattering area is close to. the smoke stack exit, and that ranging is not necessary.
The degree to which an absolute concentration measurement can be made will be evaluated.
Potential interferences from quenching, scattered sunlight, and laser radiation scattered/by
other effluent constituents, such as N2, CO, H2.0, C02,' particles, etc. shall be examined both
analytically and experimentally. As a result of the above studies, the contractor will
recommend a program fior field evaluation of the most suitable form of resonance scattering
for stationary source pollutant monitoring.

The exhaust of vehicles which burn heavy petroleum fractions as fuels may contain .
potentially hazardous compounds such as acridihe and thiophene*derivatives. An
experimental program to evaluate n- and s- specific detectors for gas chromatography
for the determination of such compounds in vehicle exhaust has been instituted. It
is anticipated that such heavy organics will be sought in the exhaust of diesel and

With the institution of regulations limiting and eventually virtually eliminating the
use of lead cdmpounds in gasoline, 'emission of particulate matter from 'vehicles operated
on lead-f ree fuel will be of prime concern. It appears, that the "primary particulate
emissions from such a vehicle will be in the form of condensing heavy organic matter.
A dilution tunnel sampler which will allow the organic matter sufficient residence time
for condensation has been constructed arid tested. A number of problems associated with
the collection of particulate organics on glas^s fi-ber filters are presently under investi-
gation. • It appears- that careful empirical standardization of filter-media .and test . • "

The purpose of the program is to determine, the physical and chemical characteristics
of exhaust particulate matter from internal-combustion engines as a function of
sampling procedure, engine operating conditions including emission control systems,
fuel .composition, and residence time in the atmosphere. Emphasis is being placed
on the study of particulate matter during its lifetime in the atmosphere.
The scope of the project work covers the generation of automobile particulates from
leaded and nonleaded fuels in two identical automobiles with specially chosen.,
measured engines which have been selected for similarity. The diluted auto exhaust,
after passing through the dilution tunnel, passes into a residence chamber large
enough to minimize wall losses. The fate of auto exhaust particles will be studied
from their initial formation to their ultimate removal from the atmosphere.

Major research objectives will be as follows: . •
1. To apply the Minnesota Aerosol Analyzing System (MAAS) developed.during the
previous six years of this grant to the study of aerosols smaller than one micron.
Two specific studies will be: (a) The coagulation of mixtures of several sizes
of monodisperse aerosols under conditions that will attempt to simulate what is
happening in the atmosphere, and (b) The preliminary measurement of the size
distributions and concentration of combustion aerosols.
As part of these studies, it is also planned to carry out theoretical studies of the
coagulation and mixing of aerosols under conditions that simulate what may be
occurring in the urban atmosphere on a microscope.
2. To design and'construct a compact field portable version of the electrical mo-
bility analyzer. As soon as it is operational it will be used in exploratory field .
studies especially around sources of submicron aerosols.
3. To continue studies of (a) Aerosol generation, (b) Aerosol measurement, and
(c) Electric Aerosol charging of aerosols smaller than 0. 01 micron diameter.
• These studies are a necessary foundation for the studies mentioned in I.

We are currently engaged in research work designed to develop an analytical
procedure for the direct and continuous determination of metals in air (AP 00866).
Based on the data we have obtained we wish to initiate three subsidary pro-
grams, each closely related and pertinent to our original program, and to air
pollution control in general. They include:
1. Develop a calibration procedure for our present AA instrument capable of being
used at the concentration levels of pollutants present in the air, i.e. at least
down to lo"10 g. The technique we intend to develop is based on the use of
activation analysis.
2. Develop a method for the direct determination of metals in particulates. This
would be achieved by measuring the total concentration of a particular pollu-
tant, such as Pb, Hg, Cd, etc., in the air using our AA equipment. Then by
adding suitable filters * the particulates can be removed from the air. The
subsequent metal analysis provides the concentration of the remaining pollutant.
The difference in the concentration of the par ticu late removed by filtering.
3. Development of a field sampling device. Our present equipment is not easily
portable. It is proposed to take carbon rods (1) clean them on the sampling
site, (2) expose* them to the air for a specific period during which time
molecular pollutants are absorbed, and (j) return the exposed rods to the base
lab and analyze using a technique similar to the AA technique being developed.
* "Filters" may include various types of precipitators. Simple filter devices are
subject to interference from electrostatic build up and may not be reliable in
removing particles of particular dimensions.

An improved method for the rapid and accurate analysis of air filter samples for beryllium
is badly needed for monitoring and checking sources against the new emission standards recent!
set for beryllium. One of the emission standards is based on a 30-minute emission period whic
rceans a short sampling period producing small samples requiring a highly sensitive method for
analysis,
One of the techniques being investigated is a rapid dissolution scheme followed by selective
solvent extraction for beryllium then analysis of the resulting liquid sample by atomic
absorption. . - • '
Alternatively a more direct'method of measuring beryllium on the filter without any separatior.
steps from the matrix and without regard for the chemical form of .the .beryllium would be
preferred. There are two possible means of accomplishing this task. One is simply to ignite
the f.ilteY sample at a temperature high enough to liberate elemental beryllium from the samols
and -measure it by its atomic absorption. This could be tried with the new graphite heating
tube's recently introduced as accessories for- atomic absorption work with reported very good
sensitivities for many elements. The other non-flame method for analysis of beryllium is thai
of photo-activation. The basis of this procedure is the nuclear reaction in which gamma-rays
above a certain energy can cause emission of a weakly bound neutron from the Be9 nucleus. T!r
reaction is unique in nature in that it can occur at quite low gamma -ray energies wit!: hardly
no interferences. A feasibility study is being conducted to determine if use can be made of
this analytical approach used by industry to apply to low concentration air. filter samples.

The purpose of this contract is to develop inexpensive, rapid and accurate
analytical procedures for the determination of the total nitrate and sulfate
ion content of collected atmospheric particulate samples. Sulfate and nitrate
in atmospheric particulate matter are important constituents since these species
represent about 12 and 3% by weight of the total suspended matter in ambient
air. The nitrate ion is a known precarcinogen and environmental toxicant. As
end products of oxidations involving atmospheric NOX and S02 they are important
indicators of environmental pollution.

INOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
During previous work on this project a liquid-phase fluorescence detector
was constructed for the selective measurement of carcinogenic and non-car-
cinogenic polynuclear arenes by gas chromatography. It proved practical to
resolve mixtures of compounds which were not separable on the chromatographic
column. .Following this, a gas phase fluorescence detector was developed and
applied to the analysis of these compounds. It is superior in all respects
to the liquid system except for sensitivity. Future work on this project will
be directed toward Improving sensitivity of the gas phase system by use of an
ellipsoidal condensing mirror, and removing the carrier gas with a molecular
separator before the compounds enter the detector. The emission and excitation
monochromators of the spectrophotofluorometer will then be equipped with servo-
mechanism drives so that wavelengths will be adjusted automatically to optimum
values before the elution of each chromatographic peak. The complete apparatus
will then be evaluated for the analysis of polynuclear arenes in samples of air
collected in heavily industrallzed areas.

PROFILE ANALYSIS-OF POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS' JET URBAN AIR _
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY V.'i DS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT. / .
Urban air contains traces of carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocai
bons (PAH) . However, since non-active PAH modify the activity'1 of carcir -
• genie PAH, quantitative data for some selected PAH are only of limited
value for the bioassay of urban pollutants. It is the purpose of this
research project to develop a method for the profile analysis of PAH
in polluted air.
The organic matter of pollutants will be distributed between solvents z 3
the resulting PAH concentrate will be chromatographed. 'The colunui frac
tions will be analyzed under standard conditions by gas chromatography
(electron capture and flame ipnization detectors) and by 'hlgh-speed—frc L<
chromatography. The maxima in the chromatograms will be identified by
ultraviolet absorption and mass spectra. This step requires the estab-
lishment of a reference bank (impurities<0. 1%) .
For the quantitative analysis we will employ as internal standards
14c-labeled benz (a) anthracene (BaA) , benzo (ajpyrene (BaP), and dibenzo f , •
• -pyrene (DBP) . The PAH profile will be based on the analysis of the cor
secutive fractions with BaA, pre-BaP, BaP, post-BaP and DBP.
After establishing a method for the profile analysis of PAH, we plan, i «
future study, to assay pollutants for tumor initiating activity on mous
skin and to correlate these findings with data from the profile analysis.
The method should also be of value for the carcinogenic bioassay of ot: c
inhalants as well as different environmental agents. _ ' _

WOT TO CXCEED 10) IN VOufl ABSTRACT.
The objective of this research is to develop a "basic aerosol standard" for
instrument calibration and other experimental purposes. Techniques suitable for the
production of the standard within the size range from 0.1 to 100 ^un will be investi-
gated and studied. It is proposed that the following criteria be used for defining
the tr.onodisper?e aerosols used as basic standards:
(a) Standard deviation of tho aerosol shall be on the order of 1% of the mean particle
size, i.e. the goemetrical standard deviation of the aerosol shall be on the
order of 1.01.
(b) Mean particle size and concentration shall be known to accuracies of better
than lib'.
The overall objectives of this research include developing the basic aerosol
standard and applying the standard thus developed to the study of the characteristics
of various asrosol measuring and sampling instruments including the response charact-
eristics of sinsrle particle optical counters as a function of particle size and
refractive index.
The zonodisperse aerosols -used as basic standards will be generated by dissolving
a non-volatile material in a volatile solvent and atomizing the solution with the
vibratlr^-orifice droplet generator to produce droplets of a uniferr. size. The
vibratir-g-orifice droplet generator will make use of snail orifices ranging in size
from 2 --. c 100 (Um and piezoelectric transducers of various thicknesses to produce the
needed vibration for unifom droplet production. The particle size distribution ana
the cor.csntration of the aerosols will be measured by electron zicrcscopy, by the
Milliter, ceil method, the two-pressure electrical mobility method, the fluorometric

Ragweed pollen and its principal allergenic constituent, Antigen E, are among the major
causes of airborne hayfever and bronchial asthma to which some 30 million Americans are
susceptible. Analytical methods for its assay are not available nor are any methods
available for the analysis of other atmospheric biological material.
The present task Involves chemical and physico-chemical studies of Antigen E, 2 minor
ragweed pollen antigens, antigens isolated from various other pollen species, fungi, smuts,
house dust and particles collected1 on high volume filters with special emphasis on proteinc
and glycoproteins.
Various extraction methods are used comparing the efficiency of extraction by prolonged
stirring, ultrasonic disintegration and high frequency shear and shock action. Efficiency
Is checked by measuring absorbance of .extracted material at 260 and 348 nm wavelength in a
spectrophotometer.
•
A major portion of the task involves separation and isolation of fractions and sub-fractio
from the antigens in a pure form using precipitation methods, liquid-liquid chromatography,
analytical and preparative acrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing.
Analysis of the isolated material will. include molecular weight determination, by
ultracentrifugation, elemental analysis, hydrolysis, dansylation, amino acid and carbohydrate
studies using chroma toqraphic methods, spectrophotometry, fluorimetry and other means

It is well known that the major source of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons is from the
incomplete combustionjo£ organic .suitstancqs such as coal, petroleum and refuse. The rapid .
growth of population"and the subsequent greater use of combustion processes has greatly in-
creased the,atmospheric load of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon. The assay of individual
.polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons is of considerable importance because many of these com-
pounds ar& believed to be carcinogenic to man. A rapid and reliable method for the assay

We aim to dar-crmine light-scattering diagrams from single aerosol
particles in milliseconds, while a dilute aerosol stream traverses an
intense laser bsaiti. The theory of the new sing 1 e-partic.le photometer has
been v.-orked out, and we arc testing a prototype in which the scattering
diagram is swept oul. by a rotating mechanical aperture. Another type of
instrume.-it is nearly complete, in which an electric scan will sweep out
the diagram on an imags Orthicon TV camera tube. In both cases, results
may be displayed as oscillographic photographs, and the instruments also
may be intftrfaced with a computer to digitize and record the diagrams.
. Comparison of experimental diagrams with those calculated from Mie's
theory of J^il'Ilt. scar.to_rin_g_ will allow direct determination of the size of
isotropic spherical particles of kno\vn refractive index. This is immedi-
ately applicable to laboratory use in studying the aging of aerosol clouds,
Theoretical and experimental tests also will be made to determine the
possibility of using these instruments to find both the particle size
and the refractive index over a range useful for air-pollution studies.
This nay extend the usefulness of the instruments to field work, where
computer interfacing will be particularly advantageous.
Study of Mia'3 scattering theory has yielded new expressions for the
intensity functions in terms of trigonometric.series which are better
suited for analytical treatment than the classical Mie series.

At present suspensions of nicroscopic and subxicroscopic particles are sorted
and counted by sises using automated light-scattering techniques. The proposed
research will extend tho use of light-scattering measurenents to sorting by particle
shaue,
At law particle densities, where present instruments count or sort particles by
size» it is proposed to use electronic correlation of the outputs of photonultipliers
viewing li^ht scattered in different directions to provide statistical information
on particle shapes. Single-photon counting techniques extend the sensitivity to
subnicroscopic particles, until they are so sir.a.11 that the diffraction patterns
ara nearly isotropic.
At higher densities individual particles cannot be resolved. Statistical
infornation on particle shapes aay still be octair.ed by using coherent illunir.ation
fron a las or source. A theoretical ar.slysis will predict what correlations in the
scattsrsd lirht give indorsation on particle shires fron interference of light
scattered froa different particles. Zlxpericents will test these predictions.

TITLE OF PROJECT
Characterizing Asbestos-Bearing Aerosols
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT. .
In the first two years of the three-year grant.to characterize asbestos-bearing
aerosols, we have developed a method for the collection; and measurement of asbesti-
form minerals in air. The means to differentiate asbestos from the many other fibers
in air has been accomplished. The method will identify the specific type of mineral
fiber composing the various forms of asbestos. Morphology and electron diffraction
are used. The method will measure the amount of asbestos by means of electron
microscopy according to count and size, and enable a mass calculation from density
values. The method yields a true picture of the occurrence of the fibers relative
to their size distribution as found in the air with no alteration of their actual
airborne size by sample handling. A filter medium of excellent retention for the
fine asbestos fibers has been found. Previously it was believed that chrysotile
asbestos would be almost the sole type of mineral fiber found, samples of urban
air have shown the presence of amosite asbestos, an amphibole type.
The effort of the first two years has produced a method and data on asbestos concen-
tration in a limited number of urban and suburban sites. The proposed work for the
third year, now in-progress, is to sample other sites, such as downwind from industrial
sources. The sampling program bus prospects of great production, but the laboratory
work is necessarily slow because of the complex and lengthy processes involved in
quantitative electron microscopy. We propose to extend the asbestos work for three
more years to generate laboratory data and reports from the samples of outdoor air
to be taken in the third year of the current funding period. A further extension of
sampling is proposed for the continuation period: There may exist an unsuspected and'
anonymous contamination of. the air supply of buildings where asbestos-lined plenum chambers
have been installed. We propose to survey public buildings for possible contamination.

The big problem in the analysis of atmospheric mercury and its compounds are their
collection.
The purpose of this contract is to develop a prototype collection device (s) and
processing techniques for quantitative collection of total atmospheric mercury in the
three major forms: (1) inorganic and o.rganometallic particulates, (2) inorganic and
organometallic vapors, and (3) elemental mercury. To save time and money, the collection
devices are to be used as attachments within conventional Hi-Vol samplers. Criteria for
these collection devices include such features as quantitative mercury retention, ease of
handling, packaging, storage and shipping, ease of analysis in central or field
laboratories, and a high order of sensitivity and selectivity.

The Administrator of EPA, acting under the authority of "Clean -Air Amendments of 1970"
declared mercury .to be a hazardous air pollutant on March 31, 1971. Proposed regulations
establishing' emission Standards for mercury were scheduled for publication by September 1971.
.Monitoring instrumentation will -be needed in or.det to effectively enforce these standards.
k&rcury as a pollutant may oqcur as vapor and particulatej therefore, monitoring
instrumentation must employ techniques capable of detecting both. Although emissions
Standards may be applied to other sources of mercury, the presently planned standards are
Box tkres industries: primary processing of mercury; second recovetjr., of , mercury; and
the ciilor-alkali industry.
The expected range of concentration is from a low level of 1-100 hanograms per cubic
m©tor up to a high of 011-0.6 grams per cubic meter. Suitable monitors must be capable
of eliminating interferences from other species such as S02 and- organic compounds which
aay be present in the mercury emission sources. • .
The purpose of this program is -to identify and test continuous monitoring instrument at i~.
h represents the current state-of-the-art in the measurement of total mercury emissions

The EPA method for sampling mercury emissions from sources designated in the first
group of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) involves
collection of the mercury in impingers of the sampling track. The impinger solution
contains iodine monochloride; analysis is made by releasing the collected mercury by
chemical reduction and sweeping it into a flameless atomic absorption cell. Potential
interferences include reaction of gases (i.e. S02) with the impinger solution and release
of gases into the absorption cell which absorb at the Hg line (S02, aromatic hydrocarbons,
etc.). The objective of this task is to devise and test methods which will eliminate
these interferences which are expected to be present in mercury emission sources scheduled
for consideration as future NESHAPS. Various solution or solid absorbents should be
examined for their separation efficiencies of the interferences from the mercury. Al-
ternative sampling procedures will be considered.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 wards or less.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress ore exchanged with
flovummcril ond private agencies supporting research, ond ore forwo'ded to investigator who request such information. Your summary is to be used
tor the so purposes.
Sampling train components, order of arrangement, and procedures for measurement of
emission of metals (Pb, Cd, V, Mn, Cr, Se, As, etc.) which may be designated by the
Administrator of EPA for National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS)
must be determined. The commonly used procedure consists of a probe, followed by a
filter., which is followed in turn by impingers. In some instances field tests have
given indications of penetration of the metallic pollutant past the filter. The objective
of this task is to determine the mode of penetration and devise corrective procedures.
Low removal efficiencies of the particle entering the impingers might be expected. If
the particles have penetrated the control system and' the sampling filter, they probably
are submicron size, a range for which impingers are not efficient. Investigation of
removal efficiencies of standard impinger designs, optimum collection solutions for
specific hazardous pollutants will be made and improved filter and impinger designs will
bo considered. •
Initiated October 1972; expected completion June, 1976

The practical effects of an isokinetic bias on to the magnitude of error of the
particulate measurement have not been determined under such real source conditions.
Present techniques for obtaining isokinetic sampling under field conditions employs a
series of manual operations for data acquisition and equipment manipulations which permit
the.operator only to approximate isokinetic conditions in a step-wise manner. In order
to properly evaluate whether or not isokinetic sampling is truly a requirement under
actual field conditions, it is necessary to first have sampling hardware capable of
automatically and continuously controlling the sampling.conditions at isokinetic by
appropriate sensors and feedback control instrumentation.
It is the purpose of this contract work to fabricate and demonstrate an engineering
prototype sampling system capable of automatically and continuously controlling the
sampling rate to isokinetic velocity. This prototype system may then (subsequently) be
used to investigate the technical necessity for isokinetic sampling under both the idealized
laboratory conditions and under actual field conditions. If indeed isokinetic sampling is
demonstrated as a requirement under field conditions, the engineering prototype sampling
system will serve as the prototype for the production model of a compact, portable purtic-
ulate sampling system having automatic isokinetic sampling rate control.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or less.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress are exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and ore forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to lio used
tor these purposes.
Information on the size distribution of particles in source emissions is desired to
aid in the quantitation of the fine particulate pollution problem and in the development
of better particulate control technology. Current methods for this measurement require
.that a sample be withdrawn from the effluent before analysis can be performed. This
act bf sampling is thought to cause changes in the size distribution through several
mechanisms including deposition in sampling conduits, agglomeration, and fractionation
such that the measured distribution is different from that in the undisturbed effluent.
The purpose of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate the feasibility
of a state-of-the-art instrument capable of continuously monitoring particle sizes and
size distributions of particles in source emissions. The instrument will be capable of
"on-line" data acquisition and analysis of the particle efflux rate with periodic
correlation and monitoring of the'particle sizes and size distributions. The end product.
of this study is the technology developed; since this effort is to be performed as a
part of a% larger Air Force program, hardware may or may not be delivered, but such cannot
be determined at this time.

The objective of this project is to study lidar methods and instrumentation for remote
measurement of the opacity and mass content of particulate emissions from selected.sources.
Pulsed lidar instrumentation will be used for remote measurement of the light trans-
mittance (opacity) and backscatter of selected sources. In-stack measurements of the
light transmittance, mass concentration and size distribution of the particulates in the
sources will be made concurrent with the remote measurement, and when feasible, selected
alternate techniques will also be used to measure the light transmittance of the sources.
The data will be analyzed to determine the accuracy of the remote opacity measurement
technique, its relation to the in-stack opacity measurement and the capability of lidar
for remote mass measurement of selected sources.
Testing will begin January 1, 1973 and should be concluded by December 31, 1973.

A beta gauge for continuous mass monitoring has been developed under contract; there
is a European instrument which is commercially available. There is a present need for an
available continuous mass monitor. The beta gauge technique appears to fulfill this need,
but an extensive field testing program is necessary to establish capabilities and
limitations. Arrangements have been made with a local power company to run tests on a
controlled stack. Parallel mass measurements will be made using the EPA sampling train.
Testing will begin January 1, 1973 and should be completed on the power plant stack by
June 30, 1973. It is anticipated that the testing of other types of sources will be
made in the future.

Health effects of inhaled particulates are related to the chemical composition of the
participate. Current efforts are underway to analyze by advanced electro-optical technique-
aerosols collected from various industrial sources. The collection procedures require probe
sampling and possibly sample dilution and/or preconditioning which pose questions about
the integrity of the aerosol. The analytical methods include scanning electron microscopy
with energy dispersive analysis, and electron probe technique which give elemental composition.
In-situ analysis avoids the need to withdraw a sample from the source. Raman or fluorescen
scattering spectroscopy identifies the molecular- composition rather than only the elemental
constituents. Raman scatter analysis is known to be feasible using laser radiation "on bulk
samples of particulates. Some research is underway by the Air Force oh the development of
micro-Raman techniques applied to individual particles in a sample collection.
The objective of this study, is to determine the feasibility of identifying the molecular
composition of particulates in the moving gas stream of a pollutant source without extract!—,
a sample. This may be done by either Raman or fluorescence scattering, whichever offers th
hotter chance of success from theoretical considerations or from related research studies.
/The study will be conducted under controlled laboratory conditions.
Tho contractor shall study the feasibility of in-situ molecular analysis of
particulate in a gas stream by Raman or fluorescence scattering techniques.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or less.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress are exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and ore forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is 10 be usod
for these purposes.
The development of improved control technology, control practices, and emission
information requires instrumentation and methods to measure and monitor pollutants in a
dynamic mode. In the case of particulate emissions, continuous monitoring is dependent
not only upon the development of suitable sensing systems, but also upon a sampling
system which is capable of delivering the aerosol from the source to the sensor without
modifying the aerosol property to be measured. Experience with manual sampling of part ion-
late has demonstrated the problem of particles depositing on the probe walls with retention
being a very appreciable amount of the total sample. Theory predicts that a combination
of deposition and reentrainment mechanisms are operative in varying degrees which are
determined by the aerosol properties and flow conditions. The overall effects, at least
theoretically, can prevent quantitative transport of the aerosol and modify the size
distribution.
It is the purpose of this contract work to develop and demonstrate through controlled
laboratory testing, a sampling interface system which will permit the transport of
aerosols without modification for total mass rate measurement and also for size distri-
bution measurement from the point of sampling to a sensor.

Pluac Opacity and Air Pollutant Particle Properties

WOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
The objective of the proposed research project is to establish a relationship
between plume opacity .and the properties of particulate air pollutant emissions.
Measurements of the plume opacity and the particle properties (size distribution
and weight concentration) at air pollutant sources will be compared with a theo-
retical analysis of this relationship. The plume opacity is of primary signifi-
ceacfc because it is the quantity specified in air pollution control regulations
QQ she visual standard for smoke plumes. The results of the proposed research
will assist in designing particulate air pollutant control equipment which can
eseoit opacity standards (Ringelmann numbers) and in writing air pollution control
regulations which are consistent. The difficulties in designing control equip-
to satisfy opacity regulations are well documented.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or less.) - In the Science Informollon Exchange summaries of work in progress are exchonjed with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is M be used
tor these purposes.
A lidar technique has been developed for remote measurement of the transmittance of
smoke-stack plumes. A standard pulsed lidar is used for the measurement where atmospheric
backscatter of the outgoing pulse is observed as a function distance. The transmittance
of a plume is determined by firing the laser pulse through the plume and measuring the
discontinuity between the atmospheric backscatter of the pulse just in front of and
behind the plume, Extensive testing of the system has shown that the accuracy of the
measurement is affected by the intense pulse backscattered by the plume and that dar.a
reduction is complicated by the inverse square range dependence of the signal return.
Off-gating the photomultiplier detector of the lidar receiver when the backscatter 1'rom
the plume is received has improved but not eliminated the error. This project is.
designed to eliminate the lidar error in measuring plume transmittance due to plume back-
scatter of the laser radiation and to linearize the backscattered signal display with
respect to range.
The study is designed (1) to eliminate the dominant source of error in the remote
measurement of the transmittance of smoke-stack-plumes using lidar, and (2) to improve
the data presentation of the lidar transmittance measurement.

The objective of the proposed research is to determine the structure and
reactivity of adsorbed oxides of sulfur and other small sulfur-containing molecules.
Using electron paramagnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy it should be
possible to identify the important adsorbed sulfur-containing species and to follow
their various unimolecular or bimolecular transformations. Thermal as well as
photochemical reactions will be studied for molecules'adsorbed on different types of
surfaces including zeolites, MgO> ZnO and V^Os. Particular attention will be given
to understanding the role of the SOjJ radical ion in the catalytic oxidation of SO2 to SO3.
Adsorbed S", CS~, and COS~ molecule ions along with their neutral analogs will also
be investigated. Hyperfine splitting from molecules enriched in S should give de-
tailed information about the electronic and geometric structure of the molecules. In
addition, 1BO will be used to follow isotope exchange reactions between the adsorbed
molecules or between adsorbed molecules and adsorbent ions. The gas phase products
will be analyzed with the aid of a mass spectrometer.
The results should find application in development of efficient adsorbents or
catalysts i'or removing SO£ from effluent gases. The proposed work should also
elucidate the basic chemistry of heterogeneious reactions that occur on metal oxide
or aluminum silicate aerosols. Thes* reactions may take place in the atmosphere
or in the respiratory tract.

Dynamical Theories of Knudsen Aerosols
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
Rigorous theoretical analysis is proposed to develop some
of the fundamental information, now lacking, necessary In the var-
ious activities leading to reduction and control of air pollution
by parti culates. Specifically, for the three years of support
requested, we propose to carry out theoretical investigation
of the following subjects:
(a) Condensation and evaporation of aerosol particles in
the sub-micron range.
(b) Charging rates and charge distributions of aerosol .
particles, particularly in the sub-micron range.
(c) Motion of single non- spherical particles in the sub-aicron
size range.
(d) Evolution of size distributions of aerosols with
particular emphasis on the atmospheric aerosol.
(e) Evolution of the distribution of attached trace
substances with particular emphasis on the atmospheric aerosol.
The rigorous analyses of these various processes will be applied
to problems of inportance in particulates control such as
particle growth by condensation in the atmosphere, electrostatic
precipitation, deposition of non-spherical particles in control
devices and in the lung, and evolution of the distribution
of size and chemical composition of the atmospheric aerosol.

It -is the overall objective of this project to determine the role of solid participate
mtviitar in the chemical reactions which govern atmospheric pollution. Among the commonest^
solid pariiculates are Fe203s CaO, MgO, CaSQ, and various salts containing'Ca , NH. , Na ,
SO. „ C1"B and NO^". By adsorption these pap'ticulates may be sinks for such air pollutants
3c"*SO?, N02i COp, ^, ozone and organic oxidants and so transport them to'plants and
anU'la'i's or fay catalytic reactions be sources of o?pne, peroxides and organic'oxidants.
UQ liavo already found several reactions of atmospheric pollutants on Fe?0, and that
swch gases as NKV C09t and NO adsorb on CaSOfl. It is proposed to determine the structure
«iu> reactivity, Both therrna.i and photochemical, of the atmospheric pollutants on Fe203
(for tliosc systems we have not already investigated), CaS04, (some work already done);
MgO, CaCl.p, NapSO. NaCl, NH4S04 and such otHer oxides and salts as seems appropriate.
In consirffar-ing a particular metal oxide or salt our procedure 1s to first use a
'jtric, microba'iance, or chromatographic technique to determine the. amount of various
5'ifaospheric pollutants that will adsorb. Then the structures of adsorbed species are
di.-wrair.eu by "infrared spectroscopy. Finally reactivity of individual adsorbed gases
0- combinations of gasas may be determined by observing the composition of the gas phase
aiiova the surface by mass spectral or chromatographic techniques and by observing the
fiisinees in infrared spectra of the surface specie's as the sample 1s Illuminated with
a iBorcury arc lamp or heated.

The purpose of this program is to obtain information on the formation and growth of
aerosols in urban atmospheres by conducting a study in controlled simulated atmospheric
environments. The effects of varying conditions, such as reactan.t concentration, radiation
and mixing rate, on the formation of aerosols will be investigated. Specific activities
include: (a) Limited theoretical studies of chamber dynamics, gaseous and aerosol losses
i
in the chamber and connecting lines. ' (b) A comparative study using a 20,800 ft3 chamber
at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory and a 630 ft3 chamber at the University of Minnesota.
(c) An experimental study of aerosol kinetics, aerosol and gas losses, influence of
chamber size and wall effects. . .

(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
The overall aim of the proposed grant is to establish a better understanding of
the aerosol component of the photochemical air pollution as it exists in the South
Coast Air Basin of California. The chemistry of the aerosol and its formation will
be emphasized as opposed to the physics. This will be done by comparing the ambient
aerosol which is present very frequently in Riverside with synthetic aerosols preparud
in the laboratory by various photochemical and dark reactions. A tube flow reactor
and a bottle reactor will be used to prepare the laboratory aerosols. Aerosols
prepared synthetically and the ambient aerosols will be characterized by two major
procedures, each with several auxiliary techniques. One technique is particle
counting by light scattering. This will be used to quantify the aerosols studied.
Impaction of aerosols for analysis by infrared spectroscopy and other analytical pro-
cedures will be the second technique. This will permit chemical identification of
the aerosol and comparison of the chemical compositions of ambient and synthetic
aerosols.

The overall objective of t;he proposed investigation is a laboratory and field study
of the air chemistry fate of the vola-ti\£•.•terpenes emitted jnto the. atmosphere by for-
ests. ThTTTrst objective is to irradia^oonViplled concentrations of naturally emit-
ted foliage tcrpenoid volatile* to determine:; the disappearance rates of the various com-
pounds. The second objective is to de.ta.rmfne the distribution of naturally occurring_
terpenes and light hydrocarbons in rural forest atmospheres. The relative amounts of
these hydrocarbons will be compared witfj tjiia.distributions reported for known sources,
including the forest tree-types, urban a'ir masses,'and automobile exhaust. The third
objective is to irradiate samples of ambient forest air and determine the disappearance
rates of the terpene and light jiydrocarbons in air masses experiencing different levels
of extant air pollution. ' •• ) .... •{;, •? ••..,.
. This project is appropriate because there are no atmospheric photochemistry studies
of the terpenes and even studies of isoprene are very limited.It is important to
understand the atmospheric fate of thes§ ubiquitous, naturally occurring, reactive
hydrocarbons in the environment, in view of their natural'and aesthetic role in rural
environs. The project will also help'to <}efine the air pollution potential these terpe-
noid materials have in recreational atmospheres. This is especially important as Ameri-
ca's vacation lands are increasingly'experiencing.an influx of pollutants from auto
exhaust, campfires, and smog. The effect "of these pollutant types mixing with an atmos-
phere already rich in reactive hydrocart}oa» is .unknown. .However,-, it is possible that
the damage to the pondarosa pine forejts in the1 San Gabriel arid San Bernardino Mts. of
southern California is due in part ^fi^$er photochemical reactions of the high oxi-
dant but depicted hydrocarbon levels in. tfre invading L. A. $mog with the fresh supply of

The goal of this:; proposed research is to determine the significance of nori-
phptochomical jjaseous reactions for the formation of aei'osols in the atmosphere,
and to construct a comprehensive atmospheric model based on reaction rate constants
and measured concentrations of reactants. This will, hopefully, lead to new insights
into aerosol formation and distribution.
Specifically, we are interested in investigating the kinetics and thermodynamics
of the gas phase reactions of sulfur dioxide with ammonia and olefins, respectively,
. in the absence of light and in a simulated atmosphere to determine the extent to
which those non -photochemical reactions contribute to aerosol formation. In addition,
wo want to develop an atmospheric sulfur dioxide model using our reaction rate data
to describe the sources and sinks of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere.
Furthermore, we propose to investigate, whether or not nitric acid can be formed

UiE IHIS ;?ACE TO MAXE A a>OAO STATEMENT OF YOUR RESEARCH OtJECIIVCS
Over the past twelve years, the principal investigator and his students
have carried on research in the fields of aerosol physics and interfacial
transfer, with particular reference to the air pollution field. This research,
which has been both experimental and theoretical in nature, has led to new
concepts concerning the particle size distribution of disperse systems, new
methods of predicting the efficiency of filtration of particles from fluids and
methods of calculating rates of gas exchange with blood. We propose to
continue research in aerosol physics and interfacial transfer, investigating
in particular problems related to pulmonary function and to the filtration of
particles from gases. Three such problems discussed in the proposal are
(1) the transition from the diffusional regime to the incrtial regime in aero ol
deposition from flowing gases, (2) the theory of diffusion in an oscillatory
flow (with application to lung models), and (3) diffusion through mono-
cellular layers at. interfaces.
The application of modern concepts of particle and gas transfer wili,
we believe, lead to improved methods of estimating exchange rates in the
lung. This in turn will better our under standing of the physiological effects
of atmospheric contaminants, the transmission of air-borne disease, the
administration of aerosol therapy and the design of artificial lungs. In
addition, our research program will lead to improvements in the theory of
aerosol filtration as well as dust washout in the atmosphere and by industrial
scrubbers and other gas cleaning devices.

for these- purposes.
The purpose of this contract is to .obtain a mobile, trace gas monitoring system based
on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for use in field studies (California Aerosol
Characterization Study - 1972; Regional Air Pollution Study, St. Louis - 1973 and 1974);
in laboratory studies of infrared absorption and emission of aerosols; and monitoring the
Branch's very large (30 ft long) smog chamber. The contractor will fabricate, demonstrate,
and deliver a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic system for analysis of trace gases,
demonstrate system in a laboratory site in Los Angeles, and install the system in an
Environmental Protection Agency mobile laboratory. System will consist of the following
components: Interferometer, source and detectors, data system,long path cell, gas
handling equipment. Specific and sensitive analytical methods exist for a number of the
more common pollutants. However, there are a number of important pollutants for which
sensitive, specific, and near real time measurement techniques have not previously been
available. These include aerosol precursors, oxygenated organic compounds, and oxidants,
e.g.; NH3, HN03, H2CO, HCOOH, RCHO, RCOOH, H2.02, PAN's, HN02, and possibly other species.
Recent advances in instrumentation have led to the development of Fourier Transform
Spectroscopy. Work under laboratory conditions has shown that this technique can be used
for analysis at ppb concentration levels of NH3, I-IN03, H2CO, HCOOH, H202 in the presence
of other air pollutants and water vapor. Pollutants such as CO, CH4, NO, N02, S02, and 03
can also be determined although other techniques are available for these. It is reasonable
to suppose that other air pollutants can also be measured by this techrriq*ue. This kind of
system is needed as part of the Chemistry and Physics Branch mobile laboratory for field
studies.

gained with such controlled systems will provide neoossary know-how
for handling the rr,orc complicated field situations.

I for pro;:.-:-. ri;ig aerosols consisting of either solid or liquid spheres of
a variety of materials having ;\ narrow distribution of particle sizov-.
The present goals are to carry out quantitative studies of such
phenomena as (1) coagulation, (2) growth by vapor phase condonsation,
(3) evaporation, (4) growth by accretion, and (5) chemical reaction.
Tn the first case, one of the obvious problems is to observe the de-
tailed cha.'-.ge in particJe size distribuL.i on with time in order to
determine whether Snioluchowrjki coagulation kinetics is fo.llowod and to
v.-hat e:-:ttnt the theoretical predictions of workers such as Friodlander
and Ilidy are borne ouL. In the second casr:, one ol; Lhe things to l«virn
is the rate of growth of aftror»ol particle in a supcr.'i.-jturated atmos-
phere and the dependence of growth upon particle six.ii. The third case
is the inverse problem. The fourth is the special case of coagulation
v/hen a large droplet falls through an aerosol. The last problem deals
with the interaction between aerosol droplets of reacting species such
as H2S04 and NH3-
Each of these is a long-range problem. The amount of truly quantL-
tative work which has been done is not great. Work such as that
proposed is necessary in order to create an aerosol science.

The fates of those materials in the troposphere and stratosphere will be assessed.
The snethod of attack will involve three phases viz, (1) a continuing T-iterature c?arcl

A 60 ci;bic foot reaction chamber designed to simulate solar intensity and wavelength
distribution at zero air mass, arid having evacuation capability equivalent to 13C km

i-sost. stiojj tyi^e s.tudies carried out in large irradiation chambers are unrealistic. The
chamber is usually initially charged with the reaction mixtures, the lights turned on
and the reactant and products followed. Other studies involve the continuous influx of
roactants at constant levels and the reactor achieves equilibrium when steady state is
reached for raactant and products. However, the real atmosphere is neither of these.
7h«ro is usually a large initial influx due to the morning traffic and then a small
steady influx from the average daily traffic. The solar intensity and- temperature also
change with both increasing during the morning.
"flu.;?, study will .involve the use of a large irradiation chamber operated in a manner to
i-.irunlato actual atmospheric conditions (meteorology excluded). Hydrocarbons and NO will
be placed in the chamber as an initial stay arid then decreased as the light intensity
and tcarpevature are increased. NOo dosage, oxidant formation, hydrocarbon products and
ro act ant products will be monitored during the irradiation.
Tliis work will be delayed until a large chamber is available.

Field studies were undertaken in the summer of 1972 in order to characterize the
atmospheric pollutants in the St. Louis area. These pollutants include the CI-C^Q
hydrocarbons, PAN, oxygenates, NOX-, S02, NH3, HN03, H202 and p'articulates. Classical
gas chromatographic methods and wet chemical methods are employed, as well as the new
chemlluminescent and Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) methods, for pollutant
measurements. Irradiations will also be conducted with large Teflon bags containing
trapped air samples from the area. CO and C2H2 measurements will be taken upwind and downwind
from the city to note .pollutant trajectories.
The project began in "August, 1972 and.will be completed by June," 1973. Recommendations
to the RAPS program will be made by November, .1972.

Ve propose to continue this research project, concevn&d with the effects of atmospheric
aerosols, and their properties on visibility, by InvfstijMting several directly related areas.
Activities to date include the development of the ji_nte£r -:-.p ncpheloneier , and studies
with it related to nass concentration, vave length dcpenc!'-i:i •. o: 1 i i'.ht scattering, spatial
distribution of aerosol and huni_di_ty depi-nde-nce of visibility. : •isii.-i- vhia last area has
only been examined briefly, and because it depends on a better knowledge of aerosol chemistry,
it vill be studied much more extensively.
The role of the -chemical composition of aerosols to their physical and optical response
to increased humidity remains as an important and relatively unexplored problem. Preliminary
work has shown that the ncphelomctcr can be used for 1^n_ situ studies at humidities approaching
100*. Field experiments at the sea-shore and at Pasadena have shown interesting but, as yet,
unexplained effects at high (70-902) and lev (20-40/.') Rll respectively. The main thrust of • -
the proposed renewal will be to examine the inter-relationships of the three basic variables:
1) the amount, composition and size distribution of particular matter, 2) humidity,
3) optical properties. In order to do this, it will be necessary to develop techniques for
determining the noccssary chemical properties. It is also desireable to continue to study
methods for evaluation nf the appropriate optical quantivies. Extensive field experiments
are envisaged in keeping with our approach in the past, including joint experiments with
the Whltby team.
The past three years of research have had practical significance based on both scienti-
fic and technical results. An integrating ncphelonotcr based on our drawings is being manu-
factured nnd used widely in both research and monitoring of visibility degradation. Perhaps
more significance should be attached to the use of the (rr.ass) • (visual range) product as the
basis of Chapter 3 of "Air Quality Criteria for Paniculate Hatter." The proposed research
should have the same sort of significance. Specifically, criteria relating mass concentra-

During suitable periods of weather, aircraft flights will be made over selected flight
paths which will be representative of the rural and urban surfaces of the St. Louis
region. Reflected solar radiation will Be measured with a downward facing pyranometer
to measure the albedo of the various surfaces, by comparing the reflected radiation with
incoming direct and diffuse solar radiation measured at a rural and an urban site. InfareH
surface temperature will be measured, during both day and night to determine the thermal
response of the surface to the diurnal pattern of Incoming radiation. A preliminary
classification of the underlying surfaces according to its physical, characteristics -
type and variety of materials, and geometry with particular reference to shadowing of
surfaces - will be made and related to the aircraft measurements. This work is a
feasibility study to determine If results from the selected paths can be successfully
analyzed; if so, more extensive mapping flights should then be incorporated into the
total energy budget studies planned for the St. Louis Regional Air Pollution Study.
Field measurements will be made in August 1972, with reporting of the results in
December 1972.

Using recently developed gas chromatographic techniques, a number of candidate gasses
for use in tracer studies can be^eliably.and quantitatively measured at atmospheric
concentrations of one part in 10 to 10 . The methods presently used to collect
atmospheric samplers are unsuitable for quantitative atmospheric studies, in that
bulky and/or heavy containers are required to collect samples which can then be
transported to a central facility for analysis. This project will investigate
concentrating methods that might be suitable for use in field samplers, and determine
the quantitative stability of such methods under different ambient conditions which
might be encountered in field tracer operations, leading to the development of field
sampling hardware. This project is expected to begin in November 1972, with the methods
investigations completed in September 1973.

Atmospheric turbidity is a measure of the extinction of light due largely to scattering
with perhaps some lesser contribution from absorption by aerosols. Measurements are
normalised to a vertical path through the atmosphere. Turbidity measurements by sun-
photometer are now being made at 78 stations throughout the world. Fifty-two of the
stations measure turbidity at wavelengths of 0.38 and 0.50 micrometers while the remaininp
26 stations measure only at 0.50 micrometers.
The purpose of the project is to monitor atmospheric turbidity in the U.S. as well as
world xrfde to determine background values-, seasonal, and geographical variations, and
especially to expose any long term trends. The data are published every four months by
the National Climatic Center in AshevilJ.e, North Carolina. Instruments are supplied,
calibrated, and maintained by the Division of Meteorology.
The project was started in 1960 with about 10 U.S. stations. It grew to about 40 stations
by 1965, and in 1971-1972, the remainder of the stations, mostly foreign, were activated.
The idea of an international turbidity network is supported by the World Meteorological
Organization. The project is expected to continue for several years.

This study is concerned with the significant transport of air pollutants over distances
of several hundred to several thousand kilometers. Metal fractions of National Air
Sampling Network data are used as tracers. The origin of the particulate is determined
by low-level trajectories and the data are statistically analyzed to evaluate the importance
of long distance transport relative to meteorological and source conditions. Low-level
trajectories will also be used to determine the regional pollution burden of specific
large sources such as a large city and the Four Corners power plant. The results will
generally be presented as a climatalogical summary of frequency of 24- to 48-hour tra-
jectory terminal points in designated areas. However, specific cases are considered
individually (e.g., the May 1972 incident involving pollution transport to Miami from
the Midwest). The project was started in March 1972 and is expected to be completed in
December 1973.

One aspect of the Regional Air Pollution Study is to investigate the energy budget
of metropolitan St. Louis; urban-rural differences in the energy budget, and how
these urban-rural differences affect the weather and climate of the area. This project
is aimed at quantitatively describing the variation of incident solar (0.3 to 3.0
micrometers wavelength) and terrestial (3.0 to 50.0 micrometers) radiation throughout
the metropolitan area. Thus, this project is currently the first step in the
determination of the total energy budget. Actual measurements under this project
began in the summer of 1972 with a pilot program at two sites: downtown St. Louis
and a rural location 30 miles to the southwest. At each site the following were
measured: incident global solar energy in three wavebands (ultraviolet, visible,
and infrared), incident direct solar radiation in the same wavebands, incident global
terrestial radiation, atmospheric turbidity at 0.38 and 0.5 micrometers, atmospheric
particle concentrations as indicated by nephelometer, high volume filter sampler
and paper tape sampler, and air temperature and humidity. Analyses of the data will
focus on urban-rural differences and the reasons for these differences. During the
coming year an instrument package for aircraft measurements of most of the
parameters listed above will be tested. This will permit extension of the St. Louis
energy studies into the third dimension during and after 1973. This project was
first conceived in August, 1971 and is expected to continue through 1976.

It is the objective of the proposed program to establish a Select Research Group
at the Pennsylvania State University in the area of meteorology within the Department
of Meteorology and the Center for Air Environment Studies. The purpose of the Group
is to provide the capability for developing a coordinated attack on basic long-range
problems associated with atmospheric processes relating to air pollution. Work will
be conducted in four main areas that will include numerical simulation modeling of
atmospheric transport and diffusion, the atmospheric effects of air pollutants and
particularly of aerosol particles, atmospheric removal processes for air pollutants
and the rate of pollution removal due to interaction with the earth's surface, and
development of facilities such as the PSU aircraft for use in air pollution field
measurements. This project was started in June 72 and may continue for five years.

Invariant modeling provides a new closure scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations
in turbulent fluid motion. The success of this technique in predicting the structure
of turbulence in a variety of classical shear flows has suggested important applications
for atmospheric turbulence and diffusion. Initial tests for an atmospheric situation
were made for an infinite cross-wind line source of matter in the thermally stratified
loweYlayer of the atmosphere. Using only the mean wind and temperature profiles for
the atmosphere and a predetermined scale length, the vertical dispersion of a pollutant
release has been predicted within a factor of two of observed values out to distances
of about two miles. The study is currently being extended to permit analysis of
diffusion in an unstable surface atmospheric layer that is capped by a temperature
diffusion in three spatial dimensions from a point source is being considered together
with diffusion in the Ekman spiral of the planetary boundary layer. The method of
Invariant modeling is also being adapted so as to include within a coupled analytical
framework chemical reactions in the presence of turbulent mixing. This study will
attempt to define atmospheric situations where turbulent mixtng-sigm'ficantly affects
the rate of loss of primary photochemical pollutants and the rate of production of
secondary ones.
This project was started in Feb. 71 and will probably be extended beyond the
present termination data of Jan 73. .

for these purposes.
The feasibility of developing a mathematical-physical model of the urban boundary
layer that will permit prediction of its wind, temperature, turbulence and pollutant
structure is being investigated. Most multiple source urban diffusion models developed
in the past require that the diffusion be specified a priori as a function of the
meteorological conditions that are input for the model. The CEM model integrate;; in
three dimensions K-theory forms of the conservatism equations for momentum, heat and
atmospheric water content, in addition to the pollutant conservation equations. It
incorporates formulas relating the coefficients of turbulent transfer in the vertical
to the wind and temperature fields. Therefore it is capable of generating wind and
diffusivity fields that are physically derived and consistent in spatial and temporal
scale with the pollutant fields obtained. The model is currently being modified to
include a terrain factor that may be used to calculate topographically induced
vertical velocities and topographically modified values of the incident solar radiation
at the lower atmospheric surface. The modified simulation model will be applied to the
prediction of the meteorological and carbon monoxide pollution fields for six selected
historical days for the Los Angeles Basin of California. Evaluation of the model will
be based on its ability to predict the observed conditions for these days.
This is a continuing research project that was initiated in May 70.

Most large sources (e.g., power plants) inject pollution into the atmosphere at
considerable heights above the surface where dispersion characteristics have seldom
been adequately documented. Summaries of temperature lapse rate will be developed
for several sublayers between the surface and 1500 meters. Wind direction, speed,
and humidity statistics will be included. The summaries will be based on five years
of National Weather Service upper air observations, which for the most part will be
coincident (and complementary) with the data in our recent study (AP-101) on mixing
heights and wind speeds.
Inversion characteristics will be published and general applications to the
siting of large, single sources will be made, leading ultimately to a siting climatology
for the U.S. In addition, relationships between low level lapse rate (stabilities) classes
and Pasquill stability classes will be studied.
Description of the basic statistical information and its source will be widely
disseminated in order to encourage other applications of the data.

for these purposes.
Pollutant dispersion models require information on the removal mechanisms. Rainout
and washout are two major processes for the removal of atmospheric pollutants. They are
relatively efficient processes. This efficiency can have a detrimental side effect.
The incorporation of the pollutants into or onto the cloud drop, raindrop, snowflake, or
ice crystal changed the chemical composition of precipitation reaching the ground. The
resulting "acid rain" can have a toxic Biological effect, a detrimental effect on water
quality, and a corrosive effect on surface materials. This fiscal year emphasis will
be on the evaluation of existing data to locate areas where an "acid rain" problem exists,
determination of the magnitude of the problem, and estimation of the possible source area
of the pollutants causing the chemical change in the precipitation.
The first two aspects will be studied using basic statistical analyses of the data
from the National Precipitation Sampling Network (1959-1964) and such current data as is
available from the WMO monitoring network. Possible source area determinations will be
based on the statistical anlysis of trajectory families determined for each observation
(receptor) point. Available theoretical and experimental rainout and washout models will
be used to assist in interpreting the statistical results. This phase of the project will
extend from July 1972 to June 1973.

Balloon-fiorne soundings- of temperature, wind, and Humidity are. currently made tw
Environmental Meteorological Support Units GEMSUl iti 18 cities. This program is admin-
istered by NOAA but supported partly By- EPA. The primary purpose for making these urban
(or low-level) soundings has been to provide data for operational air pollution weather
forecasts. A number of older, low-level sounding stations have now accumulated sufficient
data that statistical anaylses can be made. Emissions and observed concentrations of
pollutants will be considered in these analyses, through which it is anticipated that a
further understanding of the inter-relationships with meteorology will emerge. This
understanding would lead to recognition of the limitations of the data, the development
ot more comprehensive forecasts, and would encourage further utilization of low-level
sounding data (e.g., in dispersion models).
The project is a cooperative one with the Division of Meteorology and the EMSU
meteorologist working together. It began in July 1972 and will be completed by July 1973.

gradients are weak and undefined, i.e., stagnation conditions. It is with these
conditions, however, when pollutant concentrations are normally highest. Forecasts
of these parameters are required for urban diffusion models to estimate expected
concentrations and specify optimum control strategies.
Statistical techniques will be investigated as a method of specifying the fi&ld
of input parameters for urban diffusion models; resulting in probability statements
of expected concentrations. The study will use historical data from past air pollution
potential episodes for investigating large-scale parameters, i.e., mixing heights and
wind speeds and RAPS data for investigating the spatial distributions of urban para-
meters. The study, started in July 1972, will extend through June 1975.

tor those purposes.
A comprehensive state-of-the-arts report is being prepared, primarily, from
information compiled and evaluated by Dr. Victor S. Salvin, University of North Carolina
nt Greensboro, N. C. The fading of dyes by ozone, sulfur dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen
is a recognised major problem in the Textile industry. • The degradation of fibers by
these pollutants has also been observed. The state-of-the-arts report now being prepared
describes what is known about these effects in detail and summarizes the research that
has been dona in the past. . •
i
Both industry and public awareness of the 'problem is reviewed. The greatest public
awareness is concerned with soiling by particulars rather than the effects of gaseous
pollutants.
•
The economic burden to the nation caused by these effects is being calculated.
Included in this cost is the development and use of more expensive dyes that are resistant
to pollution fading.
This report io expected to be completed in January, 1973.

A two level factorial experiment has been designed to investigate the direct .and
synergistic effects of seven environment variables on Weathering steel, galvanized steel,
exterior paints and plastics, textile fibers and dyes, rubber, marble and cement. These
materials will be exposed in specially designed controlled environment chambers. Kach
chamber contains means for controlling temperature, relative humidity, air flow, light
(Xenon lamp), and individual concentrations.of three gaseous pollutants - sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. Individual automatic proportional controllers regulate.the
concentration of each gaseous pollutants. The controllers are tired into individus.1
analyzers that continuously measure the specific pollutants. The chambers also possess
"chill" racks designed to control the temperature of. test specimens. During operation, tlu*
.chanters will be maintained to simulate night-day conditions. Increasing the number of
night-day cycles yields an.accelerated test procedure.
This factorial experiment will determine what effects exist. Subsequent experiments
will establish response relationships that are necessary in setting air quality standards
•and estimating economic benefits resulting from pollution control efforts.
This report is expected to be completed in October, 1974.

Trees and woody plants of the eastern United States will be exposed to ozone and
peroxyacetyl nitrate undsr controlled environmental conditions in the laboratory. Effects
of short term exposure (1-8 hrs) to relative high concentrations of ozone (10-25 pphm)
and PAN (10-30 pphra) and of long term exposures (weeks or months) to low concentrations
of ozone (2-10 pphra) will be examined. The relative sensitivities of Che various species
will be established on the basis of damage. A

Dr. Weinstein and his co-workers using a team approach will continue their studies
with fluorides and expand the studies to include S02. The field program has developed
technics for exposures of longer duration and- lower concentrations and used them to
determine latent or residual effects on crop.s.... Studies of the biochemical basis for
susceptibility to fluorides and S02 as these pollutants traverse a biological system
are in progress. Broad goals are to predict-* effects that may be significant and to
assist in standard setting. " ;

The mission of Environmental Protection. Agency requires the knowledge of
many areas which cannot be supported by an inhouse Effort. Certain areas
may be so newly developed or sophisticated that the development of an
inhouse capability could not be accomplished within the necessary timeframe.
Additionally it is necessary to have the flexibility of realignment of
program and the grant mechanism Is an efficient mechanism.
The pesticides health effect effort will be $517,000 and supports v/tfrk
in universities throughout the United States. Research in any area relevant
to th.e needs of pesticides health effects will be considered

Human populations are exposed to a complex of environmental stressors
including pesticides. Individuals are exposed to these agents, most of
which are neurotoxins, throughout their lifetimes either chronically or
repeatedly and most often in very low concentrations. The magnitude of
the insult may be too slight to manifest itself a-s an obvious functional
deficit yet may result in significant changes in the EEG.
Selected pesticides, based on usage and potential hazard, will be f'efd to
non-human primates at low levels and for prolonged -(3 years or more) periods
to rule out changes that may be transient. On-line, computer processing
of EEG will be performed. The methodology and expertise developed in these
studies will be applied to EEG recordings obtained from pesticide exposed
humans in order to test the feasibility of EEG as a monitoring procedure
using a portable instrument now under development.

Exposure to pesticides can induce or inhibit the metabolism of drugs. This
can result in increased or decreased susceptibi1ity "to the drug and thus
markedly influence its therapeutic efficacy. Such drug-pesticide interactions
must be recognized in order to effectively evaluate and/or predict the
therapeutic course associated with drug administration.
Studies will include: (1) Development of an in vitro procedure for -the
metabolism of lindane to chlorophenols, .(2) Correlation of rate of • f
appearance of organophosphorus pesticide metabolites to level of liver
microsomal mixed function oxidases as an in vivo index of enzyme induction
(3) Effects of Arochlors on drug-metabolizing pathways and cytochrome
levels. Chang.es will be related to dose, length of exposure and tissue
levels of test compounds.

Congenital malformations, fetal wastage, and impaired neonatal development
are a source pf major medical and sociological problems in. today's society.
The cause of the majority of these problems is unknown. One possible source
that has yet to be evaluated to any extent is low grade toxicity to the
mother 'or the fetus frpm ubiquitous environmental pollutants such as organic
and/or heavy metal pesticides.

Some pesticides have been shown to have deleterious effects on reproduction
in several species of mammals and further, show a more pronounced effect in
the second generation than in the first generation. These" studies are needed
for use by the Agency in establishing safe levels. of exposure for these
compounds in man.
Rats will be orally administered paraquat, SBP-1382, and hexachlon>bj;nzene
from the age of weaning, through maturity and pregnancy. Their offspr'lSig
will be retained on the same pesticide intake, allowed to mature and reproduce.

Pesticides have been shown to produce changes in "intermediary metabolic
pathways. Examples are: Acquired porphyria by alteration-of heme synthesis,
physiological and pathological changes produced by hormone imbalance and
altered lipid metabolism and changes in amino acids in the brain. Further
data is' needed by the agency to establish threshold levels and set minimum
safety concentration levels in body tissues. . .-
Small laboratory mammals and non-human primates .wi 11 be administered
selected pesticides according to usage and/or relative acute toxicity.
Intermediary metabolic pathways will be assessed for rates of activity and
abnormal performance. These observations will be correlated with pesticide
and/or metabolites level in the body tissues. Changes will be related to
dose and duration of exposure.

During the course of a long term oral toxicity st;udy in Sherman strain
rats, a malignant bladder tumor was found in one of ten female rats at the
dietary exposure of 100 ppm Aroclor 1260 (a PCB). Spontaneous bladder
cancers in rats are almost non-existent. Since Aroclor 1260 is found
increasingly in the environment it is important to determine whether this
compound is a bladder carcinogen. Autopsies will be performed at the
end of the study and tissues, particularly the bladder, examined micros.£opi-
cally. .-
The purpose of this study is to determine in a reasonably largf; number of
animals whether the previously observed bladder cancer was caused by the
carcinogenic action of Aroclor 1260 or .a metabolite thereof or whether it
was an incidental finding.

Many pesticides induce changes in organs that seem rather insignificant
when studied under the light microscope, for example, the liver enlargement
caused by chlorinated hydrocarbons. Examination of this tissue under the
electron microscope shows that pronounced changes have occurred in the
ultrastructure of the cell. Another application of the electron microscope
is in the study of grossly detectable lesions caused by pesticides in- order
to give a better understanding of the lesion and possibly mechanism of f
action of the pesticide. The obta.ined information will aid in.setting tolerance
levels and will give information on the nature of the effect that can be
expected from the pesticides.

Exposi/re to pesticides can induce alterations in heme synthesis and result
in porphyria. Studies on the specific enzyme .vulnerabilities are essential
to an understanding of the mechanism of action of the toxic compounds and
are needed by the Agency to establish safety standards.
Laboratory rats will be used in the study of effects of environmental
chemicals on heme synthesis and porphyriri excretion as well as tissue '
cytochrome levels.

Pesticides have been shown to affect multiple enzymes, rather than a
specific enzyme, by attaching to groupings on the molecule, common to all the
enzymes it affects. Biochemical NMR studies disclose the nature of the
complexing and identify vulnerable groups. These studies are essential
for pre-dicting the toal impact a pesticide toxicant will have on an exposed
animal. .
..• <
This project will recover enzyme-pesticide complexes from treated animals
and subject them to NMR spectroscopy. Derive the'chemical nature of the
complexing from the spectrographic data.
The project will make use of pesticide-treated animal tissues from other
exp.eriments thus extending the information obtained from them.

The findings recorded in the course of pathological studies will support
reulatory efforts and will help establish meaningful standards in outlining
exposure levels .for th.e general population and also high exposure groups.
Autopsies will be performed on animals dosed orally or dermally wittt/

scopic study. The animals are obtained from subacute and chronic feeding
studies and reproduction studies.
Organs of rats fed different dietary levels of SB 1382 (a pyrethrum
compound), Paraquat, Disulfoton and hexachlorobenzene will be studied. In
addition examination of organs of rats fed Aroclor 1260 and Aroclor 1254 will
be completed. Long term reproduction studies have been performed with most
of these animal-s prior to sacrifice

Large doses of pesticides (DDT, Dieldrin, or 2,4,5-T) interfere with male-,sex
harmone activity. Daily oral administration of DDT for 10-days (12.5 mg/kg and up)
cause a decrease in the ability of. the prostate gland to assimilate testa'steron'e and
reduces testosterone metabolism. The action of dieldrin is similiar tO'DDT on the
male accessory sex organ, while 2,4,5-T is capable of inhibiting testosterone
assimilation but is riot as deleterious to the reproductive organs as the other compounds.
Doses of 2-,4,5-T administered for 40 days at levels up to 25 mg/kg/day failed to
elicit changes in the accessory organ weigts or gonadal weights. Further studies ;?
will examine and attempt to relate changes in accessory organ metabolism to ''
biochemical functions in the body (Viz. androgen hydroxylase activity and cyclic
AMP formation). Attempts will be made to determine how pesticides alter sex accessory
gland metabolism. • . ••

Recent evidence indicates that members of the mai'n classes of insecticides
(chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates and carbamates) are subject
to phototransformation and that the products, in at least one case, photo
dieldrin, are more toxic than the parent. This project is investigating
the pos'ible photochemical pathways of transformation of organophosphorus
insecticides, to isolate and characterize the photoproducts and to relate them
to field conditions. The investigation will also include chlorinated ?
hydrocarbons not previously investigated for phototransformation. The
products will be evaluated for their toxicity to mice, alone and in
combination with the respective parent compound in order to detect possible
synergistic or antagonistic interactions. Products thus far examined include
aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor and malathion.

is an evaluation of the possible relationship between parental exposure to X
and S band radar, at an estimated exposure. range of 10 - 100 uW/cm2, and an
increase of congenital abnormalities occurring in their offspring. The study
is planned in 3 phases:
1. A determination whether the reported high rates of congenital
anomalies at Fort Rucker, Alabama is an artifact. If not, ....
2. Using multiple regression, analyze relationships from existing health
and occupational records between the incidence of congenital anomalies
and variables with potential as causal factors - especially those
associated with microwave radiation. If the high incidence rates are
still not clear, ....
3. Additional data will be obtained by personal interview and the same
type of regression model will be used for analysis including the data
from records as wel 1 .

'Microwave radiation is rapidly increasing as a means of communication. Microwave
transmitters are characteristically sited in high population denisty areas. Concern
exists for the possible behavioral and physiological effects of this type of radiation
on the living organism. .
Laboratory animals will be chronically exposed to 2450 MHz radiation at levels up to
200 mW/cm2 for protracted periods of time. Neurophysiologic and behavioral assessment
of the consequences of the stress will be determined, these will include signal
analyses of pertinent physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, and
EEG's; both ongoing and stimulated, and statistical analysis of'learjing acquisition

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (200 words or !••«.) - In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work In progress are exchanged with
government and private agencies supporting research, and are forwarded to investigators who request such Information. Your summary is to be used
for these purposes. gne Of the areas of prime importance in the radiation field 1s the effects of
low-level environmental radionuclides on the embryo. It has been shown that the zygote is
the most radiosensitive stage of mammalian development to killing. Using recently developed
techniques pre-emplantation embryos can be sustained imVtoro to the blwtstocyst stage.
Thus, pre-implantation abnormalities arising from 1 owTevel exposure to tritium 90Sr can
oe directly observed and the dose-effect correlations with subsequent pre and post
implantation development may be assessed qualitatively and quantitatively.
To date it has been found that chronic doses as low as 5 - 10 rads from tritium
[in Vitro and in Vtvo) and j»9Sr .(i.n Vftro) will reduce the percentage of cells which
develop to the blastocyst stage in mice. Chronic parental exposure of mice to 10, 50
Dr 100 yCi/ml of HTO resulted in sterility of both males and females by the F« generation
it 50 yCi/ml (15 rads/day) and a marked decrease in fertility of females in tne F2 at
10 yCi/ml (3 rads/day). First generation makes exposed to 10 or 25 uCi/ml had a marked
decrease in fertilizing capacity of sperm and in the pre-implantation development of
anbryos. Similar results in males were obtained after I.1 P. injection of 28 yd of 9C)Sr.
Proposed work will include definition of the type and frequencies of morphologic
abnormalities occuring in pre-inplantation stages and extension of the trittum and
*®Sr exposures to lower levels and through 6 generations.

particularly sensitive to radiation-induced cancers. In order to explore the effects as
a result of low-level exposures to a prime environmental contaminant-, tritiated water...
Sprague-Dawley rats have been exposed throughout gestation only to 1, 10, 50 or 100 yCi

One of the .governing factors in setting population radiation standards is the genetic
consequences of the exposure. Tritiated water is an environmental contaminant and
produces total body radiation exposure. In order to make a test of the validity of the
ICRP recommendations for continuous exposure of individuals in the general population to
tritiated water, Sprague-Dawley rats have been continuously exposed from conception thru
the delivery of an F£ generation to body water levels of HTO of 0.01, 1 and 10 yd/ml.
These activities provide 3 millirads - 3 rads/day of total body irradiation and are
2 - 2000 times the ICRP recommendations. To date the results are:

on *"'po^le'i-cjevei|0pLing CNS Of the fetus is considered to be the most radio-sensitive
mammalian system and may be one of the limiting factors in setting population
radiation exposure standards. Since tritiated water, is a pri'me environmental
contaminant, we are investigating, the effects of continuous low-level, intra-uterine
irradiation with tritium on the postnatal CNS neurochemical levels of Sprague-Dawley
rats. Previous work has shown that luCi HTO/ml body water (0.3 rads/day) thru gestation
oroduced no gross pathologic effects but 10 - IpOyCi/ml reduced relative and absolute
brain weights. The question is do these observations have any neurological significance.
Norepinephri.ne and acetylcholinesterase levels .in the brain are considered to be indices
of the sympathetic and parasympathetic enervatipn of the brain. The results to date

The -indication is that lyCi/ml of HTO thru pregnancy has no effect on the neurotransmitter
levels in the brain and although the absolute and relative brain size of lOOpCi/ml animals
is reduced at all ages the result.is higher than normal production of NE which may indicate
an impaired release mechanism.

SUfVLMARY OF PROPOSED V.'ORK - (200 words or Icsi.) - In the Scicr.cc'lnformotion Exclionge summ: lies of work in progress ore exchanged witri
govcmmcnr ond private agencies supporting research, ond ore forwort'cd to investigators v/ho request such information. Your summary is to bc.uscj
for ilicsc purposes.
Substantial -evidence exists that osteogenic sarcomas -can arise from alpha emitting radionuclide?
deposited in the skeleton. Although this has been known for about 45 years there has not beer
sufficient basic data to. perform the detailed calculations of physical bone dosimetry. .The
dosimetry is complex and four factors must be established i£~ realistic spatial dose distributi..,.vS
in bone are to be determined^.:., These, factors are: 1) the locatiqnaof. the aj.pha emitter in bone,
i.e., uniformly distributed or 4is.trifeuted only on bone surfaces; -2) the dimensions of bone
jp.icros£ruc£ure; 3) the locat'idns' of cells which are critical targets for biological damage;
4) the exact, expressions for the energy loss ,of alpha emitters., traversing mineral bone and
bone marrpw:- '. . - . •'••','' •"
T.'ifc first two factors are reasonably well known for man and a few animal species. The cells
which are critical targets are not absolutely known, but the tumors appear to arise in a, thin
layer of cells near endosteal surfaces. The fourth factor has recently been determined' and
experimentally verified for calculation of energy loss in soft tissue for ..several alpha eraitt_..j.
It is now possible to calculate the energy loss in other tissues from this data and to evaluate
the energy loss from alpha emitters deposited in bone.
The spatial dose distribution for alpha emitters will be calculated for critical sites in man,

and for the animal species where bone microdimensions are
available, using a high speed computer. Since the tumor
response to various alpha emitters is known, for a few
animal species, a comparison of the known response with the
dose distribution, will provide an estimate of the tumorogenic
dose. This in turn can be compared with data for man to'
extend the estimates to areas where there is still insufficient
data on man.

Whole body 85&r contc-nt is determined -frequently during saturation and/or desaturaticn,
plotted vs. time, and resolved into exponential components with graphical anc computer
techniques. Body Bf>Kr content may be determined by several methods including: (1-) v/hoie

Guinea pigs, Chinese hamsters and rats will bo acutely exposed "to Kr in an essentially
beta infinite geometry (tank 18' long x 8' 2" diameter) to di? tormina median 'lethal
exposures and to study hematological and pathological changes associated with such
exposure. .Cytogenetic effects on Chinese hamsters, for both exposed animals and their
offspring will be studied at the median lethal exposure level'. The exposure conditions
will closely approximate those. postulated in current calculations of (MPC)a by the ICRP,
NCIlP, etc.
The project began -in. June 1972. Initial .exposures are .expected to begin in April 1973.
Median lethality data is expected to be complete in December 1974, hoir.atology and
pathology data in June 1975 and- cytogenetics data in December 1975.

Median luthal exposures and associated pathology and hematology are being studied for
£uino« piga breathing an.85Kr - air mixture: A special 10-animal closed life support
and o:osurc system is being used which "protects, the exterior of the body, with the
exception of part of the face, from the o^Kr-beta .radiation while permiting the un-
anesthetir.ed animals to breathe the test mixture. Groups of animals are being exposed
for a fixed time to selected concentrations of 85^r and then observed for.60 days
(including weighing and recording of clinical .phanomena as V7ell as incidence and time.-
of deaths) to dateruine the median. lethal- exposure for guinea pigs to ^^r under thesfc
conditions. MortT'gulnea pigs will be subjected to the median lethal exposure for ser'ial
study of hcma.tolog.ical and pathological changes and cause(s) of death.
Thist project'is part of a comprehensive investiga'tion of the physiological behavior and
radiation effects of 85Kr. Design work and pilot experiments started at the University
ov Rocliestcr in 1971. Lethality experiments'began at EERL in June 1972 and will be
complete by March 1973. Pathology/hematology -studies will be complete by March 1975.
