Phase I, a general study of the overall air pollution problems in the St. Louis - East St. Louis Metropolitan area, was conducted to determine specific activities that would require further study in Phase II of the project. The effort was divided into two phases to provide a logical stopping point in the event that interest and resources for proceeding further might not materialize. The necessary impetus did continue, however, and the Phase II operation was also completed. The Phase I operation resulted in a detailed report, designed primarily for use of the Executive Committee members and their agencies in making decisions concerning the Phase II project operation. A Phase I summary report was also prepared; it received wide distribution. Numerous papers, brochures, and reports were prepared during Phase II operation, as were some 18 Memorandums of Information and Instruction concerning the project. All of these documents were drawn upon in the preparation of the Phase II project report. The Phase II project report consists of eight separate volumes un der the following titles: I. Introduction II. Air Pollutant Emission Inventory III. Air Quality Measurements IV. Odors Results of Surveys V. Meteorology and Topography VI. Effects of Air Pollution VII. Opinion Surveys and Air Quality Statistical Relationships iii |
