“…The USA established a national monitoring network, the Continuous Air Monitoring Program (CAMP), in 1963 [88]. However, in contrast to the large number of sites established for the UK National Survey, CAMP comprised six sites located in six cities.…”

“…These sites were coordinated specifically to investigate the role of vehicle exhaust emissions on air pollution. Although comprising only six sites, a feature of the CAMP network was the concurrent, continuous measurement of seven atmospheric constituents [89], many at sub-hourly time resolution [88], compared with the low temporal resolution measurements of the NASN [81,82].…”

“…Furthermore, the higher time resolution of the CAMP measurements (sub-hourly), afforded more options in the statistics reported compared to the National Survey (daily). A punch-tape recording system automatically stored data, and a computer program calculated the daily average concentration, the monthly-averaged 24 hourly concentrations, the daily maximum hourly concentration and the daily maximum 5-min concentration of each pollutant [88]. The standardised reporting of CAMP measurements using these statistics was instigated to facilitate investigation of "inter-relationships between pollutants, concentration data, averaging period, dosage data etc.…”

Abstract:Ground-based monitoring networks for evaluating atmospheric composition relevant to impacts on human health and the environment now exist worldwide (according to the United Nations Environment Programme, 48% of countries have an air quality monitoring system). Of course, this has not always been the case. Here, we analyse for the first time the key developments in network coordination and standardisation over the last 150 years that underpin the current implementations of city-scale to global monitoring networks for atmospheric composition. Examples include improvements in respect of site type and site representativeness, measurement methods, quality assurance, and data archiving. From the 1950s, these developments have progressed through two distinct types of network: those designed for the protection of human health, and those designed to increase scientific understanding of atmospheric composition and its interaction with the terrestrial environment. The step changes in network coordination and standardisation have increased confidence in the comparability of measurements made at different sites. Acknowledged limitations in the current state of monitoring networks include a sole focus on compliance monitoring. In the context of the unprecedented volumes of atmospheric composition data now being collected, we suggest the next developments in network standardisation should include more integrated analyses of monitor and other relevant data within "chemical climatology" frameworks that seek to more directly link the impacts, state and drivers of atmospheric composition. These approaches would also enhance the role of monitoring networks in the development and evaluation of air pollution mitigation strategies.

“…6 Continuous and concurrent data are now available for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, total oxidant, and total hydrocarbons for seven major American cities. For one of the cities, Cincinnati, Ohio, a rapid air pollution source inventory capable of giving gross comparative data is also available for oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and total particulates.…”

“…When stations are widely distributed throughout the United States, as in the Continuous Air Monitoring Program, 1 it becomes increasingly difficult to insure that the instrument systems are in calibration. Static checks and calibrations are performed at the sampling site on a routine basis, but these merely test the electronic sections.…”
