“…Lynn and McMullen [89] evaluated concentrations, seasonal and diurnal variation of five pollutants across CAMP, demonstrating the utility of the standardised reporting procedure. The depth of this study contrasts with those using NASN measurements, which were limited to discussion of frequency distributions between different classifications of sites [81]. These days, the use of the Internet for the storage of monitoring network data has extended the standardised reporting implemented by CAMP, and greatly increased the accessibility of monitoring data.…”

“…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].…”

“…However, only a single daily measurement of "suspended particulate matter" was collected once every two weeks at 260 sites [78][79][80]. The low temporal resolution limited the information gained from the NASN [81,82], and the establishment of more advanced networks permitted more detailed investigation of the nature of air pollution in the US (see below).…”

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.

“…1 Considerable use was made of the computer in support of data processing and analysis related to the Nashville Community Air Pollution Survey in 1958 and 1959. 2 By 1962, computer usage was sufficient to warrant installation of a Honeywell 400 (H-400) system at the Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center in Cincinnati.…”

“…This estimate is based on 23 samples of TSP collected at an air monitoring station in Bryce Canyon Park, Utah. 5 When the logarithm of 5.051 is taken, the standard deviation of the logarithms of the 23 TSP measurements, 1.6196, is obtained.…”
