QUESTIONS

1. List the two major functions of a quality assurance program and describe how they are
interrelated.
2. List the advantages and disadvantages of remote sensing techniques by optical methods.
3. Determine which month and location have the greatest number of hours with ozone
concentrations s.Ol ppm, using Table 15-3.
4. Determine how many monitoring stations per million people are located in the four counties
in southern California shown in Fig. 15-1.
5. What are the physical constraints in placing instrumentation in aircraft or motor vehicles?
6. What are appropriate uses of mobile platforms for monitoring?
7. Describe the chemical behavior of the b^ and ozone concentration profiles of the St. Louis
urban plume in Fig. 15-2. What is the reason for the sharp increase of b scat and the sharp
decrease of ozone in the vicinity of power plants?
