The method, a simplification of the conventional gas chromatographlc (GC) speciation technique, uses cryogenic preconcentration and flame ionization detection but does not use a GC column. Tests to compare this simplified method to the GC speciation technique, using actual ambient air samples, were carried out. Test results showed that the sensitivity and precision of the simplified method approach those of the speciation technique. Other test results verified that the use of stainless steel sample canisters for collection and temporary storage of NMOC samples Is acceptable and contributes little additional variability to the method.","PeriodicalId":17188,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82740980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pilot study in 51 nonmanufactured dwellings preceded an indoor formaldehyde survey in more than 500 mobile homes from throughout California. In the mobile home study, 663 residences were included in the summer phase (July/August 1984) and 523 in the winter phase (February/March 1985). Four hundred and seventy-two of these mobile homes were monitored twice, once in both the summer and winter phases of the study. Each investigation was carried out entirely by mail, including solicitation of volunteers, placement and recovery of monitors, collection of data on occupant- and housing-characteristics, and communication of test results. Results of formaldehyde measurements in both manufactured and nonmanufactured dwellings are presented and the feasibility of monitoring indoor air quality by mail is discussed.","PeriodicalId":17188,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00022470.1986.10466104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14853327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acid rain and ozone are the two pollutants most frequently mentioned as causal agents in the forest decline problem. One plant-environment interface where atmospheric pollution may be having an impact is the symbiotic association between roots and soil fungi known as mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizae are essential for the survival and growth of most forest tree species in the natural environment. Mycorrhizal fungi can affect the nutrient uptake and translocation, water uptake, root morphology, carbon metabolism and disease resistance of the host plant. In specific instances, mycorrhizal infection has been observed to enhance tree growth increase seedling survival or protect plants from root disease. Therefore, sensitivity of the mycorrhizal association to atmospheric pollution could be harmful to forest trees and might influence the decline of forests.","PeriodicalId":17188,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76571097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
