Abstract

During July and August, 1976, participants from seven research laboratories undertook a collaborative study of the New York City aerosol. The study was designed to characterize both the chemical and physical properties of the upwind or background aerosol and the aerosol in New York City in the summer. This report presents in brief summary form a description of the New York Summer Aerosol Study (NYSAS) and the principal findings that have emerged to date.
