SrSurface Air Concentration, Foreign Locations

There is considerable uncertainty in the air volumes of samples

collected at Kodiak, TeAe, Port Lyautey, F.M., and Yokosuka, Japan

because the flow rate is not directly recorded,

For the earliest

reports of air filter data for these three locations, the rated flow
rate times the total collection period was taken as the collected
air volume. Because the flow rate falls off substantially as dust
accumulates on the filter, those samples were overestimated in
volume and thus the reported air concentration data were too low,

It is considered that a better estimate of their air volum is

provided by the average Washington, D. C. volumes for equivalent

collection periods.

On this basis, the relative air concentration

data should be considerably improved, although their absolute

value may be in error by as much as 50% or so. All the earlier
reported air filter data for Kodiak, Port Lyautey and Yokosuka
have been estimated on this basis, and the new results are presen-=
