Table 12b—Sr* SURFACE AIR CONCENTRATION,
FOREIGN LOCATIONS
There is considerable uncertainity in the air volumes of samples collected at

Kodiak, Alaska, Port Lyautey, French Morroco, 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 volume is provided

by the average Washington, D. C. volumes for equivalent collection periods.
On this basis, the relative air concentration data should be considerably im-

proved, although their absolute value may be in error by as much as 50 per
cent, All the earlier reported air filter data for Kodiak, Port Lyautey, and
Yokosuka have been estimated on chis basis, and the new results are presented below,
