SrSurface Air Concentration, Foreign Locations

124 + 8
NYOO

There is considerable uncertainty in tne air volumes of samples
collected at Kodiak, T.A., Port Lyautey, F.!i., 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 flov rate falls off substantially as dust

accumulates on the filter, those sam»sles were overestimated in

volume and thus the revorted air concentration data vere too low.
It is considered that a better estimate of their air volume is
provided by the average “lashineton, D, C,. volumes for equivalent

collection neriods.

On this basis, the relative air concentration

data should be considerably improved, although their absolute

value mar be in error by as much as 50% or so.

All the earlier

reported air filter deta for Kodiak, Port Lyautey and Yokosuka
have been estimated on this basis, and the new results are presen=
ted belo.
