Comparison of Results of Atmospheric Pollution Measurements with Standards of Air Quality,

Abstract

A method is suggested for the quantitative comparison of the results of measurements of the concentration of atmospheric pollutants with air quality, for an arbitrary interval of time. The quantitative criteria were determined on the basis of mathematical statistics by the method of confidence intervals. There were considered two basic variants; when the obtained results produced a simple test and when they produce a stationary time series. The problem of comparing emission measurement results with air quality standards was solved on the basis of an empirical model worked out in the USA by Larsen. The essence of the operation is the establishing of a guaranteed decision function for the two basic cases.
