A Description of the Building Materials Data Base for Portland, Maine.

Abstract

A building materials sampling program program for the Portland, Maine, region was conducted in July and August 1984 to examine the types and amounts of building surface materials exposed to acid deposition. The stratified, systematic, unaligned random sampling approach was used to generate sample points across the six sampling frame areas. A minimum of 70 sample points was examined per sampling frame to yield a total sample size fo 461 points. Building sizes, surface materials, roof characteristics, roof-mounted apparaturs, chimneys, gutters downspouts and fences were recorded. This report provides an initial summary of the data collected. Keywords: Acid precipitation; Damage assessment; Damage from acid deposition; Damage to buildings; Data bases; Environmental protection; Statistical analysis.
