IMPROVEMENT OF FAIRBANKS ATMOSPHERIC CARBON MONOXIDE MODEL--A PROGRAM FOR CALIBRATION VERIFICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION

For over a decade the relationship between high levels of ambient carbon monoxide and automobile emissions has been documented for the city of Fairbanks. This relationship of highway transportation and air pollution inextricably links the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to the search for plausible air pollution control strategies at the planning and programming level as well as for environmental assessment during design and construction. With high carbon monoxide levels being recorded in other Alaskan cities the potential need for the Department to consider the air pollution problem on a statewide basis becomes more evident. This project was undertaken to survey the potential for up-grading and implementing a carbon monoxide dispersion computer model on a broader basis than used to date which would support the planning process and aid in environmental impact assessment.
