Factors Influencing Ozone Dose—Yield Response Relationships in Open-top Field Chamber Studies

  • Chapter
Assessment of Crop Loss From Air Pollutants

Abstract

The National Crop Loss Assessment Network (NCLAN) consisted of a group of government and non-government organizations cooperating to determine immediate and potential effects of air pollution on crop production (Heck et al. 1982b, 1983b, 1984b). The major NCLAN objective was to obtain valid relationships between seasonal exposure to different levels of ozone (O3) and yields of important agricultural crops. Prior to NCLAN, results for only five field experiments of this type were available. The NCLAN program produced significant O3 dose-yield relationships from 38 field experiments. These dose-response results were needed for estimates of the annual impact on the US economy caused by a range of ambient O3 levels. These estimates are needed by the US EPA in setting national ambient air quality standards for O3.
