Multistate Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study

OBS: One of DOE's [Department of Energy] predecessor's, the Energy Research and Development Agency (ERDA), recognized that many of the effects of energy use on the environment and health are regional in nature; so ERDA initiated a regional sulfate pollution study in 1976. This study, the Multistate Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study (MAP3s), had as its major goals the improvement of the Nations capability to understand and predict the atmospheric effects of emission from fossil-fuelled electric generation plants.
