Abstract

During the period of the Nashville Community Air Pollution Study, the Weather Bureau at Nashville, Tenn., forecasted air pollution to be one of three levels for the following day. The forecast method was most reliable during the winter season when pollution ranges were high. Discrimination of air pollution levels can undoubtedly be improved through experience and further studies, and the method is general enough to be used at other locales.
