Abstract

The first regional warning system was developed by the New York-New Jersey Cooperative Committee on Air Pollution and was put into operation in 1964. In 1967, new criteria were adopted based on recommendations of a workshop sponsored by City College of New York at the request of State agencies. With the passage of time, it has been recognized that the criteria necessary to call an alert required updating and strengthening. In recognition of this, the Commission sponsored a workshop of government officials to evaluate the criteria and levels of the sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate parameters used in the system and to consider the addition of other parameters.
