Summary

The rationale for a priority structuring of EPRI's Regional Air Quality Studies (RAQS) is provided and translated into a five-year research plan. Four topical research problems are addressed. They are SO/sub x//NO/sub x/ chemistry, acidic precipitation, trace elements and fine particles, and visibility. The analysis and planning includes an identification of research needs common to all four areas as well as specialized research requirements. The plan also addresses the desirability of coordinating EPRI's RAQS projects with complementary research funded by other agencies. The results of this analysis and planning exercise take the form of a comprehensive examination of the research required to meet the electric utility industry's needs, and a priority ordering of this research during the next five years. A major conclusion is that the large regional measurements projects that have characterized EPRI's RAQS projects to date should be gradually diminished (but not eliminated) in favor of a more nearly balanced program of theoretical, laboratory, and analytical efforts.
