- Abstract
- This report describes the scientific program of the Microchemical Analysis Section of the Analytical Chemistry Division of the National Bureau of Standards, Institute for Materials Research during July 1970 to June 1971. General activities are reported in the areas of air pollution measurement standards including both gases and particulates, in the field of microchemical analysis, in fire research and in electrochemical analysis performed under an international research grant program. A sulfur dioxide standard reference material for use in monitoring ambient atmosphere, and the initial work on a similar standard for stationery sources are described. Research activities on potential standard reference materials for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide are also described.
