A Study of Air Pollution in the Virgin Islands
Division of Environmental Health and Virgin Islands Department of Health. 1969. A Study of Air Pollution in the Virgin Islands
The policies followed in preparing this report are in line with those defined in the Air Quality Act and those followed by all other Air Quality Regions. Figure (1) is a flow diagram of the factors considered in preparing this report and steps to be implemented towards formal designation of the Virgin Islands as an Air Quality Region. The inaccessibility of a computer necessitated the omission of diffusion models in the evaluation. However, for the purpose of this study, each individual island is considered as a grid zone and the total emission is assumed to be equally distributed over that zone. Figure (2) depicts a typical flow diagram for action to control air pollution on a regional basis, under the Air Quality Act.
