The Difficulty Of Forecasting Ambient Air Quality: A Weak Link In Pollution Control, W. David Conn
The Difficulty Of Forecasting Ambient Air Quality: A Weak Link In Pollution Control, W. David Conn
City and Regional Planning
This article examines one important component of the problem of implementing the federal government's Clean Air policy, namely, the difficulty of quantifying the relationship between emissions to the atmosphere and ambient air quality.

Crimes & Illness: The Psychological & Criminal Defects Derived From The Architectural & Spatial Design In Public Housing Projects, David Preece
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The architectural and spatial design and two public housing projects, Brownsville and Van Dyke, located in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, were tested to determine their effects upon the crime rates and mental illness.

A significant difference in the crime rates was noticed between them with the Van Dyke Houses having a higher crime rate. Since Van Dyke also had a significantly higher percentage of mental illness than compared …
