| Description: | Special Report Abstract: A building materials sampling program for the Portland, Maine, region was conducted in July and August 1984 to examine the types and amounts of building surface materials exposed to acid deposition. The stratified, systematic, unaligned random sampling approach was used to generate sample points across the six sampling frame areas. A minimum of 70 sample points was examined per sampling frame to yield a total sample size of 461 points. Building sizes, surface materials, roof characteristics, roof-mounted apparatus, chimneys, gutters, downspouts and fences were recorded. This report provides an initial summary of the data collected. |
