Abstract
The Houston Regional Monitoring Corporation
(HRM) is an association of more than 40 industrial
companies located in or near the Houston Ship Channel
area. Since 1981, HRM has operated one of the largest
EPA approved monitoring networks in the United States.
Initially, monitoring was performed for meteorological
parameters and the six criteria pollutants. In 1987 HRM
expanded its monitoring program to include a long-term
baseline measurement program for volatile organic
indicator compounds. This paper describes operation of the HRM program and discusses how HRM activities
relate to air quality issues affecting Houston Lighting &
Power Company.
