The report contains an analysis of the life saving benefits resulting from the 55 mph NMSL from 1974-1979. Monthly fatality data from 1970-1979 was used in a time series model to arrive at the estimated safety benefits (lives saved). The time series model relates changes in monthly fatalities to changes in monthly vehicle miles traveled, introducti

Available literature regarding long-term effects of ozone on animals and humans is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on reports that have appeared since 1976, but some earlier reports are cited for completeness and perspective. This review shows that ozone concentration is more important than is duration of exposure in determining the effectiveness of a

The need for adequate compaction of asphalt concrete has been recognized since the very beginning of asphalt pavement construction. The first asphalt pavements in the United States were built around 1870 and the first successful tandem steam roller was built in 1875. Since 1875 engineers have learned a great deal about the need for and benefits of
