Three studies at two ozone concentrations have been carried out in an attempt to define the effect level for ozone under simulated flight conditions. All experiments were carried out in an altitude chamber held at 6,000 feet MSL; relative humidity was kept at 10-12 percent and temperature at 68 - 74 deg F. Subjects were paid nonsmoking men and wome

Public transit operations in Texas were analyzed to explore transit costs and changes from 1973 through 1977. Fifteen transit systems were examined to determine what cost components are causing cost escalation. The results showed that as transit systems decrease in size, their cost increases over time become greater, particularly their administrati
