The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) established the
"Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society" (CCMS) at the
November 1969 meeting of the North Atlantic Council. The CCMS was
charged with developing meaningful environmen tal and social
programs that complement other international pro grams, and with
showing leadership, first, in solution of exist ing problems and,
second, in development of long-range goals for environmental
protection in the NATO sphere of influence and in other countries
as well. A first Pilot Study on Air Pollution was initiated by the
CCMS at its inaugural meeting in December 1969. It resulted in
documents about the definition of criteria for the effects of air
pollutants as well as the development of assess ment methods for
air quality in urban areas. A second Air Pollution Pilot Study
(1975-1979) worked out the basics for setting up assessment methods
for emissions inven tories, techniques for the practical
application of meteorologi cal diffusion models as well as the
development of guidelines for an Air Quality Management System
(AQMS). Within this second Air Pollution Pilot Study attention to
modelling concentrated on the Gaussian Plume Model. A third Pilot
Study on Air Pollution Control Strategies and Impact Modelling then
was initiated in 1979 and started in 1980."
