During late 1985, the Research Management Committee (RMC) of the
National Crop Loss Assessment Network (NCLAN) decided the most ap
propriate way to bring the NCLAN program to a successful conclusion
was to hold an international conference. It was envisaged as an
opportunity to present an overview of results from the NCLAN
program and as a chance to view the results in the context of
ongoing research by members of the international community. *
Although we wanted the Conference to have an assessment
orientation, it was also intended for the Conference to focus on
current state-of-knowledge. The Conference was designed to overview
the needs of crop loss assessment, current approaches to
assessment, progress in the development of predictive models, the
use of the information for economic predictions, and the
application of the data in policy decisions. Every effort was made
to assure a broad representation of ideas. The Conference program
was developed to evaluate major issues that address
regional/national assessments of impacts of atmospheric pollutants
on agricultural production. Sessions were structured to address
specific issues by invited speakers, and by contributed papers and
posters. First, background needs for doing loss assessment research
including specific approaches and a rather detailed review of the
NCLAN program were addressed (Session I). Session II addressed the
needs for defining the exposure environment (e. g. extrapolating to
regional concentrations and exposure characterization). Field
approaches for determining crop loss were reviewed in Session III."
