Abstract: In this paper, we report the results of research to estimate direct monetary losses to agricultural producers in the Ohio River Basin from airborne residuals. Research results support the following conclusions: monetary losses to agricultural producers in the region are on the order of 10–12% of the present discounted value of clean-air production through the year 2000; losses from utilities alone are on the order of 4–5%; losses are highly concentrated in the ORBES portions of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio and primarily related to soybean and corn production; the overwhelming monetary losses are attributable to O3 concentrations in the region.
