Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm developed by Modak and Lohani (1984a) has been extended to consider multiple objectives for the optimum siting of ambient air monitors. Two approaches have been proposed, namely one based on the utility function and another based on the principles of sequential interactive compromise. The sequential interactive approach is heuristic but perhaps best suited to consider several objectives at a time, and particularly when professional judgements are also involved. The utility function approach may be normally restricted to two objectives at a time, but could be extended to consider a number of pollutants in the optimum design. For the purpose of illustration, the case of Taipei City, Taiwan has been considered.
