This report contains summaries of the air quality In July 1997, EPA revised the primary standard for data collected by DEPs Bureau of Air Quality particulate matter by adding standards for fine during the 2004 calendar year. Data from particulates (particulates less than 2.5 micrometers Philadelphia or Allegheny counties can be obtained in diameter - PM2.5). The increased resources by contacting those agencies directly. Mailing needed to implement and operate the PM2.5 addresses and telephone numbers for all three monitors resulted in significant cuts to the PAQSS agencies are listed in Appendix B. network. The remaining sites were chosen to support needed lead monitoring.

In addition to the normal air monitoring surveillance conducted by DEP, two cooperative monitoring efforts continued this year. DEP has renewed a cooperative agreement with Pennsylvania State Universitys (PSU) Department of Plant Pathology to conduct ozone monitoring in five remote areas.
The collected ozone data will be used to determine possible effects to forests and crops and assess ozone transport in rural Pennsylvania. The sites are located in the Moshannon State Forest, Clearfield County; Tiadaghton State Forest, Lycoming County; near Gleason, Tioga County; at the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Penn Nursery, Centre County; and in State College, Centre County.

CHAPTER 1 - Air Quality Standards One of the primary goals of the ambient air monitoring program is to obtain data to compare against air quality standards. Pennsylvania has adopted and incorporated by reference all of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), as well as several state ambient air quality standards. These standards, designed to protect the public health and welfare, are shown in Tables 1-1 and 1-2.
There are two types of NAAQS standards: primary and secondary. Primary standards protect against adverse health effects, while secondary standards protect against welfare effects such as damage to crops, vegetation, and buildings, and decreased visibility.

The continuous Beta-Attenuation Mass (BAM) sampler draws ambient air through a section of filter tape. The filter tape passes between a beta ray source and a beta ray detector. As the particulate mass on the filter increases, the number of beta ray particles transmitted through the filter decreases.
So the detector measures the number of beta particles transmitted through the exposed filter tape, and then the instrument calculates the particulate mass using a correlation equation. The analyzer reports 1-hour data, which are then used to calculate daily 24-hour averages (midnight to midnight), for comparison to the ambient air quality standard.

- Aids in designing and siting monitoring networks.
PM2.5 is composed of a mixture of primary and secondary particles, both having long lifetimes in the atmosphere (days to weeks),
traveling long distances (hundreds to thousands of kilometers) and hence, not easily traced back to their individual sources. Primary particles include soil-related particles such as road dust, construction and agriculture and combustion-related particles. Combustion-related particles come from a variety of sources such as diesel and gasoline vehicles, open burning operations, and utility and commercial boilers. The principle types of secondary aerosols are organics, sulfates and nitrates. Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia (ammonium sulfate, ammonium bisulfate, ammonium nitrate) are important precursors to secondary particles.

Air Toxics Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), commonly Data from the Lancaster site for 2004 has been referred to as air toxics, are pollutants known to summarized in Appendix A, Table A-24. There are cause or are suspected of causing cancer or other no federal or state ambient air quality standards for serious human health effects or ecosystem mercury.
damage. Some air toxics are released from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires. For more information on PAs Air Toxics monitoring, Most air toxics originate from mobile sources (cars, visit us through the Departments website at trucks, buses) and stationary sources (factories, http://www.depweb.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword:
refineries, power plants). Examples of some of the toxics).
188 toxic air pollutants include heavy metals such as mercury and chromium; benzene, found in gasoline; perchloroethylene, emitted from some dry cleaning facilities; and methylene chloride, used as a solvent and paint stripper by a number of industries.
DEP performs ambient air monitoring of several air toxics at a Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Station (PAMS) site in Arendtsville, Adams County.
This site studies the transport of ozone precursors from urban to rural areas. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) routinely measured include several VOC species considered to be air toxics, such as benzene, hexane, toluene, and styrene.
This station was not sited to represent the highest concentrations over a wide area, but it can be useful to study trends in ambient air toxics transported over long distances. DEP operates the Arendtsville site from June to October. Figure 2-33 on the following page displays the average concentration trend of selected air toxics from 1996 until 2004. Units in Figure 2-33 are expressed in parts per billion Carbon (ppbC).
The 2004 data from the Arendtsville site has been summarized in Appendix A, Table A-23. There are no federal or state air quality standards for the monitored compounds.
DEP performs air toxics monitoring for mercury at a site near Lancaster. This site is designed to comply with EPA's expanded national toxic monitoring program. Data supplied from this monitoring site, and the expanded national network, will assist in rulemaking and model validation. EPA will use these computer models to estimate lifetime chemical exposures and subsequent health-effect risks.

CHAPTER 3 - Air Quality Index Formerly, a Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was published daily for monitoring sites in Pennsylvania. The PSI was a national uniform method for reporting air quality that incorporates recorded levels of five common air contaminants: carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), suspended particulate matter 10 microns or less in size (PM10), ozone, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
The PSI used a segmented linear function to convert concentration levels of these pollutants into normalized numbers based on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the various episode levels, and the significant harm levels for each pollutant.
On Oct. 4, 1999, EPA revised the PSI to update health messages for carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. It reflects updated health information considered in the EPA proposal to revise the air quality standards for ground-level ozone (smog) and particulate matter. The revised index will ensure consistency between current science on the health effects of all of these air pollutants and the reporting of this air quality and health information to the public. The new index is called the Air Quality Index (AQI).
The AQI adds an additional air quality category to the former PSI categories just above the level of the standard.
The AQI index establishes a category from 101 -150 characterized as "unhealthy for sensitive groups" and a category of 151 - 200 as "unhealthy. The AQI includes modifications to the ozone sub-index (an 8-hour sub-index) and a new sub-index for fine particulate matter. These changes to the AQI are based on health effects information from the review of the ozone and particulate matter standards.
The AQI has been adopted by DEP and is published on DEPs web site with hourly updates (DEP Keyword: Air Quality Index, Air Index). The breakpoints for the AQI in terms of pollutant concentrations are shown in Table 3-1.

Agencies are generally required to report the AQI based on 8-hour ozone values. However, there are a small number of areas where an AQI based on 1-hour ozone values would be more precautionary. In these cases, in addition to calculating the 8-hour ozone index value, the 1-hour ozone index value may be calculated and the maximum of the two values is reported.
2 NO2 has no short-term NAAQS and can generate an AQI only above a AQI value of 200.
3 When 8-hour Ozone concentrations exceed 0.374 ppm, AQI values of 301 or higher must be calculated with 1-hour concentrations.

CHAPTER 4 - Precision and Accuracy DEP conducts regularly scheduled performance Note that there are two different types of accuracy audits and precision checks on all air monitoring checks for lead: the normal flow check, which is equipment. Performance audits are conducted indicated by PB(F) and a quarterly analytical check, quarterly for the purpose of assessing data which is indicated by PB(A), on the legends of each accuracy on carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide graph. This analytical check is part of the EPA (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), total sponsored National Performance Audit Program suspended particulate (TSP), suspended particulate (NPAP) in which spiked lead strips are sent to state matter 10 microns or less in size (PM10), and lead laboratories to verify laboratory analysis accuracy.
(Pb) monitoring equipment. Precision checks are performed every two weeks on CO, SO2, NO2, and O3 and every sampling day (once every sixth day) for selected TSP, PM2.5, PM10, and lead.
Data obtained from the performance audits and precision checks are converted to 95 percent upper and lower probability limits using standard statistical methods.
For precision, only one probability level is calculated for each parameter. Acceptable 95 percent probability limits for precision are met when the instrument response is within 15 percent for all parameters. For continuous analyzers, every two weeks the equipment is challenged by a low level gas of known concentration; and for discrete particulate parameters (TSP, PM10, and lead), filters from pairs of collocated samplers that run on a one-in-six-day schedule are analyzed and compared.
This Precision Level data is shown in Figure 4-1.
For accuracy, acceptable 95 percent probability limits are met when the instrument response is within 20 percent for continuous gaseous parameters and within 15 percent for discrete particulate parameters (TSP, PM10 and lead).
Challenging the equipment quarterly with 3 known concentration levels of audit gas, which are shown as Accuracy Levels 1, 2, and 3 (Figure 4-1),
respectively, determines accuracy for continuous analyzers. For discrete particulate parameters (TSP, PM10, and lead), an annual audit of the flow rate determines accuracy. These data are shown on the Accuracy Level 2 graph (Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1 on the following page summarizes the 95 percent probability limits from all four quarterly reporting periods within the calendar year. The values presented were calculated from weighted arithmetic averages for each quarters probability limits.

- June 21, 1999 through December 31, 1999 There are no national or Pennsylvania Ambient Air Quality Standards Other Standards or guidelines:
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry of the U. S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (ATSDR)
Minimal Risk Level for Hazardous Substances, Inhalation Chronic 0.0002 mg/m3 (200 ng/m3) Neurol. Final 03/99 007439-97-6 EPA Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Reference Concentration: 0.0003 mg/m3 (300 ng/m3)
The risk to human health from direct exposure by inhalation to elemental mercury vapor in ambient air is believed to be well below any level of concern. Mercury deposited to surface waters is concentrated in the food chain and may reach levels in fish that are unsafe for consumption.
