The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) protects the right to clean air for all Pennsylvanians as provided in Article I Section 27 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
DEP's Bureau of Air Quality fulfills this obligation by regulating emissions from thousands of air contamination sources locat ed at facilities such as factories, refineries, landfills, and power plants.
Monitoring air quality statewide, assisting companies with compliance, requiring the installation of monitoring equipment, investigating complaints, and taking enforcement action against violators are all part of DEP's powers and duties. As DEP continues to implement the federal Clean Air Act as Amended in 1990, the study of past and present air quality data will be a crucial component of program planning and air pollution reduction strategies. The data will allow the Department to develop a comprehensive st rategy to prevent the emission of certain air contaminants.
Ambient Air Monitoring The goals of Pennsylvania's ambient air monitoring program are to evaluate compliance with federal and state ambient air quality standards, provide real-time monitoring of air pollution episodes, develop data for trend analysis, support the development and implementation of air quality regulations, and provide information to the public on daily air quality conditions. DEP monitors air quality in areas having high population density, high levels of expected contaminants, or a combinat ion of both factors. The majority of the monitoring takes place in the 13 air basins of the Commonwealth. Air basins are geographic areas, usually valleys, where air tends to stagnate. DEP does not generally monitor air quality in Allegheny and Philadelphia counties. Monitoring in these areas is performed by independent county health agencies. An exception exists in Allegheny County, where DEP has an ambient air monitoring site as part of an exhibit at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.
Air Quality Index An Air Quality Index (AQI) is published daily for all sites in Pennsylvania as a means of reporting air quality to the general public. The AQI reports levels of five common air contaminants -- carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM 10), particulate matter (PM 2.5), ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. It was developed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to standardize air pollution ratings. Real time monitoring and current AQI information is also available on DEP's website at http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/(DEP Keyword: Air Quality Index, Air Index).
Quality Assurance Program DEP's Bureau of Air Quality conducts regularly scheduled performance audits and precision checks on the air monitoring equipment. Quarterly performance audits are conducted to assess data accuracy on carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, total suspended particulate matter (TSP), PM 10 suspended particulate matter, PM
2.5 suspended
particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide, and lead monitoring systems.
Overview of Air Quality Data Data collected by DEP can generally be divided into two groups: particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. DEP monitors health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) as well as several Pennsylvania ambient air quality standards for contaminants such as beryllium and hydrogen sulfide. Total Suspended Particulate and PM 10 and PM 2.5 Suspended Particulate Matter Particulate matter is the solid or liquid matter formed by smoke, dust, fly ash, or condensing vapors that can be suspended in the air for long periods of time. Particulate emissions result primarily from industrial processes and fuel 2 combustion. The smaller particles can be breathed deeply into the lungs where they can aggravate or cause respiratory ailments or carry other pollutants into the lungs. The federal ambient air quality standard for particulate matter was revised to reflect the adverse health effects of particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM 10). PM 10 measurements have replaced the total suspended particulate (TSP) standard because many of the larger particles measured in TSP do not penetrate the lungs and
have little health effect. PM 10 measurements appear to represent all of the particulate emissions from transportation sources and most of the emissions in the other traditional categories. Thus, there is no federal or state air quality standard for TSP. In July 1997, EPA revised the sta ndard for particulate matter by adding a standard for fine particulates that are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM 2.5). Although legal challenges to the PM
2.5 standard
had initially left it unenforceable, a March 26, 2002 appellate court decision rejected all challenges and EPA has developed guidance to implement the new standard. The annual mean composite of all areas of the Commonwealth has demonstrated a 38 percent improvement in TSP levels over the last 10 years. There were no sites in the Commonwealth that exceeded the former annual or 24-hour air quality standard in 2004.
Average PM 10 levels have improved 25 percent over the last 10 years. There were no sites in the Commonwealth that exceeded the ambient air quality standards in 2004. With only six complete years of PM 2.5 data collected, no trend information is available. Six of the Federal Reference Method (FRM) monitoring sites exceeded the annual air quality standard, and none of the FRM sites exceeded the 24-hour air quality standard in 2004.
Sulfates The atmosphere contains two types of sulfates:
primary and secondary. Primary sulfates are emitted directly into the atmosphere from industrial processes. Secondary sulfates are formed in the atmosphere from other sulfur-containing compounds under mechanisms that involve photochemical processes.
Studies have shown significant correlation between high sulfate levels and illness. Sulfates also reduce visibility and contribute to acid rain. The high level of sulfates during the summer is due to sulfate formation in sunlight. Sulfates continue to be a problem in Pennsylvania. There are currently no long- or short-term air quality standards for sulfates.
Lead Lead is a metal that is highly toxic when ingested or inhaled. It is a suspected carcinogen of the lungs and kidneys and has adverse effects on cardiovascular, nervous and renal systems. Lead is emitted into the atmosphere by industrial processes. Lead levels in the Commonwealth have met the federal standards for at least the past 10 years.
Since lead was removed from gasoline, relatively few improvements now are seen in air basins that have no lead industrial sources. Nitrates Nitrates are particulate compounds that form in the atmosphere from the oxidation of nitrogen gases emitted from fuel combustion sources. They represent a significant portion of the finer particulate that can be inhaled into the lungs and which affect
visibility. Levels of nitrates are relatively constant across the Commonwealth. There are no long- or short-term air quality standards for nitrates. Sulfur Dioxide Sulfur dioxide is a gaseous pollutant that is emitted primarily by industrial furnaces or power plants burning coal or oil containing sulfur. Health problems caused by high exposures to sulfur dioxide include impairment of breathing and respiratory illnesses. Sulfur dioxide damages trees, plants and agricultural crops and is a precursor to acid rain. All sites met the air quality standards for sulfur dioxide. In general, sulfur dioxide levels have improved slightly or remained the same over the last 10-year period. The 2004 averages continue to be below 50 percent of the annual ambient air quality standard. Ground-Level Ozone Ground-Level Ozone, or photochemical smog, is not emitted into the atmosphere as ozone, but 3 rather is formed by reactions of other pollutants. The primary pollutants entering into this reaction --
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (NO x) -- create ozone in the presence of sunlight. Ozone is a strong irritant to the eyes and upper respiratory system and also damages crops. Ground-Level Ozone levels fluctuate depending on weather conditions. Ozone levels are consistently higher during the summer months, with the ozone monitoring season (April 1 to Oct. 31). Since 1995, daily maximum 1-hour ozone levels have improved so that the majority of counties in Pennsylvania are meeting the air quality standard. The improvements that are seen in ozone concentrations can be attributed in part to controls on VOCs and gasoline volatility. Ozone concentrations (using all monitors in Pennsylvania) did not exceed the 1-hour daily air quality standard in 2004, but the 8-hour daily maximum level of 84 parts per billion (ppb) was exceeded on 14 days during 2004. Oxides of Nitrogen Oxides of nitrogen (NO x) are a class of pollutants formed when fuel is burned at a very high temperature. They are predominately emitted from vehicles. Although there is no air quality standard
for NO x, the level of this pollutant is of concern due to its role in the formation of ground-level ozone and acid rain. Nitrogen Dioxide Nitrogen dioxide is a highly toxic, reddish brown gas that is created primarily from fuel combustion in industrial sources and vehicles. It creates an odorous haze that causes eye and sinus irritation, blocks natural sunlight and reduces visibility. It can severely irritate respiratory illnesses. Nitrogen dioxide contributes to the creation of acid rain and adversely impacts forests and other ecosystems. No sites in Pennsylvania exceeded the annual air quality standard for nitrogen dioxide in 2004.
Nitrogen dioxide levels have improved 19 percent on average over the last 10 years. Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that, when introduced into the bloodstream, inhibits the delivery of oxygen to body tissue. Exposure creates a severe health risk to individuals with cardiovascular disease. The largest man-made source of carbon monoxide is motor vehicle emissions. This pollutant is a health concern in areas of high traffic density or near industrial sources. All DEP sites in the Commonwealth have met the federal air quality standards for carbon monoxide for at least the last 10 years. Carbon monoxide levels have seen a long-term improvement of 57 percent from levels in 1995.

Acid Rain The DEP, under cooperative agreement with the Pennsylvania State University, has maintained the Pennsylvania Atmospheric Deposition Monitoring Network (PADMN) since 1981. The purpose of this program is to determine how much acid rain is falling in Pennsylvania for environmental assessment purposes. Parameters monitored include pH, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and specific conductance. Starting in 1997, measurements of the amount of mercury in rain were made as part of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program - Mercury Deposition Network (NADP - MDN). Eighteen acid rain monitoring sites are currently in operation in Pennsylvania. Included in this network are nine acid rain and six mercury monitoring sites supported by the DEP. The remaining sites are supported by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) and various other agencies.

5 INTRODUCTION The goals of the ambient air monitoring program in Pennsylvania are to determine compliance with federal and state ambient air quality standards, provide real-time monitoring of air pollution episodes, provide data for trend analysis, evaluate regulations and planning, and provide public information daily on air quality. Three agencies conduct air quality monitoring to evaluate compliance with air quality standards in Pennsylvania: DEP, the Allegheny County Health Department, and the Philadelphia Department of Health Air Management Services. This report contains summaries of the air quality data collected by DEP's Bureau of Air Quality during the 2004 calendar year. Data from Philadelphia or Allegheny counties can be obtained by contacting those agencies directly. Mailing addresses and telephone numbers for all three agencies are listed in Appendix B. The monitoring strategy of DEP places monitors in areas having high population density and/or high levels of contaminants. The majority of all monitoring efforts take place in the "air basins" of the Commonwealth. These "air basins" are defined in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1 and consist of the following geographical areas: Allegheny County Air Basin Allentown - Bethlehem - Easton Air Basin Erie Air Basin Harrisburg Air Basin Johnstown Air Basin Lancaster Air Basin Lower Beaver Valley Air Basin Monongahela Valley Air Basin Reading Air Basin Scranton, Wilkes-Barre Air Basin Southeast Pennsylvania Air Basin Upper Beaver Valley Air Basin York Air Basin Air monitoring surveillance is conducted in the 13 air basins. The Allegheny County Health Department conducts the ma jority of the air quality monitoring in the Allegheny County Air Basin. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Air Management Services, which is located in the Southeast Pennsylvania Air Basin, conducts air monitoring only for the Philadelphia County portion of the air basin. In addition to the aforementioned 13 air basins, DEP conducts surveillance in three non-air basin areas: Altoona, Montoursville, and Farrell. DEP also performs monitoring in Allegheny County at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh as part of an air quality exhibit. DEP operates two air monitoring networks in the Commonwealth: the Pennsylvania Air Quality Surveillance System (PAQSS) for high volume particulate sampling and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Air Monitoring System (COPAMS) for continuous pollutant sampling. In July 1997, EPA revised the primary standard for particulate matter by adding standards for fine particulates (particulates less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter - PM 2.5). The increased resources needed to implement and operate the PM
2.5 monitors
resulted in significant cuts to the PAQSS network. The remaining sites were chosen to support needed lead monitoring. The discrete total suspended particulate network consists of eight monitoring sites. Each site sampled total suspended particulate matter (TSP) on a schedule of once every six days. Selected filters are also analyzed for sulfates, nitrates, and lead. In addition, discrete sampling is also conducted at four sites for suspended particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size (PM
- 10) in 2004. No additional analysis is performed on the PM 10 sample filters. The 2004 PM 2.5 monitoring network consists of 24 discrete PM 2.5 sites along with 10 continuous PM
2.5 monitoring
sites. The COPAMS network is a totally automatic, microprocessor-controlled system that consists of 51 remote stations throughout the Commonwealth. Dial-up telephone lines used by a central computer system collect the raw data from these remote stations every hour. Each station measures selected parameters such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, continuous PM 10 , continuous PM 2.5, wind speed, wind direction (vector averaged and sigma theta), ambient temperature, and solar radiation. The sampling locations for DEP's air monitoring sites and the pollutants monitored at each site are listed in Appendix C.
6 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
University's (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.
7 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. Table 1-1. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
Primary (Health Related) Secondary (Welfare Related)
Pollutant Type of Average Standard Level Concentration Type of Average Standard Level Concentration Carbon Monoxide 8-hour Running (not to be exceeded more than once per year) 9 ppm No Secondary Standard 1-hour (not to be exceeded more than once per year) 35 ppm No Secondary Standard Lead Maximum Quarterly Average 1.5 g/m 3 Same as Primary Standard Nitrogen Dioxide Annual Arithmetic Mean 0.053 ppm Same as Primary Standard Ozone Maximum Daily 1-Hour Average (only applies in areas that have not attained the standard) 0.12 ppm Same as Primary Standard Fourth-Highest Daily Maximum 8-hour Running Mean (based on 3- year average) 0.08 ppm Same as Primary Standard Particulate Matter Annual Arithmetic Mean (based on 3-year average) 50 g/m 3 Same as Primary Standard PM 10 24-hour (not to be exceeded more than once per year) 150 g/m 3 Same as Primary Standard Particulate Matter Annual Arithmetic Mean (based on 3- year average) 15 g/m 3 Same as Primary Standard PM 2.5 24-hour (based on 3 year average of 98th percentile) 65 g/m 3 Same as Primary Standard Sulfur Dioxide Annual Arithmetic Mean 0.03 ppm 3-hour (block average) (not to be exceeded more than once per year) 0.50 ppm 24-hour (daily mean) (not to be exceeded more than once per year) 0.14 ppm 8 Table 1-2.

The TSP monitoring sites that remain were chosen for other needs, such as lead monitoring. Total suspended particulates (TSP) are the solid or liquid matter in air. Particles vary in size and may remain suspended in the air from a few seconds to several months. Sources of particulate emissions include coal-burning power plants, industrial processes, mining operations, municipal waste incinerators and fuel combustion. They also are produced by natural sources such as forest fires and volcanoes. The smaller particles are breathed deeply into the lungs, where they can aggravate or cause respiratory ailments. These smaller particles can also carry other pollutants into the lungs. The federal ambient air quality standard for particulate matter was revised to reflect the adverse health effects of smaller particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM 10). There is no federal or state air quality standard for TSP.
Figure 2-1. Trend in annual geometric mean TSP concentrations, 1995-2004.
Figure 2-1 shows a decrease in annual geometric mean TSP concentrations. In 1995, the statewide average concentration was 41 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3) and in 2004 the statewide average concentration was 26 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3), representing a statewide decrease of 37% for this period. The solid line represents the former annual primary air quality standard of 75 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3). The 2004 calendar year TSP summary is contained in Appendix A, Table A-1. There were no sites in the Commonwealth that exceeded the former annual or 24-hour primary air quality standards in 2004. For comparison to the PM 10 annual air quality standard, the TSP annual arithmetic mean was calculated by averaging the four quarterly arithmetic means. Figure 2-2, located on the following page, shows the TSP trends over the last 10 years in various areas of the Commonwealth where monitoring remains. The graphs of the air basin's annual geometric means consist of all stations that were operated during that year and which had at least 30 samples taken. Thus, stations that were moved or discontinued in the past are still included in the 10-year trend. The solid line represents the former annual primary air quality standard of 75 g/m 3. The historical data illustrated in Figure 2-2 are contained in Appendix A, Table A-2. This table lists the annual geometric means over the last 10 years for each site monitored in 2004. The annual mean is shown if at least 30 samples were collected that year.

As a result, the number of sites with filter analysis for sulfates and nitrates was also reduced.
Sulfate particulate matter in the atmosphere is composed of two types: primary and secondary. Primary sulfates are emitted directly into the atmosphere from industrial processes. Secondary sulfates are formed in the atmosphere from other sulfur-containing compounds under mechanisms that involve photochemical processes. Studies have shown a significant correlation between high sulfate levels and increased absences from work and school because of illness. Sulfates are also of interest due to their effects of reducing visibility and contributing to acid rain. Pennsylvania's ambient air quality sulfate standard was repealed since it was more stringent than federal regulations. There are no short- or long-term air quality standards for sulfates. However, elevated sulfate values, consistent with previous years, continue to be recorded statewide.
The 2004 sulfate summary is contained in Appendix A, Table A-3. The large number of high sulfate levels during the summer is caused by the relationship between sulfate formation and photochemical processes. The maximum values will occur at the majority of sites from May to September. Nitrates are particulate compounds that are usually formed in the atmosphere from the oxidation of oxides of nitrogen gases. They are of interest since they represent a significant portion of the finer particulates which can be inhaled into the lungs and which have a great impact on visibility. Nitrates are also being studied to determine their impact on acid precipitation. Appendix A, Table A-4 summarizes nitrate data collected during 2004. As seen from the annual means, the levels of nitrates in the Commonwealth are relatively constant from area to area. There are no long-term or short-term air quality standards for nitrates.

13 Lead Lead is a highly toxic metal when ingested or inhaled. It is a suspected carcinogen of the lungs and kidneys and has adverse effects on the cardiovascular, nervous, and renal systems. Lead is emitted to the atmosphere by vehicles burning leaded fuel and from certain industrial processes, primarily battery manufacturers and lead smelters. As a result of the reduction in lead in gasoline, metal processing is the major source of lead emissions. Lead concentrations for 1995 to 2004 are represented in Figure 2-3 by the maximum quarterly mean during the year for all DEP monitors across the state. After dramatic reductions seen in the late 1970s to early 1980s due to the implementation of lead-free gasoline, lead concentrations have leveled off. Figure 2-3 indicates that the maximum quarterly lead concentrations have remained fairly constant and well below the air quality standard over the past 10 years even though source-oriented sites dominate the data. The solid line represents the quarterly mean air quality standard of 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3). Figure 2-3.
Trend in maximum quarterly average lead concentrations (including source-oriented sites), 1995-2004.
Lead trends for the individual areas in the state are shown in Figure 2-4, located on the following page, for 1995 to 2004. The particulate lead standard was not exceeded at any monitoring site in 2004, including source-oriented sites. Quarterly averages for all stations that monitored lead in 2004 are shown in Appendix A, Table A-5, along with the number of samples taken in each quarter, the annual arithmetic mean, and the total number of samples for the year. Lead historical trend data is presented in Appendix A, Table A-6 for 1995 to 2004. The table contains the maximum quarterly mean for each year. Trend data is shown for all sites that operated in 2004. The quarterly mean is shown if at least 30 samples were collected during the year. No current monitoring site has exceeded the air quality standard for at least the last 10 years. Higher lead levels recorded at sites located in Laureldale (Reading Air basin) and Lyons are due to the influence of lead point sources close to the monitoring sites, although these sites are well below the air quality standard.

Particulate matter in air with aerodynamic diameters less than 10 micrometers is PM 10. PM10 has replaced the total suspended particulate (TSP) standards because many of the larger particles included in the TSP measurement (up to 45 micrometers) do not penetrate into the lungs and have very little effect on health. Consequently, the PM 10 measurement is believed to be a better indicator of actual health risks.
PM 10 appears to represent essentially all of the particulate emissions from transportation sources and most of the emissions in the other traditional
categories (coal-burning power plants, steel mills, mining operations, etc). The standard for PM 10 was adopted in July 1987. On July 18, 1997, EPA revised the particulate matter standards by adding new standards for PM 2.5 (particles less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers).
The PM 10 concentrations are measured using both discrete (single sample) monitors that collect particulate matter on a filter for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and continuous real-time instruments. The continuous TEOM monitor is a gravimetric instrument that draws ambient air through a filter, constantly weighing the filter and calculating real-time PM 10 concentrations. 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.
Figure 2-5. Trend in annual mean PM 10 concentration, 1995-2004.
Figure 2-5 is a graph of the historical statewide PM 10 trend from 1995 to 2004. Because of an EPA policy change, data prior to 1988-99 is reported in units corrected to standard conditions while data since 1998-99 is corrected to local conditions. In 1995, the statewide average concentration was 27 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3) and in 2004 the statewide average concentration was 20 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3), representing a statewide decrease of 26% for this period. The map in Figure 2-6 shows the range of PM 10 annual mean levels in the different counties across the Commonwealth where monitoring is performed.
When there are multiple sites in the county, the annual mean is the highest reading of these sites. Only sites that have monitored 50 percent of the time during 2004 are included in this figure. All counties monitored by DEP are in attainment of the annual PM 10 NAAQS. The map in Figure 2-7 displays the highest second maximum 24-hour
PM 10 by county in 2004. All counties monitored by DEP are in attainment of the 24-hour PM 10 standard.
PM 10 trends for the individual areas of the state are shown in Figure 2-8 for 1995 to 2004. The air basin or area averages consist of all stations that were operated during that year and had at least 30 discrete samples or 50 percent valid continuous data. PM 10 levels have remained fairly constant over this period with an average 7 percent decrease in levels over the last five years. The apparent dramatic improvement shown in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre air basin for 1999 may be due to the lack of sampling data and should not be viewed as representative of the particulate levels. The solid line represents the annual air quality standard of 50 micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m 3). The 2004 PM 10 data summary appears in Appendix A, Table A-7. Historical trend data for each site monitored in 2004 is shown in Appendix A, Table A-
- 8. This table lists the annual arithmetic means and second maximum 24-hour mean over the last 10 years for each site that monitored in 2004 with at least 50 percent data completeness.

23 PM 2.5 Suspended Particulate Matter Particulate matter (PM) is the general term used for a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. These particles, which come in a wide range of sizes, may be emitted directly by a source or formed in the atmosphere. Fine particles are those that are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM 2.5). Fine particles can accumulate in the respiratory system and are associated with numerous adverse health effects including decreased lung function and increased respiratory symptoms and disease. Sensitive groups that appear to be at greatest risk include the elderly, individuals with cardiopulmonary disease such as asthma, and children. Particulate matter also can cause adverse impacts to the environment. PM 2.5 is the major cause of reduced visibility in parts of the United States. Other environmental impacts occur when particles deposit onto soil, plants, water, or man-made materials such as monuments or statues. The PM 2.5 concentrations are measured using both discrete (single sample) monitors and continuous real-time instruments. The discrete monitors collect particulate matter on a filter for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The filter is then collected and shipped to the lab to be weighed. The continuous Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) monitor is a gravimetric instrument that draws ambient air through a filter, constantly weighing the filter and calculating real-time PM 2.5 concentrations. 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. 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. Nine of the DEP monitoring sites have both discrete manual and continuous samplers, but only the discrete PM2.5 sampler is approved by EPA as a Federal Reference Method (FRM) for compliance purposes. The map in Figure 2-9 shows the range of PM
2.5 annual
mean levels in the different counties across the Commonwealth where monitoring is performed. When there are multiple samplers in a county, the highest FRM monitor reading is used. Only sites that have monitored 50 percent of the time during 2004 are included in this figure. In 2004, six counties monitored by DEP exceeded the annual PM 2.5 standard. The map in Figure 2-10 displays the highest 98th percentile 24-hour PM2.5 mean by county. When there are multiple samplers in a county, the highest FRM monitor reading is used. In 2004,no counties monitored by DEP exceeded the 24-hour PM 2.5 standard. With only six complete years of data collected, no graphical trend analysis is available. Data collected in 2004 is summarized in Appendix A, Table A-9 for all FRM monitors and continuous monitors. Historical trend data for each site that was monitored in 2004 is shown in Appendix A, Table A-
- 10. Six of the FRM monitoring sites exceeded the annual air quality standard, and none of the FRM sites exceeded the 24-hour air quality standard in
2004.

29 Chemical Speciation of PM
2.5 Suspended
Particulate Matter Particulate matter (PM) is a general term used for a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets (also known as aerosols) found in the air. PM
2.5 refers
to particulate matter that is 2.5 micrometers or smaller in size. For reference, 2.5 micrometers is approximately 1/30 the size of a human hair.
Speciation is a physical or chemical analysis of the captured particles that provide a first order characterization of the metals, ions, and carbon constituents of PM
2.5. Physical
and chemical speciation data can be used to support several areas of study as: Inputs to air quality modeling analyses used to implement the
PM 2.5 standard; Indicators to track the progress of air pollution controls; Aids to interpret studies linking health effects to PM 2.5 constituents; Aids to understand the effects of atmospheric constituents on visibility impairment; and 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.
Knowing the chemical composition of the PM 2.5 mix is also important for determining sources of pollution. By developing seasonal and annual chemical characterizations of ambient particulates across the nation, this speciation data will be used to perform source attribution analyses, evaluate emission inventories and air quality models, and support health related research studies and regional haze assessments. Pennsylvania began operating a PM
2.5 speciation
network, consisting of 13 sampling sites, in April 2002. The pie charts on the following pages, Figures 2-11 to 2-17 show the major constituents, consisting of nitrates, sulfates, ammonium, organic carbon, elemental carbon and other trace elements.

37 Continuous Gaseous Sampling Sulfur Dioxide Sulfur dioxide is a gaseous pollutant that is emitted primarily by industrial furnaces or power plants burning coal containing sulfur or oil containing sulfur. The major health effects associated with high exposures to sulfur dioxide include effects on breathing and respiratory illness symptoms. The population most sensitive to sulfur dioxide includes asthmatics and individuals with chronic lung disease or cardiovascular disease. Sulfur dioxide damages trees, plants, and agricultural crops and acts as a precursor to acid rain. Finally, sulfur dioxide can accelerate the corrosion of natural and man-made materials that are used in buildings and monuments, as well as paper, iron-containing metals, zinc, and other protective coatings. The statewide composite average of sulfur dioxide annual mean concentration for 1995 to 2004 is shown in Figure 2-18. Sulfur dioxide levels have shown only a slight improvement over the last ten years and remain below 50 percent of the air quality standard.
Figure 2-18. Trend in annual mean SO 2 concentrations, 1995-2004
The map in Figure 2-19 displays the average sulfur dioxide annual mean by county in 2004. When there are multiple sites in the county, the annual mean is the highest reading of these sites. All counties in which monitoring was conducted met the air quality standard of 30 parts per billion (ppb). The map in Figure 2-20 displays the highest second maximum 24-hour (daily) average concentration by county in 2004. All areas of the Commonwealth met the 24-hour air quality standard of 140 ppb. Figure 2-21 displays the last 10-year trend (1995 to 2004) of the annual arithmetic mean in the 12 air basins and the Altoona, Montoursville, and Farrell sites. The solid line represents the annual air quality standard of 0.030 parts per million (ppm). Sulfur dioxide levels correlate significantly with ambient temperatures. As outside temperatures go down, indoor space heating requirements increase, resulting in additional burning of coal and oil. Sulfur dioxide data for all sites that operated in 2004 is summarized in Appendix A, Table A-11. All sites in the Commonwealth met the annual mean, 3-hour, and 24-hour ambient air quality standards. Sulfur dioxide historical data over the last 10 years is presented in Appendix A, Table A-12 for all stations that operated in 2004 with at least 50 percent valid data.

45 Ground-Level Ozone Ground-level ozone, or photochemical smog, is a secondary pollutant. It is not emitted directly to the atmosphere but rather is formed in the atmosphere by the reactions of other pollutants. Ground-level ozone forms during the summer months, when nitrogen oxides (NO x) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine and react in the presence of sunlight and warm temperatures. Nitrogen oxides come from burning fossil fuels at power plants, industrial boilers, and motor vehicles. VOCs are emitted from a variety of sources, including motor vehicles, chemical plants, refineries, and natural (biogenic) sources. Changing weather patterns contribute to yearly differences in ozone concentrations. Ozone and the precursor pollutants that cause ozone also can be transported into an area from pollution sources located hundreds of miles away. Ground-Level Ozone is a strong irritant to the eyes and upper respiratory system. It hampers breathing and also damages crops and man-made materials such as monuments and statues. In July 1997, EPA promulgated a new 8-hour primary ozone standard to protect against longer exposure periods that are of concern for both human health and environmental welfare. The 1-hour ozone standard stays in effect until an area has met the standard for three consecutive years. The secondary standard (welfare-based) was set identical to the 8-hour primary standard. The secondary standard highlights the concerns associated with effects on vegetation. As a way of focusing on this effect, DEP has contracted with Pennsylvania State University's Department of Plant Pathology to monitor ozone at five rural sites: Moshannon State Forest, Clearfield County; Tiadaghton, Lycoming County; the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Penn Nursery facility, Centre County; State College, Centre County; and a site between Mansfield and Williamsport, Tioga County. In addition to the established surveillance monitoring sites, DEP continued monitoring begun by the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO). The Holbrook site (Greene County) is primarily designed to study ozone transport in the Northeast. Since the 1-hour ozone standard still applies in areas that have not attained compliance with the standard, this report presents both 1- and 8-hour ozone data. The ozone- monitoring season in Pennsylvania begins each year on April 1 st and ends on October 31 st. Ambient ground-level ozone trends are erratic by nature. Changes in meteorological conditions, population growth, and changes in emissions (VOCs and NOx) influence ozone concentrations. Figure 2-22 shows the 1995-2004 statewide (DEP sites only) average second daily maximum 1-hour ozone concentrations. Weather conditions were not favorable for ozone formation in 2004. The solid line is at the primary 1-hour air quality standard of 125 parts per billion (ppb).
Figure 2-22. Trend in average second daily maximum 1-hour ozone concentrations, 1995-2004.
The map in Figure 2-23 presents the highest second daily maximum 1-hour ozone concentration by county in 2004. There were no exceedances of the 1-hour air quality standard in 2004. All ozone monitoring sites are included in the representation, with the exception of those monitors operated by Allegheny and Philadelphia counties. The map in Figure 2-24 presents the fourth highest daily maximum running 8-hour ozone concentration by county in 2004. All ozone monitoring sites are included in the representation, with the exception of those monitors operated by Allegheny and Philadelphia counties. For the 12 air basins and Altoona, Montoursville, and Farrell sites, Figure 2-25 shows the 10-year trend (1995 to 2004) of the average second daily maximum 1-hour ozone concentration during the ozone season for DEP monitoring sites. Figure 2-26 shows the 10-year trend (1995 to 2004) of the 3-OZONEAverage 2nd Maximum Daily 1-Hour 75 100 125 150 19952004 parts per billion 46 year average of the fourth highest daily 8-hour running ozone mean. All sites, with the exception of the Montoursville site, have been close to or exceeded the 8-hour standard of 0.08 parts per million (ppm). The solid line in both figures indicates the 1- or 8-hour standard level.
Montoursville has been the only area consistently below the ozone air quality standards. Appendix A, Table A-13a summarizes the 1-hour ozone data during the ozone season of 2004 for all monitoring sites. Appendix A, Table A-13b summarizes the 8-hour ozone data during the ozone season of 2004 for all monitoring sites. Appendix A, Table A-14 lists the days on which the 1-hour ozone air quality standard was exceeded in 2004 at all sites in Pennsylvania. Appendix A, Tables A-15 and A-16 summarize the 1-hour and 8-hour data over the last three years (2002 - 2004). These tables include monitoring sites operated by DEP, the Allegheny County Health Department, Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Air Management Services, and the Pennsylvania State University. Historical 1-hour data for ozone from 1995 to 2004 is contained in Appendix A, Table A-17 for all DEP sites that operated during the ozone monitoring season in 2004 with at least 50 percent valid data.
To demonstrate that the 1-hour ozone NAAQS is achieved and maintained, a site can have no more than three exceedances of the 0.12 parts per million (ppm) standard over the last three years. Only two sites, located in the Southeast Pennsylvania air basin, have more than three exceedances in the last three years.

- 2) is a highly toxic, reddish brown gas that is formed through the oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) emitted primarily from the combustion of fuels in stationary or transportation sources. It can cause an odorous, brown haze that irritates the eyes and nose, shuts out sunlight, and reduces visibility. NO 2 acts as a precursor to acidic precipitation and plays a key role in nitrogen loading of forests and ecosystems. NO 2 has been associated with acute effects in individuals diagnosed with respiratory disease.
Oxides of nitrogen (NO x) are a class of pollutants formed when fuel is burned at a very high temperature (above 1200 F), such as in automobiles and power plants. For air pollution purposes, it is composed primarily of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO
- 2) and other oxides of nitrogen. Although there is no air quality standard for NO x, it plays a major role in the formation of ground-level ozone in the atmosphere through a complex series of reactions with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Nitrogen oxides also contribute to deposition of nitrogen in soil and water through acid rain.
Figure 2-27. Trend in annual NO 2 concentrations, 1995-2004.
The trend in annual mean NO 2 concentrations statewide between 1995 and 2004 is shown in Figure 2-27. In 1995, the statewide average concentration was 17 parts per billion (ppb) and in 2004 the statewide average concentration was 13 parts per billion (ppb), representing a statewide decrease of 24% for this period. All areas of the Commonwealth continue to be well below the air quality annual standard of 53 parts per billion (ppb), which is indicated by the solid line in Figure 2-27. Figure 2-29 on the following page indicates the 10-year trend of nitrogen dioxide annual mean levels from 1995 to 2004 in 12 air basins and the Altoona non-air basin. Nitrogen dioxide levels have remained relatively constant over the last 10 years. All areas are at or below 50 percent of the annual air quality standard. Nitrogen dioxide data for 2004 is summarized in Appendix A, Table A-18. No site exceeded the annual primary air quality standard for nitrogen dioxide in Pennsylvania in 2004. Historical trend data for those sites that monitored nitrogen dioxide in 2004 is presented in Appendix A, Table A-19 for 1995 to 2004. Data is shown for those sites with at least 50 percent valid data. The annual arithmetic mean is shown so that a comparison to the air quality standard can be made for the individual sites.
Figure 2-28. Trend of nitrogen oxides annual means, 1995-2004.

Figure 2-28 represents the statewide trend of oxides of nitrogen by using the arithmetic mean from all monitoring sites over the last 10 years with at least 50 percent data capture. Since 1995, average NO X concentrations have declined by 26 percent.

By combining with the hemoglobin in the blood, CO inhibits the delivery of oxygen to the body's tissue, thereby causing asphyxia or shortness of breath. The health threat from carbon monoxide is most serious for those who suffer from cardiovascular disease. At much higher levels of exposure, healthy individuals are also affected. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of the incomplete burning of fuels. Industrial processes contribute to carbon monoxide pollution levels, but the principal source of carbon monoxide in most large urban areas is motor vehicle emissions. Peak carbon monoxide concentrations typically occur during the colder months of the year when automotive emissions are greater and nighttime inversion conditions are more frequent.
Figure 2-30. Trend in second maximum 8-hour average CO concentrations, 1995-2004.
Figure 2-30 shows the statewide average second maximum 8-hour carbon monoxide concentrations. In 1995, the statewide average concentration was 3.5 parts per million (ppm) and in 2004 the statewide average concentration was 1.5 parts per million (ppm), representing a statewide decrease of 57% for this period. The carbon monoxide improvement occurred across all spatial scales -
downtown central business district (CBD), rural, and suburban. Figure 2-31 shows that, historically, CBD sites recorded higher carbon monoxide concentrations on average than other monitoring site locations. But this year, the average carbon monoxide concentrations are equal for both types of sites. The solid line at 9 parts per million in Figures 2-30 and 2-31 indicates the 8-hour running mean air quality standard.

The carbon monoxide 10-year historical trend for different areas of the state are shown in Figure 2-32 on the following page, using the highest second maximum 8-hour non-overlapping running average. The solid lines on the graphs represent the 8-hour ambient air quality standard. Carbon monoxide data for 2004 has been summarized in Appendix A, Table A-21. There were no exceedances of the 1- or 8-hour air quality standards observed in 2004. Historical trend data for 1995 to 2004 for carbon monoxide is shown in Appendix A, Table A-22 for all air monitoring sites that operated in 2004 with at least 50 percent valid data.

Some air toxics are released from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires. Most air toxics originate from mobile sources (cars, trucks, buses) and stationary sources (factories, refineries, power plants). Examples of some of the 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.
Data from the Lancaster site for 2004 has been summarized in Appendix A, Table A-24. There are no federal or state ambient air quality standards for mercury.

61 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 (SO 2), suspended particulate matter 10 microns or less in size (PM 10), ozone, and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2). 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 DEP's 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.

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.

63 CHAPTER 4 - Precision and Accuracy DEP conducts regularly scheduled performance audits and precision checks on all air monitoring equipment. Performance audits are conducted quarterly for the purpose of assessing data accuracy on carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), ozone (O 3), total suspended particulate (TSP), suspended particulate matter 10 microns or less in size (PM 10), and lead (Pb) monitoring equipment. Precision checks are performed every two weeks on CO, SO 2 , NO 2 , and O 3 and every sampling day (once every sixth day) for selected TSP, PM2.5, PM 10, 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, PM 10 , 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, PM 10 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, PM 10, 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 quarter's probability limits. Note that there are two different types of accuracy checks for lead: the normal flow check, which is indicated by PB(F) and a quarterly analytical check, which is indicated by PB(A), on the legends of each graph. This analytical check is part of the EPA sponsored National Performance Audit Program (NPAP) in which spiked lead strips are sent to state laboratories to verify laboratory analysis accuracy.
