Time-Integrated Measurements

• What have we learned about the PM air quality issues from time-integrated measurements?– Distribution of major PM composition varies regionally

• Sulfates greater in the east, nitrates greater in the west

• Organics show limited spatial variability

• Seasonal variations indicated more nitrates in the winter and more sulfate and organics in the summer

Page 31: A Review of Time Integrated PM2.5 Monitoring Data in the United States

Time-Integrated Measurements

• What sort of hypothesis testing is being supported by these measurements? – Provide long term time series of PM2.5 components

• Accountability for control strategies and health comes

– Fuel sulfur rule

– 2007 diesel emission standard

– NOx regulation

• PM nitrate/sulfate changes with reductions in SO2

– Process related production of PM components

Time-Integrated Measurements

• What are the advantages of time-integrated measurements?– Provide long term PM speciation data with modest field technician

support and modest overall cost (compared to alternatives)

– Centralized laboratory analyses and QA/QC procedures improves data quality

Time-Integrated Measurements• What are the most serious issues by way of

representing what is actually in the air?– Carbon blank issues and VOC adsorption

– MDL for metals

– Time resolution

– Loss of volatile PM (nitrates and organics)

Page 34: A Review of Time Integrated PM2.5 Monitoring Data in the United States

Time-Integrated Measurements• Which issues confound our ability to test

hypotheses, to explain PM concentrations? – Water and volatility of nitrates and SOA

• Are critical variables missing that are needed for the support of hypothesis testing/interpretation of mass and species composition measurements?– MDL for critical trace elements will limit source apportionment

applications

– EC blanks corrections and MDL will likely limit tracking EC perturbations resulting from diesel emission controls

Time-Integrated Measurements• Are the issues/problems intractable in the near

term?– ICP/MS analysis techniques can provide improved

MDLs for trace metals (as compared to XRF)

• How is confidence in the values created in lieu of standards?– Instrument laboratory and field intercomparisons
