| Abstract |
This report documents the quality assurance activities that were undertaken for the SLAMS PM2.5 environmental data operations for the calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001 which are the first three years of implementation of the PM2.5 monitoring program. The QA Report evaluates the adherence to the quality assurance requirements described in '40 CFR 58 App. A' and evaluates the data quality indicators of precision, accuracy, bias, and completeness. |

This report documents the quality assurance activities that were undertaken for the SLAMS PM2.5 environmental data operations for the calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001 which are the first three years of implementation of the PM2.5 monitoring program. The QA Report evaluates the adherence to the quality assurance requirements described in 40 CFR 58 App. A and evaluates the data quality indicators of precision, accuracy, bias, and completeness. The criteria pollutant defined as particulate matter is a general term used to describe a broad class of substances that exist as liquid or solid particles over a wide range of sizes. As part of the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program, EPA measures two particle size fractions: those less than or equal to [a nominal] 10 micrometers, and those less than or equal to [a nominal] 2.5 micrometers, hereafter referred to as PM10 or PM2.5 respectively. In general, the measurement units of micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m3), of particulates less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers ([mu]m) that have been collected on a 46.2mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter. For the State and Local Air Monitoring Network (SLAMS), the primary goal is to compare the PM2.5 concentrations to the annual and 24-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards for PM2.5 are 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m3) annual arithmetic mean concentration and 65 [mu]g/m3 24-hour average concentration measured in ambient air. A description of the NAAQS and its calculation can be found in the July 18,1997 Federal Register Notice. A quality system for the PM2.5 program was developed in order to achieve the data quality objectives (DQOs) that were developed for this program. In order to meet these DQOs, measurement quality objectives were developed for the data quality indicators of precision, bias, accuracy and completeness. The report identifies the data quality indicators and how the estimates of these indicators were derived, evaluates the results, and provides conclusions recommendations for future improvements. |
