7
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 7 Why Do We Monitor Ambient Air? Protect the public from elevated levels of air pollution. Identify and quantify what pollutants types are out there. To compare Albuquerque air quality to the National and State Standards. Preserve GOOD air quality.

June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 8 What Do We Monitor In Ambient Air? Oxides of Nitrogen Carbon Monoxide Ozone Particulate Matter (PM 2.5, PM 10-2.5, PM10 ) Elemental and Organic Carbon Hazardous Air Pollutants PM2.5 Speciation Pollen Speciation Meteorological Conditions

19
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 19 Hazardous Air Pollutants Sampling TO-11A – DNPH – Carbonyls HAPs TO-13A - PUF – Semi-Volatiles HAPs TO-15 – Canister – Volatiles HAPs Metals – Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry - Metal HAPs
20
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 20 Vertical Profiling 3 tethersondes (continuous measurements of WS, WD, T, Relative Humidity, Barometric Pressure), 3 tethered O 3 (Ozonesondes) (continuous measurements of ozone), a Nephelometer (TSI, Model 8520), ppb RAE plus (total VOCs measurements), & a tethered NO x sonde (NOx measurements).
21
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 21 Receptor Modeling DRI will use US EPA’s Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to conduct a source apportionment study of particulate matter, aerosol characterization, and carbon analyses. DRI will use US EPA approved air transport and regional models to determine inter and intra-valley wind flow patterns.
22
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 22 Exposure and Risk Evaluation Use US EPA’s HAPEM5 model to estimate personal exposure. Use the US Census’ Bureau for population demographics. Use US EPA’s TRIM.expo module will be used to assess inhalation risks. Other risk assessment tools will be used to assess the risk of long-term exposure to HAPs.
23
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 23 Exposure and Risk Evaluation Use US EPA’s TRIM.Risk module will be used to join the information on exposure with a dose-response module. Use of these tools will provide a first-order estimate of inhalation cancer risks and non-cancer hazard indices at both the individual and population level.
24
June 12 &13, 2007 Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Workshop II Houston, Texas 24 Project Status US EPA approved The Air Quality Division’s Quality Assurance Project Plan Executed Inter-Governmental Cooperative Agreements with State of New Mexico and University of Nevada (DRI). In final approval stage.
