Air Quality, Monitoring, and Health June 27, 2017 Smoke Management - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Air Quality Air Quality, Monitoring, and Health June 27, 2017 Smoke Management Review Committee Meeting David Collier | Oregon Department of Environmental Quality

Why is smoke a concern? Air pollutants • Particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) • Air toxics (benzene, PAH) Key air quality components of smoke 2

PM 2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) overview • 24-hour PM2.5 standard: 35 ug/m3 – Annual PM2.5 standard: 12 ug/m3 • How compliance with standard is calculated – 24-hour standard is based on 3-year average • Limitations of NAAQS

Monitoring & Bscat • DEQ has a network of PM2.5 monitors – Federal reference monitors – used to determine compliance • Captures particulates on a filter, must be analyzed by a Lab • Measurements are provided in ug/m 3 – Nephelometers – can provide real- time hourly data • Measurements are provided in Bscat (beta scattering)

Air Quality Index (AQI) & NAAQS • AQI is index for reporting daily air quality Air Quality Rating Air Quality Index PM 2.5 1-hour PM 2.5 24-hour average (ug/m 3 ) average (ug/m 3 ) GOOD 0-50 0.0 – 40.4 0.0 – 12.0 MODERATE 51-100 40.5 – 80.4 12.1 – 35.4 UNHEALTHY FOR 101-150 80.5 – 175.4 35.5 – 55.4 SENSITIVE GROUPS UNHEALTHY 151-200 175.5 – 300.4 55.5 – 150.4 VERY UNHEALTHY 201-300 300.5 – 500.4 150.5 – 250.4 HAZARDOUS >300 >500.5 >250.5 7

Health concerns • Vulnerable populations – Elderly, children – Includes people who work outside • How do we limit exposure to communities
