     This technical report presents the results of research conducted
as Work Assignment 2 under EPA Task Ordering Agreement,  Contract Number
68-02-2835.  The purposes of the research were to provide an assessment
of 1-hour averaged nitrogen dioxide (N0~) concentrations across the
nation, and to describe prospects for control of nitrogen oxide (NO )
                                                                   X
emissions and the possible impact of such control on efforts to achieve
the short-term oxidant standard.  The information in this report is
intended as input to analyses related to the short-term nitrogen dioxide
standard presently under consideration by EPA.
     Since the study involved many simplifying assumptions,  the analysis
presented should be viewed as a first approximation of the nationwide
NO- problem.  More intensive local validation of study results is
recommended as input to firm and final decisions, especially those with
significant social or economic impact.

     We wish to extend our gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Hisao
Shigeishi of SRI International.  Without the benefit of his programming
skill and his generous allottment of time and energy to the project, our
efforts would have fallen far short of their intended goal.  Appreciation
is due also to the many SRI people involved in various stages of manual
data analysis and textual review.  Last, but by no means least, we thank
the EPA for continuing assistance in assuring the availability of neces-
sary data and information.

                       I  SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS


     This report describes our assessment of short-term ambient N0« prob-

lems throughout the United States.  The current problem was assessed on

the basis of monitoring observations, statistical estimates, and simpli-

fied modeling estimates.  Future trends were assessed for both the near

term and long term.  The possibilities for control of NO  emissions were
                                                        X
explored, and the interaction between the NO- and oxidant control pro-

grams was investigated.  Based on the analysis as described in this

report, the following conclusions are drawn:

     •  Short-term exceeding of concentration levels that are within
        the range being considered for a proposed standard  (200 to
        1000 |j,g/irr) is frequent and widespread throughout the United
        States.

     •  Short-term concentrations observed at most existing air
        monitoring sites are probably dominated by area sources,
        particularly by motor vehicle activity on urban roads.

     •  Point source emissions such as those from industrial plants
        can cause locally high short-term concentrations of NO?
        in unmonitored as well as in monitored locations.  Such
        concentrations are more likely in unmonitored locations
        since most monitoring sites are located to avoid the dis-
        proportionate impact of strong point sources.

     •  The trend in NOX emissions indicates the possibility of a
        slight reduction in the near term (1983), but a probable
        increase over the longer term.  Near-term reductions, if
        realized, will generally not be substantial enough to
        achieve and maintain standards within the range being
        considered.

     •  Because of the different locations and meteorological
        conditions associated with their maximum impacts, point
        sources  (e.g., industrial plants) and area sources  (e.g.,
        automobiles) should be subject to separate control programs
        designed to mitigate their specific effects.

     •  Programs for NO  emission reduction may have adverse
        effects on ambient ozone concentrations.

                           II  INTRODUCTION

     A variety of nitrogen oxides and nitrogen acids are expected to be
present in the atmosphere under normal conditions because of naturally
occurring processes within the atmosphere.  The concentrations of these
natural nitrogen compounds are extremely small — generally less than one
part per billion by volume.  In a typical polluted atmosphere, the waste
products of human activity greatly increase the concentrations of most
of the nitrogen compounds.  Two compounds, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen
dioxide (NO-), reach concentrations approaching one part per million in
some urban areas and have caused concern because of problems related to
human health.
     An ambient air quality standard for N09 of 100 micrograms per cubic
           3
meter (|JLg/m ) as an annual average has been in existence since 1971, and
pursuant to the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1977 a short-term standard
for an averaging time of 3-hours or less is now being considered by EPA.
Both NO and NO- play important roles in the photochemical process leading
to the formation of oxidants (primarily ozone) for which an air quality
standard has also been set.
     The principal source of elevated NO and NO- concentrations in urban
areas is the ubiquitous cumbustion process, which fosters the reaction
of fuel nitrogen with the nitrogen and oxygen in the air.  The high
temperatures of typical combustion processes favor the formation of
nitric oxide initially, which oxidizes rapidly to NO- upon mixing with
the air through the reversible reaction:

                          2 NO + 02 ^ 2 N02                           (1)

until an equilibrium is reached.  When ozone is present, NO- formation
may be enhanced by the reaction
                          NO
                                                                       (2)

-------
In the presence of strong sunlight and reactive hydrocarbon compounds,
also present in the atmosphere, photochemical reactions result  in the
formation of oxidants.
     The processes described above in conjunction with varying  degrees
of dispersion occasioned by meteorological conditions give rise to  a
geographic, seasonal, and diurnal variability of NO and N0« concentra-
tions in the ambient air.  These characteristics have been described
extensively by Trijonis  (1977) and also by Ludwig  (1977).
     Typically, NO concentrations build up during  the early morning
traffic peak as the result of  increased emissions  from automobiles  com-
bined with minimally dispersive atmospheric conditions.  Concentrations
of N00 reach a peak shortly after the traffic maximum, because  of the
     ^                    -2T/,j ,-,? ce.-TL,t^ / •& J><: t«-f tf*'  2 •?<£
process described in equation  (1), accompanied by  a rapid decline in
concentrations of NO.  During  midday, NO,, concentrations decline because
of a decrease in emission rate, an increase in meteorological dispersion,
and (in some cases) the  photolysis of NO- in the production of  ozone.
In the evening, concentrations of NO and N0? again increase  with in-
creased emissions from evening traffic accompanied by a decrease in
meteorological dispersion.  Evening  concentrations  typically remain
elevated for a longer period than in the morning because of the trend
of decreasing meteorological dispersion characteristic of the evening
hours.  Coastal locations are  prone  to later evening peaks than are
more inland locations possibly caused by the prolongation of dispersion
in afternoon thermal  (sea breeze/lake breeze) circulations.  Evening N02
peaks are apparently enhanced  by the presence of elevated concentrations
of ozone (eq. 2) in the  late afternoon.
     Seasonal variability is typified by a fall or winter peak  in levels
of NO and N07 most probably caused by decreased dispersion during those
seasons of the year and, in the case of N02, decreased photolysis.  The
winter peak is most pronounced in locations with minimal photochemical
activity (ozone production) in the summer months.  In areas of  signifi-
cant photochemical activity, summer  peaks or diminished seasonal
variability are likely.

-------
                   Ill  THE SCOPE OF CURRENT PROBLEMS

A.   General Considerations
     As input to the process of choosing a suitable short-terra  standard
for N02, we sought to determine the concentrations of NO- likely  to
occur on a short-term averaged basis in the various AQCRs.  This  was
done using a combination of air quality data and estimation.  We  chose,
also, to define the NO., problem in terms of the highest second-highest
NO- concentration at the 1-hour averaging time; that is, in terms of the
maximum of all second-highest values observed or estimated within a spe-
cific AQCR.  This definition is consistent with past EPA practice in
allowing one exceedance of the standard per year.  Wherever possible,
suspicious values obtained from magnetic tape data files were verified
with the agency responsible for producing the data.  Separate assess-
ments were performed for area source and point source problems  because
of their general lack of coincidence either in space or in time.  Assess-
ment of seasonal, diurnal, and geographic variability of concentration
was largely neglected because of time limitations, although their signi-
ficance is discussed qualitatively.

B.   Continuous 1-Hour Monitoring
     1.   Instrumentation
          Continuous sampling for N02, the basis for 1-hour observations,
is done almost exclusively throughout the United States by either the
colorimetric or cheiniluminescent techniques.  The latter technique has
recently been favored over the former by the EPA, although data from both
methods are currently maintained in the SAROAD data bank.  A check with
the San Francisco Bay Area Air Pollution Control District (BAAPCD) (Siu
1977),  where both types of instrumentation are in use,  indicated  that
comparable results are obtained for continuous short-term measurements

-------
of NCL.  As a further check on comparability, we searched the published
data (EPA 1977a) for air monitoring sites at which simultaneous sampling
was done by both methods.  Figure 1 shows a scattergram of 50th and 90th
percentile values for NO- from the simultaneous data sets available in
1975.  The scatter is caused, in many cases, by the differing sampling
times and lengths of record for the two instruments.  At the few stations
with records that show more than 7000 observations for each monitoring
technique, scatter is much reduced as indicated by the circled data points
in Figure 1.  Because of the small data sample, no rigorous statistical
analysis was attempted.  On the basis of this  limited investigation of
instrument comparability in the short-term measurement of N0? concentra-
tion, we decided to use all data contained in  the SAROAD file without
adjustment regardless of measurement method.   Length of record was also
ignored since the second-highest observed value in any record is of
interest regardless of the length of record.

     2.   Analysis
          As an  indication of possible short-term NO™ concentration
within an individual AQCR containing continuous monitoring sites, the
second-highest 1-hour N0? value for each station in each of the 3 years
1974 through 1976 was extracted from a magnetic tape of the SAROAD file
supplied by the  EPA.  The maximum of these second-highest values was then
selected to indicate exceedance of candidate standards within each AQCR.
This process was repeated for each AQCR containing one or more station
years of continuous NO™ monitoring during the  3-year period.
          The results of the 1-hour monitoring analysis are presented in
histogram form in Figure 2.  The ordinate of the graph indicates the
highest second-highest concentration in micrograms per cubic meter.  The
abscissa indicates the cumulative number of AQCRs with highest second-
highest concentrations exceeding specific levels on the ordinate.  The
AQCRs are plotted in descending order of concentration,  and the AQCR
identification numbers are plotted at the top  of the histogram bars.
(AQCRs can be identified in Figure 9.)  A total of 84 AQCRs is included

in the histogram of Figure 2.  In the published air quality data  for
1975 (EPA, 1977a), the value for AQCR 47 is flagged as an extraordinarily
high maximum value.  Its validity, therefore,  is in doubt.

C.   Estimates from 24-Hour Manual Sampling
     1.   Instrumentation
          Manual sampling for a 24-hour average is accomplished by
bubbling the gas stream through an impinger containing an absorbing
solution, which is then subjected to laboratory analysis after the 24-
hour sample is collected.  Data listed in the SAROAD data bank were
obtained by two methods:  NASN Sodium Arsenite-Orifice and NASN Sodium
Arsenite-Frit.  We compared data from these two methods in the same way
as for the 1-hour instrumentation techniques;  the results are presented
in Figure 3.  Again, the scatter tends to be large, due in part to data
points based on few observations (< 20).  We chose to use all data with-
out adjustment for monitoring technique.  A rigorous statistical analysis
of the type required to establish the degree of agreement between the
two methods could not be performed within the time limit of this study.

     2.   Analysis
          Since we are interested in the 1-hour averaging time rather
than the 24-hour averaging time, the 24-hour observations were used to
estimate the 1-hour values.  This was done by taking ratios of second
highest 1-hour-to-second highest 24-hour average observations obtained
in each of the 3 years  (1974 to 1976) and in each city where both 1-hour
and 24-hour measurements were available concurrently.  A cumulative
frequency distribution of these ratios was then obtained and a 50th
percentile ratio equal to 3.0 was determined.   The observed 24-hour
values were then multiplied by the 50th percentile ratio to produce the
histogram presented as Figure 4.
          Other methods are also available for such analysis.  Morris
(1977), for example, estimated a ratio of 2.0 between 1-hour and  24-
hour maximum values on the basis of a best fit to  1974 and 1975 data.

Using Larsen's technique, he obtained a ratio of 2.05.  We determined  a
l-hour-to-24-hour maximum ratio from our 50th percentile analysis approach
which was very similar to these values.  Thus, we feel that  Figure 4
represents a reasonable best estimate of the 1-hour NO™ problem based  on
24-hour data.  The data did exhibit considerable scatter, however, with
ratios of 2.0 and 6.0 for the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively.
          A total of 179 AQCRs is shown in Figure 4.  The estimated
value for AQCR 55 is based on a highest second-highest 24-hour measure-
                3
ment of 996 |j,g/m  monitored by the EPA in Hamilton County, Tennesee in
1974.  This value was verified as the correct value on record.  The
relatively high values for AQCRs 7 and 67 (Athens, Alabama and Jolliet,
Illinois, respectively) were validated also.  The 1-hour second-highest
maxima obtained from 24-hour measurements in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico are not included in Figure 4 since they were unavailable at the
time the histogram program was run.  They were subsequently determined to
be 339 M-g/m3 (AQCR 9, Alaska), 396 ^g/m3 (AQCR 60, Hawaii), and 228 |j,g/m3
(AQCR 244, Puerto Rico).

D.   Estimates from Area Source Air Quality Modeling
     1.   Modeling Procedure
          Where neither 1-hour nor 24-hour measurements are available,
estimates were made of the possible second-highest 1-hour concentrations
by mathematically relating emission rates and meteorological conditions
to ambient concentrations.  This modeling process is reasonably simple
when applied to area source emissions of nonreactive pollutants.  We
used such a mathematical model based on the work of Hanna (1971) and
Holzworth (1972),  outlined in Appendix A, to estimate annual average
concentrations of total oxides of nitrogen.  The modeling was done for
the largest city in each air quality control region, where the population
of such a city equaled or exceeded 50,000 people at the time of the last
(1970) census.   It was assumed that the largest cities would have the
highest NO- concentrations related to area sources.  AQCRs with the popu-
lation of their largest city less than 50,000 were assumed to have area
                                    11

        3
200 |j,g/m  on the basis of rough estimates using the model.  This assump-
tion made the modeling task more tractable since many of the AQCRs fell
in this category.
          The modeling process is easily implemented by using the nomo-
graph in Figure A-2 of Appendix A.  Emission densities for the cities in
question were obtained by calculating a per-capita emission rate for
oxides of nitrogen (NO ) from area sources  (based on the National
                      X
Emissions Data System (NEDS) emissions summaries for the AQCR containing
the city) and multiplying by the average population densities of the
cities taken from census information.  Annual average wind speeds for the
cities were obtained from Holzworth  (1972).  City size was taken as the
square root of the quotient of city population and population density.
An estimate of annual average NO  was then obtained from the nomograph.
                                X
          To test the reliability of the modeling process, we compared
our estimates with available measurements of annual average NO  in the

same cities as our modeling.  The highest measurements in 1974 through
1976 were used.  The results are presented  in Figure 5.

     2.   Analysis
          Since we  are  interested in 1-hour rather than annual average
concentrations, it  was  necessary to convert from one averaging time to
the other.  We did  this statistically by comparing our modeled annual
average NO  concentrations  to maximum second-highest 1-hour N02 measure-
ments in the same city,  but not  necessarily at the same site.   The com-
parison is shown in Figure  6.  The 50th percentile of the  ratio values
was extracted from  the  scattergram after eliminating points with ratios
of NO  to NO  greater than  15:1,  which were considered anomalous in an
     fL      X
area source context  and which had the  appearance  of outlyers on the
scattergram.

          After  performing the indicated analysis, we converted our
annual average NO  estimates to pragmatic best estimates  of  second-
                  X
highest  1-hour NO- concentration using the 50th percentile ratio as a
multiplier.   The analysis results are displayed graphically  in histogram
form  (Figure  7).

E.    Estimates from Point Source Air Quality Modeling
      1.   Modeling Procedure
          The procedure for modeling short-term N0_ concentrations caused
by point sources  differs considerably from that used to model area source
concentrations.   For point source modeling, we chose the  standard
gaussian plume model described in detail by Turner  (1969) with plume
rise  estimates according to Briggs (1969), as outlined  in Appendix A.

  FIGURE 7   HISTOGRAM  OF HIGHEST SECOND-HIGHEST 1-HOUR N02 CONCENTRATION, BY AQCR, ESTIMATED  BY
              MODELING AND STATISTICAL CONVERSION OF  AVERAGING TIME

-------
On the basis of the procedures described in these publications, we esti-
mated the maximum ground-level concentration expected downwind of indi-
vidual point source facilities in each AQCR under adverse meteorological
conditions.  Point sources modeled were those for which data was available
in the National Emissions Data System (NEDS) maintained by the EPA.
Meteorological conditions chosen as adverse consist of Turner "B" sta-
bility and a 2 m/s wind speed.  To simplify the modeling process, we
assumed that ground level maxima from individual stacks within a given
facility are additive and that all NO is converted to N0? before reaching
the point of ground level maximum.  The assumption of additive maxima will
produce an overestimate in most cases, but since highest emissions are
frequently from a few stacks of similar characteristics and stacks are
fairly close together, we feel the assumption is reasonable as a safe
estimate of a worst case situation.  The assumption of 100% conversion
to NO- will also produce an overestimate.  Research done on NO to N00
     ^                                                              tL
conversion in power plant plumes (Davis, 1974; Hegg et al.,  1976 and
Caenepeel et al., 1976) indicates that the actual ground-level N0_ con-
centrations may be as much as 50% lower than those obtained on the basis
of a 100% conversion assumption.

     2.   Analysis
          To portray the point source problem in a reasonable way in
view of the large and undetermined uncertainty in the modeling procedure,
we chose to indicate the individual point source impact in terms of a
number of ranges of ground-level maximum concentration rather than as
specific values.  Because of the somewhat discrete nature of point source
problems and the location of some point source problems in remote areas,
we thought also that the number of impacted sites within an AQCR would
be a more useful statistic than a single maximum value.  To accomplish
the above objectives, we chose the format of Table 1.  This table con-
tains a list of AQCRs; to their right are 10 classes of concentration in
micrograms per cubic meter.  Next to each AQCR we have indicated the
number of modeled sites by concentration class.  An indication of impact
                                   17

associated with various degrees of conversion from NO to N02 may be
obtained by proportionate reduction of the class interval values.
          Table 1 reveals a substantial number of sites at which high
ground level concentrations are indicated.  In reviewing the impact data
that led to these estimates, unreasonable values for source character-
istics such as stack height and gas temperature were occasionally
detected.  A validation check of individual data on the NEDS point
source subfile would be a monumental task and could not be performed
with any degree of usefulness within the scope and time frame of our
study.  Because of the probable errors inherent in the generally crude
estimates of point source emissions as well as those apparent from the
data analysis, we urge caution in the interpretation of the Table 1
results.  The same caution applies to use of the NEDS data in general.
In areas where serious problems are indicated by the analysis,  detailed
local studies based on validated data bases are strongly recommended.

F.   Analysis Summary
     In Sections II A through E, above, we discussed the statistical
analyses of 1- and 24-hour monitoring data and the modeling analyses of
area and point source emissions data.  In this summary section,  we will
discuss the significance and usefulness of each of these four segments
and attempt to fit them into a complete and meaningful indication of
current air-quality problems.

     1.   1-Hour Observations
          Continuous monitoring that yielded 1-hour observations of N00
concentration was available from 237 communities in 84 of the 247 AQCRs.
These observations represent the most direct and least uncertain esti-
mates of short-term N0« problem in the immediate areas of the individual
air monitoring sites.  Since, however, there are many unmonltored AQCRs,
many unmonitored cities within the monitored AQCRs, and many unmonitored
sites within monitored cities, the available 1-hour data represents
only a small sampling of the possible N02 problem areas.
                                   21

-------
          Since continuous air monitoring stations are frequently placed
in center city locations and away from industrial areas, the continuous
data is most strongly influenced by area source emissions such as those
from automobiles and space heating.  Although some few sites exhibit
characteristics (such as high peak-to-mean ratios) indicative of point
source influence,  the 1-hour NO- data should not be expected to be well
related to point source emission levels within the region.

     2.   24-Hour Observations
          Manual sampling for 24-hour averaged NO,, was available from
871 communities in 182 AQCRs.  Since the 1-hour and 24-hour observations
overlapped in only 53 communities, the 24-hour data added 818 to the
sample of monitored communities for a total of 1055.  The total of
monitored AQCRs was increased to 193.  Since the 24-hour data must be
converted statistically to 1-hour estimates, the 24-hour observations
are only an indirect indication of short-term N0_ problems.  The uncer-
      *
tainty  in individual estimates is considerable—on the order of ±50?0
of the 50th percentile value.
          As in the case of the 1-hour data, the 24-hour observations
indicate more the influence of area sources than of point sources.  In
fact, the point source influence should be even less in the case of the
24-hour data because point source plumes are unlikely to influence a
given receptor more than a small fraction of the total 24-hour sampling
time.

     3.   Area Source Modeling
          The estimates of short term NO- maxima made from modeling area
source emissions are the least direct because no monitoring is involved.
The uncertainty in the modeling estimates,  however,  as evidenced by
Figures 5 and 6,  is comparable to that in the 1-hour estimates from
*We define uncertainty as one-half the difference between the 10th and
 90th percentile values.
                                   22

-------
24-hour observations.  The implications of this uncertainty are the same
as those in the 24-hour estimates, and it can be seen from the histograms
that the modeling estimates of the number of AQCRs exceeding the stan-
dards are comparable to estimates made by the other methods.
          The modeling estimates are obviously representative of area
source influence since they are based exclusively on area source emis-
sions.  The purpose of this analysis was twofold:  to provide information
for those AQCRs where no monitoring is available, and to flag those AQCRs
where problems might possibly be worse than indicated by available
monitoring.

     4.   Point Source Modeling
          In the foregoing analyses, we have emphasized area source
rather than point source influence.  This being the case, these analyses
have not provided a complete effort to determine the presence of short-
term NO- problems within an AQCR.  The reason is that serious problems
may exist in the plumes of large point sources and go undetected at
sparsely located monitoring sites.  In the interest of a more complete
assessment, this section provides a modeling estimate of possible,
extreme short-term concentrations of N0_ in the vicinity of point sources
listed in the EPA/NEDS data bank.  These modeling estimates are somewhat
crude because of many simplifying assumptions.  We believe,  however,
that they,  as with the area source modeling estimates,  provide a reason-
able indication of possibly undetected problems at locations within
certain AQCRs and provide the most specific indication of point source
influence.

     5.   Combined Estimates
          Since each of the four estimation segments listed above repre-
sents only a part of the total picture, the information must be combined
in some way to better represent this total picture.  Because of the gen-
eral comparability of the three area source analyses, we believed that
it was reasonable to pool the information available in the form of a
                                   23

-------
single histogram (Figure 8).  The figure indicates all AQCRs in which a
second-highest 1-hour NCL concentration in excess of given values has
either been observed or is estimated to possibly exist.  In constructing
the combined histogram, the highest value given for an AQCR by any of
the three methods was selected as the value representing the AQCR problem.
The uncertainty, as outlined above, for 24-hour and for area source
modeling estimates is, of course, carried over to this combined analysis.
Because, however, of the considerable variability in pollutant concentra-
tions that exists, even within individual communities, we believe that
the indicated levels represent reasonable possibilities for the AQCRs in
question and a good indication of the number  or percentage of AQCRs
involved at a specific level of  concern.
          Because of the very different implications for control  (dis-
cussed  later in  the report) we have chosen not to pool the point-source
analysis results  (Table 1) with  those for the three area source segments.

             IV  THE NATURE OF CURRENT SOURCE CONTRIBUTIONS

A.   General Considerations
     Although some N02 may be ascribed to natural sources, the urban
area natural background levels are negligible compared with the levels
from the influence of anthropogenic emissions.  The key, therefore, to
devising a workable control program geared to the attainment and mainte-
nance of a short-term air quality standard for N02 is a knowledge of the
sources of NO  emissions.
             X
     In this section, we describe the sources in individual AQCRs to
facilitate devising control strategies.  The data base for our analysis
consisted of the EPA/NEDS file of emissions summary reports by AQCR.
This set of summaries provides the latest available estimates of total
AQCR emissions in a number of source categories.  Inventory data used
for the discussion in this section are provided in detail in Appendix B.

B.   Source Structure Analysis
     As the basis for our analysis, we chose seven categories, which are
well defined and which, from cursory analysis, appeared to contribute
most of the AQCR NO  emissions:
                   X
     •  Aircraft (A)
     •  Light-duty highway vehicles (L)
     •  Heavy-duty highway vehicles (H)
     •  External combustion area sources (space heating) (S)
     •  External combustion point sources (P)
     •  Electric generation (power plants) (E)
     •  Industrial processing (I).
The remaining emission sources were then treated as Miscellaneous.  In
addition to the seven individual categories,  we defined the two general
categories of point sources and area sources.  The area source general

                                   27

category may further be divided into distributed and nondistributed
area sources.  These two subcategories of area sources refer, respec-
tively, to area sources such as highway vehicles and space heating,
which are spatially distributed throughout the community; and area
sources such as airports, which are confined to discrete locales.
     In Figure 9, we have attempted to portray graphically the distribu-
tion of these key source categories within the individual AQCRs.  Next
to each number and name in the list of AQCRs we have placed solid and
dashed lines representing area and point sources, respectively, and a
set of code letters representing selected source categories as indicated
in the list provided above.  The length of the lines and the positions
of the code letters indicate the approximate percentage contributions
of the individual categories to total NO  emissions within the AQCR.
                                        X
Code letters were not plotted when the contribution was less than 5%.
Table B-l presents the actual data used in preparing Figure 9.
     On the average, area sources provide 62.9% and point source 37.1%
of the total annual AQCR NO  emissions.  Distributed area sources taken
                           X
as highway vehicles and space heating combined provide 40.9% of the
total annual AQCR NO  emissions in the summer and 51.5% in the winter
season based on the assumption that most of the space heating occurs
during a 6-month period.  With respect to the individual source cate-
gories, percentage contributions averaged over all AQCRs, on an annual
basis, are summarized in Table 2.  These percentages may be construed
to represent conditions in the typical AQCR, although considerable
variability is evident in Figure 9.  Especially striking is the con-
trast between industrial AQCRs, such as metropolitan Birmingham, and
nonindustrial AQCRs such as Northwestern Connecticut.

                     V  ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE TRENDS

A.   Near-Term Trends
     With a view toward a requirement for achievement of the short-term
air quality standard by the end of 1982, we attempted to estimate the
trend in the short-term NO™ situation by 1982.  Our method consisted in
the application of growth rates to base-year emissions by source category.
This method provided the basis for a weighted estimate of changes that
might be expected in ambient N0» concentrations, on the assumption that
concentrations and emissions are proportional.  Such an assumption
appears reasonable in the case of total oxides of nitrogen (NO ), but
                                                              X
might not be entirely accurate in the case of N0? since nonlinear photo-
chemical reactions are involved in its  formation.  The approach can be
considered reasonable, however, as a first approximation based on pro-
fessional judgement and experience.
     In performing the projections, we utilized information from the
Bureau of Economic Analysis (1973), the Bureau of the Census (1977), the
Federal Energy Administration  (1976), the Department of Transportation
(1975), and the Environmental Protection Agency (1977).  On the basis of
this information, we deduced a reasonable growth rate, as a national
average, of 2% per year, compounded, for vehicle miles traveled and the
same rate for energy use in industrial  and household/commercial energy
use sectors.  A large average  growth rate of 5.4% per year was indicated
for electric energy utilization in the  absence of further control
     The national average population growth was indicated at approxi-
mately 0.9% per year between 1975 and 1982.  From this information, we
assumed that area source emissions, in  lieu of additional control, would
grow at the rate of 2.2 times  the population growth rate, as a national
average.  We then weighted this source  emission growth rate by the popu-
lation growth rates in the individual AQCRs to produce an estimate of
                                    35

Since the actual growth rate in emissions will reflect the influence of
additional controls,, in the future, further estimating adjustment  is
required.
     In the case of highway vehicle emissions, the degree of control by
1983 for the national mix of vehicle model years was calculated  from
preliminary emission factors provided by EPA  (Fleckenstein, 1977)
applied to California and non-California locations.  In the case of all
other source categories, no further control was assumed beyond that
operating in the base year (1975)  since we were unable in the time
available for the study to research the control programs for individual
AQCRs.  Finally, with regard to fuel use, it must be recognized that the
mix of fuels may change considerably from base year 1975 to horizon
year 1982.  Shortages of natural gas in some areas of the country will
force a switch  to coal or fuel oil use for external combustion particu-
larly in the point source combustion category.  This will most probably
give rise to greater emissions of  NO  than might be expected solely on
                                    X
the basis of increases in energy demand.
     Because of factors such as stationary source control and fuel
switching (which may vary considerably from one AQCR to another) and
strict time constraints, we chose  not to present emissions change esti-
mates for the individual AQCRs.  We can, however, present some semi-
quantitative conclusions from our  basic investigation of the matter.
These conclusions, which may be construed to apply to a typical AQCR,
are as follows:
     •  On the  basis of the latest EPA emission factors, we can
        expect  as much as a 207= decrease in NO  emissions from
        highway vehicles in the near term (1975-1982) for non-
        California AQCRs and a 25% decrease in NOX emissions for
        California AQCRs.
     •  Emissions in sources categories other than highway vehicles
        will probably increase by  15% in the near term in lieu
        of further control and adverse changes in the fuel mix.
     •  Because of a fairly even balance between vehicle and non-
        vehicle emissions, most AQCRs will have,  at best,  a very
        slight  decrease in net regional emissions of N0x in the
        short term.
                                   36

     Figure 10  (ABAC 1977) shows the near-term  (and long-term) expecta-
tions for NO  in the San Francisco Bay Area in  the absence of new con-
            X
trols and supports the conclusions we have drawn relative to near-term
changes in NO   emissions for a sample AQCR.  Figure 11 presents a
             X
cumulative distribution of the fractional change in NO  emissions
                                                      X
between 1975 and 1982 for the AQCRs analyzed.   Population growth rates
input to this analysis appear in Appendix B.

B.   Long-Term  Trends
     Although we have not performed a quantitative analysis of long-
term NO  emission trends, certain conclusions may be drawn from past
       X
experience, judgement, and the quantitative studies that are available.
As illustrated  in Figure 10, which represents long-term trends for the
San Francisco Bay Area AQCR, near-term improvements in NO  emissions
                                                         X
will be offset  by growth in the longer term, presenting a virtually
changeless picture over a 25-year period.  Decreases in auto emissions
will be offset  by increases in stationary source categories especially
in the fuel combustion category.  Throughout the long term,  motor
vehicle emissions will remain the major contributor to N0_ air quality
problems.  Another, competing, influence on long-term trends is the
impact of hydrocarbon emission reduction on the ambient concentrations
of N0».  Since  N0« production is partly photochemical, a possible impact
would be suspected.  In this regard, Trijonis (1977) observed empirically
that hydrocarbon reduction is indeed related to accompanying, though
disproportionately smaller, reductions in peak N02 concentrations.

          VI  CONTROL REQUIREMENTS, OPTIONS, AND FEASIBILITY

A.   Control Implications of Possible Standards
     The EPA is currently considering a short-term  (1-hour) ambient air
                                          o
quality standard between 200 and 1000 (ig/m .  The standard chosen will
determine the degree of control and the cost required to achieve and
maintain the standard.  Based on the analysis, the need for control
varies considerably with the level of the standard as outlined in the
following discussion and illustrated in Figures 12, 13, and 14.
     1.   Scope of Required Control
          In  Figure 12, which is based on the histograms of Figures 2,
4, 7, and 8,  it can be seen that the number of AQCRs involved in control
programs for  NO  varies in a highly nonlinear manner with the level of
               X
air quality (standard) that must be achieved.  Similar conclusions can
be drawn from Figure  13 for point sources based on the data of Table  1.

     2.   Stringency  of Required Control
          Comparison  with Long-Term Standard—Since a long-term standard
for N09 (100  (j,g/m  as an annual average) already exists, one item of
concern is the relative stringency of the long-term standard and the
various short-term standards within the proposed range.  To illustrate
this issue, we prepared Figure 14, which indicates the percentage of
receptor sites for which a specific short-term standard  is estimated  to
be more stringent than the existing long-term standard.  Greater strin-
gency for a short-term standard means that even if the long-term standard
is achieved,  the short-term standard will still be a problem to achieve.
Figure 14 is  based on a cumulative distribution of the ratios of second-
highest 1-hour average-to-annual average N0« concentrations constructed
from available continuous monitoring data.  Since monitoring data,  for
the most part, reflects an area source rather than a point source
                                  41

influence,  the  results in Figure 14 may not apply at sites where N0_
concentrations  are influenced primarily by point source plumes.
          Degree  of Improvement—The required degree of air quality
improvement implied by various possible standards is readily deduced
from Figure 12, which has been drawn on log-linear scale.  On  the
assumption  that NCL levels at the 1-hour averaging time are roughly
proportional  to NO  emissions from contributing source categories,
                   X
Figure 12 may be  used,  also,  to obtain a first approximation of the
degree of required control on contributing sources.  As an example  of
the procedure,  we note using the all methods curve for the median AQCR,
                       3
a standard  of 200 |j,g/m  would imply a 50% reduction in contributing
emissions.   For the 10th percentile AQCR,  an 80% degree of control  is
                      3
implied by  a  200  |J,g/m  standard.

     3.   Control Options
          Although control  options  exist  in most  of  the major  source
categories shown in Table 2,  emphasis  should  be placed on  those  cate-
gories for which the  smallest percentage  of control  will yield the
greatest percentage decrease  in NCL concentrations.   On the  other hand,
care must be taken to avoid the unnecessary control  of source  categories
largely unrelated to  the existing NO,,  problem.  As an example, consider
an AQCR in which automobile emissions  represent 40%  of the total regional
emissions of NO  and  point  source combustion  another 40%.  A simplistic
               X
approach to control might consider  either source  category  an appropriate
candidate for control.  In  the case of a  center city N02 problem, how-
ever,  automobile emissions might account  for  90%  of  the N0_  concentra-
tion,  and in such a case more astute reasoning would  favor the choice
of automobile controls.  Depending  on  the type of problem  diagnosed, the
following are the prime options for control:
                                   44

-------
     •  Automobile emissions
     •  External combustion emissions
     •  Industrial processing emissions
     •  Space heating emissions
          For a typical AQCR, control of automobile emissions will
undoubtedly yield the greatest return in community-wide air quality
improvement.  For AQCRs in which specific point source problems have
been identified, control of contributing point source emissions will
also be required.  Where possible, control strategies should be soundly
based on local analysis.  Blanket control of source categories solely
on the basis of relative contribution to total AQCR emissions may not
provide proportionate improvement in air quality.
          Several approaches exist for the control of NO  emissions:
tighter emission standards for highway vehicles; modifications of exist-
ing sources (retrofit program); minimum performance standards (best
available control technology) for new sources; inspection and maintenance
programs (primarily for automobiles); and transportation control (to
reduce NO  generated as a result of vehicle operation).   Other control
         A
options include parking management; auto use deterrents such as higher
bridge tolls,  and gasoline, parking,  and auto use taxes; and gasoline
rationing.  These latter options cannot be imposed legally at the fed-
eral level but are available as options for State Implementation Plans
(SIPs).

     4.   Control Feasibility and Effectiveness
          We utilized primarily the experience of the air quality mainte-
nance planning effort in the San Francisco Bay Area for indications of
control measure feasibility and effectiveness.  Except for gasoline
rationing and parking management, which have proven politically unaccept-
able in the past, the control approaches listed in the preceding sub-
section were all deemed feasible for implementation in the air quality
maintenance planning effort.  Reductions achieved in N0x emissions were
negligible in the case of transportation controls and auto use deterrents.
The best available control of new and existing stationary sources
                                  45

-------
yielded an 11% reduction in NO  emissions in the near term (1975 through
                              X
1985).  Studies conducted by the BAAPCD air quality maintenance planning
staff (ABAC 1977b) concluded that additional reduction in current auto
emission standards might be possible over the longer term.  Although
no reduction estimates were made by the staff, we estimate that such a
program would result in at best 1570 reduction in NO  emissions over
                                                   X
current emission trends.

      VII INTERACTION OF THE N02 AND OXIDANT CONTROL PROGRAMS

     One of the most complicated problems in NO  control is the chemical
                                               X
interaction between NO  and oxidant.  Because of this interaction, con-
                      X
trols intended to improve air quality by lowering the N0? content are
likely to have an adverse effect on efforts to control the oxidant
(primarily ozone) content.  To clarify the problem,  we chose two methods
of analysis:  the graphic modeled isopleth method described by Dimitriades
(1977) and by Dodge (1977), and a photochemical modeling exercise using
the DIFKIN model as described in Martinez et al. (1973).

A.   The Modeled Isopleth Method
     This method consists of a set of isopleths of maximum ozone concen-
tration expected to develop as the result of chemical reaction between
initial concentrations of nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NO ) in a reaction chamber.  The isopleths (Figure 15) are
            X
derived from reaction chamber (smog chamber) experiments modified by
mathematical simulation to more closely approximate true atmospheric
conditions.  The set of isopleths is tuned to represent stagnant meteoro-^
logical conditions and clear skies in the Los Angeles area.  The iso-
pleths are useful for semiquantitative estimates of changes in oxidant
air quality resulting from joint or individual changes in emissions for
nonmethane hydrocarbons, or oxides of nitrogen, or both.
     To use the isopleths, select a starting point representative of the
current ozone maximum and the ratio of NMHC to NO  in the region of
                                                 X
interest.  Proposed percentage changes in either NMHC or NO  emissions
                      ^——                             j£
or both are then represented by horizontal or vertical arrows paralleling
the abscissa or ordinate, as appropriate to the pollutant(s) subject to
control.  The percentage change in ozone can then be noted as the per-
centage change in the value at the end point relative to the value at
the starting point.  Perusal of the isopleth pattern will reveal that in

are less effective  (result in lesser percentage changes in ozone) as
ratios increase because of NO  reduction.  We have presented two situa-
                             X
tions in Figure 15:  one in which a 30% reduction in NO  produces a 100%
                                                       X
increase in ozone concentration; and a second in which a 50% reduction
in NO  decreases ozone concentration, but changes the effectiveness of
     X
NMHC control from a 50% reduction in ozone concentration to a 25%
reduction.

B.   DIFKIN Photochemical Modeling
     The second illustration we have prepared consists in mathematically
simulating the chemical reactions taking place in a parcel of air fol-
                                                                 2
lowing a trajectory through an urban area (Figure 16).  A 2500-km  city
(~ 2 million people) was assumed.  A uniform emission rate of 0.34 tons
                                                2
per day of both NMHC and nitrogen dioxide per km  in the peak traffic
                                                        2
periods and an emission rate of 0.27 tons per day per km  in the off-
peak periods were assumed.  This is roughly equivalent to emission rates
observed in San Jose, California.  A wind speed of 10 km/hr (~ 3 m/s)
was assumed.  The air parcel, therefore, spent 5 hours over the city and
was assumed to enter at the beginning (7 a.m.) of a two hour morning
traffic peak, exiting at 12 noon.  The air entering the city (located
at 25° N latitude and simulated for midsummer) was assumed "clean" with
nominal initial concentrations of 1 part per hundred million for all
pollutants.
     Ozone formation was simulated separately for the initially defined
emission conditions, and after a 50% reduction in NO emissions was dis-
tributed uniformly over the trajectory.  A third simulation was performed
after replacing the eliminated NO emissions by equivalent emissions con-
verted to an initial concentration at the beginning of the trajectory
and at altitude (199 to 563 meters above ground) to simulate an indus-
trial plume.  The simulated industrial plume was assumed one-half
                                  49

surface emissions.
     The results of the simulation are given in Figure 17.  It can be
seen that the 50% reduction in NO resulted in a 57% increase in ozone
concentration.  Replacement of the original NO emissions at the surface
by an equivalent amount of NO  at altitude restored the ozone concen-
tration to near its original value.  The simulations illustrate the
possible adverse interaction between NO  control and the ozone problem
                                       X
and indicate that the same problem probably pertains to both elevated
point source and ground level area source emissions.

     In the body of this report, reference was made to modeling tech-
niques used to estimate point and area source impacts on ambient concen-
trations of NO  and NO,.  This appendix outlines the techniques used in
        /      X       £»
the modeling.

A.   Point Source Modeling
     1.   Dispersion Algorithms
          The basic algorithm describing the point source plume is of
the form
                      C =
                              CT U
                exp
                                  exp
                                    v
+ exp  - -=
                                                                     (A-l)
In this algorithm, C  is concentration at a point within the plume a dis-
tance y horizontally  and z vertically from the centerline of the plume.
Quantities a  and a   are measures of plume spread, which increases with
downwind distance according  to  the relationship
                               CT = aX
                                 (A-2)
where X is distance, and a and b are constants that reflect the degree
of turbulence.   The height of the  plume  is  given by the quantity H,  the
mean wind speed  by the  quantity U, and the  rate of pollutant  emission
by the quantity  Q.
                                   A-3

-------
           The  solution of equation (A-l) may be obtained graphically in
 Figure  A-l,  taken from Turner (1969).   The figure provides the solution
 for  stability  category B (slightly unstable),  which we have taken to
 represent  adverse conditions  leading to relatively high, though probably
 not  worst  case,  concentrations at ground level.  By fitting a line
 through the  peaks in the concentration as a function of distance curves
 (dashed line in the figure),  we obtained a simple algorithm for maximum
 ground  level concentration in the form

                          r    - 4.44Q  U x 104                       ,  ox

                          "MAX       H1.87

 This algorithm,  with an assumed wind speed of 2 m/s,  provides a reason-
 able estimate  of maximum ground-level  concentrations  under adverse
 meteorological conditions.

     2.    Plume Rise Algorithms
           The  rise of buoyant plumes above the level  of the emission
 point has  been fully described by Briggs (1969).*  The most general
 algorithm  takes the form
                       AH -
                                     U

where AH is the amount of plume rise, and  F  is  given by
                                                                     (A-5)
            c iQ        2/5
and X* = 14F~^   and 34F    for F  less than and greater than 55,  respec-
tively.  In the above equations,  T   is ambient air temperature,  T  is
the temperature of the exiting gas,  Vf is the velocity of the exiting

gas, F is a buoyance factor, U is wind speed, and X* is a distance
scaling factor.  Equation  (A-4) gives the final, stabilized height of
the plume above the exit point of the gas.  This plume rise is then
added to the height of the exit point to yield the total height of the
plume,  referred to also as effective stack height, which is the same as
the quantity H in equation (A-3).
          These plume rise algorithms were used to obtain plume height
H for each individual stack as input to our point source modeling effort.

B.   Area Source Modeling
     Since an area source may logically be treated as a series of line
sources side by side, the area source algorithm is derived by integration
of the guassian line source equation and takes the form

                         2Q^
                                  ""	'""                   (A-6)

                                V2lcUa(l-b)

where Q  is the rate of emission per unit area, L is the upwind  length
of the area source, X~ and X- are the distances from the recptor point
to the farthest and closest edges of  the area  source respectively, and
other variables are as defined earlier.  Equation (A-6) applies  to points
downwind from the edge of the area source; equation  (A-7) provides a con-
centration at any downwind point within the confines of the area source.
A variant of (A-7) in the form

                                2Q   (1-b)
                         C =	—	                         (A-8)
provides a spatial average of concentration within the area source con-
fines.  At downwind distances exceeding one or two area source dimensions,
                                  A-6

-------
spreading of a finite area source plume gradually begins to invalidate
equation (A-6), which allows for vertical plume spread only.
     Figure A-2 provides a graphical solution of equation (A-6), which
provides a reasonable estimate of annual average concentration spatially
averaged throughout a population center.
