                                   ABSTRACT
      An EPA/Ecology carbon monoxide (CO) study was conducted last winter in
Spokane, Washington.  The purpose of the study was to determine if the
permanent monitoring stations appropriately characterize CO in Spokane.  To do
this, samples were collected and analyzed at approximately forty locations
near heavily traveled streets on fifty-four weekdays.  The CO values measured
at these locations were compared to the data collected at the permanent
monitors.

      The results show that the permanent monitoring sites appropriately
characterize CO  in Spokane.  The study data indicate the permanent Hamilton
site adequately  represents other areas of high ambient CO impact in Spokane.
Although the Hamilton site may exceed the National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) more frequently than other areas, it is not an isolated "hot-
spot" CO problem area.  The study revealed that other areas exhibit maximum CO
levels near the  same magnitude as those measured at the Hamilton Street site.

      The areas  with the highest measured CO levels were along Division,
Hamilton, Broadway, and 3rd streets.  All very heavy traffic corridors.  The
study also showed that the permanent monitors in the central business district
(Post office and Liquor store sites) adequately characterizes CO levels
downtown.

-------
                            ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
      The study was realized through a cooperative effort by the Washington
Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).

      Ecology was primarily responsible for equipment installation, field
sampling and sample analysis,  and data validation.  The EPA was primarily
responsible for study design and report preparation.

                                  INTRODUCTION
      Since the onset of continuous monitoring in 1976, a carbon monoxide (CO)
problem has been identified with the city of Spokane.  The city was declared
in non-attainment of the State and Federal air quality standards for CO .
Maximum ambient concentrations at the permanent sites continue to exceed the
level of the standard.  Some uncertainty persists over the ability of these
sites to characterize maximum CO impacts throughout Spokane.  A special study
was conceived by Ecology and the EPA to provide information relative to the
magnitude and spatial distribution of CO in Spokane.  This report presents
the major results and conclusions from that study.
       - The National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for CO is "... 9
parts per million  (ppm)  - maximum 8-hour concentration not to be exceeded more
than once per year." (40 CFR Part 50)
                                       1

-------
                         STUDY  PURPOSE  AND  OBJECTIVES
      The purpose of the special sampling study was to examine and establish,
if possible, the magnitude and spatial and temporal aspects of ambient CO in
Spokane.  The immediate utility of the study information would be to assess
whether the permanent sites provide an adequate profile of maximum CO levels
in Spokane such that decisions to develop control strategies could proceed
from a technically sound basis.  If indicated,  the study would also assist in
relocating the permanent sites or adding additional monitors.

      Explicit objectives were developed to ensure the fulfillment of the
study purpose within the context of intervening time and resource
constraints.  The principal study objective was to assess maximum ambient CO
impacts associated with mobile source emissions.   Another important study
objective was to provide for the retrieval of data possessing both high and
demonstrable quality and statistically adequate quantity through the
application of a rigorous quality assurance program.

-------
                               STUDY DESIGN
      The study progressed  through  three functional phases: network design and
siting, the sampling program, and data analyses.  What follows are brief
descriptions of each of  these components.


Network Design and  Siting

      Ambient concentrations of CO  are a function of many contributing
factors.  For ambient CO dominated  by mobile sources, the most important of
these parameters  seem to be traffic burden (expressed in both vehicle counts
and traffic dynamics) and ventilation potential.  The ultimate design of the
CO study network  was largely a product of considering these two features.

      Ecology and EPA staff screened traffic data obtained from the City of
Spokane to create a list of candidate intersections for subsequent assessment.
The guiding criteria for developing this list were high cumulative traffic "
counts encountered  at intersections.  It was assumed that this cumulative
count would grossly indicate traffic congestion, and presumably high ambient
CO potential.

      Upon completing this  preliminary list of candidate sampling locations,
EPA and Ecology staff physically inspected each intersection to examine
peculiar traffic  dynamics and the potential for meteorological confinement.
All these factors were subjectively weighted with respect to their potential
for inducing maximum CO  concentrations.  Problems posed by network logistics
were also considered prior  to selecting sites from the prioritized candidate
list for inclusion  in the actual study network.  The Corridor study network is
displayed in Figure 1 and described in Table 1, and the Central Business
District (CBD) study network is displayed in Figure 2 and described in Table
2.

      All samplers  were  sited in conformance with EPA's criteria for
monitoring  ambient CO.


Sampling Program

      This aspect of the study was  composed of several individual elements:
selection of study  and sampling intervals, selection of sampling methods,
field operations, and quality assurance.  Each are briefly described below.

      Ambient CO  levels  are typically cyclic in nature.  CO levels vary on a
seasonal and diurnal basis.  In order to optimize the probability of sampling
the phenomenon of interest  (i.e. high CO concentrations), historical CO dafa
from Spokane's permanent sites were reviewed.  Historical data indicated that
the season of greatest pollutant potential occurs between October and March.
The months of December,  January, and February were ultimately chosen for
sampling.

      Analysis of the historical CO data also indicated that CO levels were
generally higher on weekdays than on weekends and that the eight-hour daily
maximum CO value was most frequently recorded during the 11:00 A.M. to 7:00
P.M. interval.  Consequently, samples were collected weekdays over this eight-
hour period.

      Integrated bag samplers were employed in the study.  Simple and rugged
in design, this sampler collected an ambient air sample pumped at a constant
rate over 8 hours into a single polyethylene bag.  Bag samples were analyzed
by a Dasibi Model 3003 analyzer (an EPA-designated reference method) to yield
an 'average' CO concentration over the 8-hour sampling period.

      In addition to the bag samplers, a temporary continuous analyzer was
established adjacent to the Dairy Freeze restaurant at the intersection of
Hamilton and Sharp (located directly across the street from the permanent
Hamilton monitor).  The data from this continuous analyzer (hereinafter
denoted as 'DFE') and the Darl Apts. site (denoted as 'DAR') were utilized for
method comparison (see Quality Assurance).   Study sites 10 and 16 were
collocated with the Dairy Freeze site and the Darl Apts.  site, respectively.

      Study sampling was performed by Ecology.   The scope and nature of
activities are detailed in the project quality assurance  plan.

      A comprehensive and rigorous quality assurance program was developed and
ordered to the study to ensure that resultant data were of known and
appropriate quality, representativeness, completeness,  and comparability.
This program provided for routine measures of both sampling and analytical
performance.


Data Analyses

      Discussions of the types of data analyses undertaken appear in the
Results and Discussion section.

-------
                               LIMITATIONS
      Studies of  this sort are subject to uncertainties of which both
researcher and reader alike should be cognizant.  These qualifications do not
necessarily impair  the validity of the study results, but rather frames their
present and future  application and interpretation within the context of
appropriate caution.  The following limitations have been identified with
this study:


      1) Conditions inducing high levels of ambient CO are typically so
      infrequent  that studies of limited duration run the risk of missing the
      rather rare phenomena of interest.  Further, the statistical population
      of sample data in  the range of interest is really marginal to examine
      inter-site  relationships of this type in an absolutely definitive
      fashion.  Finally, even minor data gaps in a short duration study like
      this can severely  impair inter-site and 'seasonal' characterizations,
      again because the  phenomena of interest are relatively rare.

      Data collected from the permanent sites over the 1989-90 winter season
      indicate the  study period did encompass the major air stagnation
      episodes of the season.  However, historical data from the permanent
      sites indicate that CO levels during the 1989-90 winter season were low
      relative to past years.

      2) The number of intersections identified in the network design
      exercise as possessing CO potential far outstripped the number of
      samplers available to the study.  The reader should note that the study
      sites portrayed herein do not represent the entire array of
      intersections thought to possess potential.  Also, because of the
      limited number of  study sites, the proportion of relatively higher
      impact sites  to lower impact sites is not necessarily characteristic of
      the severity  of CO levels occurring throughout the area.

      3) In a similar vein, there are often substantial uncertainties
      associated  with siting microscale samplers to measure maximum
      concentrations.  Because high CO levels can be a highly localized
      phenomenon, particularly when considered over micro-spatial scales,
      there is a  relatively low theoretical probability of effectively
      weighing contributing factors towards selecting the particular leg, and
      then the particular side of the leg where maximum concentrations are
      most likely to occur.

      4) The study  data  were generated using sampling methods (integrated
      bag samplers)  not  approved by EPA for use as the primary basis for
      NAAQS attainment determinations or the definitive demonstration of
      control strategy effectiveness.  However, these methods have been proven
      to be excellent indicators of absolute ambient CO concentrations.

-------
                          RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
       Data were analyzed for the relative magnitude of CO concentrations
reported at various sites throughout Spokane.  Intersite comparisons between
the study sites and the permanent sites were made.

      Data were summarized for each site in the corridor and central business
district networks, and for each day over all sites in each of the respective
networks.  Summary statistics are primarily depicted in the form of tables and
box-plots.  The box plots portray the distribution of subject data as follows:
maximum value, 2nd maximum,  9th decile, 3rd quartile, mean, median, 1st
quartile, 1st decile,  minimum value.  Also included in the summary plots are
the number of instances the eight-hour NAAQS was exceeded.


Study Long Network Statistics

      As discussed earlier,  CO levels vary considerably across monitoring
sites on a day-to-day basis.   Examining data over the entire study interval
recognizes and dampens this possible volatility in daily inter-site
relationships.  Study-long data are displayed for each of the study sites from
the corridor network (including the continuous Hamilton ('HAM'), Darl Apts.
('DAR'), and Dairy Freeze ('DFE') sites) in Figure 3 and Tables 3 and 5.
Study-long data for the study sites from the central business district network
(including data from the continuous Post Office ('POS'), Liquor Store ('LIQ'),
and Hamilton ('HAM') sites)  are displayed in Figure 4 and Tables 4 and 6.
EPA reference data (not bag sampling data) are reported for the continuous
sites.  What follows are brief descriptions of data features of particular
interest.

Maximum-Eight-Hour-Averages

      Even though the NAAQS is directed to second-high 8-hour averages (on an
annual basis), maximum averages are an appropriate focus for a short-duration
study such as this.

      Corridor Network-

      A. Eight-hour maximums  from the corridor study sites ranged from 5.8 ppm
      (site 15) to 12.0 ppm (site 6).

      B. Eight-hour maximums  recorded at the permanent Hamilton, Darl Apts.,
      and Dairy Freeze sites  were 11.6 ppm, 5.1 ppm,  and 12.4 ppm,
      respectively.

      Central Business District Network-
                                                                           *
      A. Eight-hour maximums  from the CBD study sites ranged from 5.0 ppm
      (site 37) to 13.6 ppm (site 26).

      B. Eight-hour maximums recorded at the permanent Liquor Store and Post
      Office sites were 6.4 ppm and 7.0 ppm, respectively.

Second-Highest-Eight-Hour-Averages

      The eight-hour NAAQS for CO is indexed to the second highest eight-hour
average concentration of CO measured at a given site in a calender year.

      Corridor Network-

      A. Eight-hour second highs from the corridor sites ranged from 5.5 ppm
      (site 8) to 9.0 (site 2).

      B. Eight-hour second highs recorded at the permanent Hamilton, Darl
      Apts., and Dairy Freeze sites were 11.0 ppm, 5.0 ppm, and 11.3 ppm,
      respectively.

      Central Business District-

      A. Eight-hour second highs from the CBD sites ranged from 4.6 ppm (site
      31) to 10.5 ppm (site 26).

      B. Eight-hour second highs recorded at the permanent Liquor Store and
      Post Office sites were 6.2 ppm and 6.6 ppm, respectively.

Frequency-of-Eight-Hour-NAAQS-Exceedances

      This statistic indicates the number of times the 9 ppm eight-hour CO
NAAQS was exceeded at particular sites.

      Corridor Network-

      A. Ten of the twenty-four corridor sites (sites 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,16,21)
      exceeded the level of the standard once over the study period.

      B. The permanent Hamilton, Darl Apts., and Dairy Freeze sites exceeded
      the standard six, three, and zero times respectively over the study
      period.

      Central Business District-

      A. Two of the thirteen CBD sites exceeded the level of the standard.
      Site 26 exceeded the level three times and site 25 exceeded the level
      once.

      B. Neither the permanent Liquor Store or Post Office site exceeded the
      standard over the study period.
                                      17

-------
Means-of-the-Eight-Hour-Averages

      This statistic provides an indication of the chronic nature of CO
concentrations measured at a site over time.

      Corridor Network-

      A. The arithmetic means of daily eight-hour averages from the corridor
      sites ranged from 2.9 ppm (site 8) to 5.3 ppm (site 23).

      B. The arithmetic mean of daily eight-hour averages recorded at  the
      permanent Hamilton, Darl Apts., and Dairy Freeze sites were 6.1  ppm, 5.5
      ppm, and 3.0 ppm, respectively.

      Central Business District-

      A. The arithmetic means of daily eight-hour averages from the CBD sites
      ranged from 2.8 ppm (sites 31 and 37) to 5.5 ppm (site 26).

      B. The arithmetic mean of daily eight-hour averages recorded at  the
      permanent Liquor Store and Post Offices sites were 3.4 ppm, 4.0  ppm,
      respectively.


Daily Network Statistics

      Another facet of the data analysis examined the day-to-day
characteristics of the study data.  This kind of analysis provides a profile
of 'simultaneous' impacts throughout the study area.  Figures 5 and 6  portray
composites of eight-hour concentrations reported from each site in the
corridor network.  The corresponding daily eight-hour average recorded at the
Hamilton site is plotted individually on figures 5 and 6.  Figures 7 and 8
portray composites of eight-hour concentrations reported from each site in the
CBD network.  The corresponding daily eight-hour average recorded at the Post
Office site is plotted individually on figures 7 and 8.  Summary statistics
for the corridor and CBD networks are presented in Tables 7 and 8,
respectively.

Daily-Maximum-Eight-Hour-Average

      The daily maximum value reported from among all sites in the study
network illustrates relative CO magnitudes throughout the network on a daily
basis.  This measure also demonstrates the day-to-day volatility of ambient CO
levels.

      Corridor Network-

      A. The daily maximum eight-hour average reported from the corridor
      network ranged from 2.8 ppm (2/1/89) to 12.0 ppm (12/6/88).
                                      18

-------
      B. Twenty of the twenty-four corridor sites recorded the daily corridor
      network maximum eight-hour average  on at least one day of the study.

      C. Site 22, site 9, and site 19 recorded the daily corridor network
      maximum on 19, 10, and 7 days, respectively.  Sites 2, 7, and 14 each
      recorded the daily corridor network maximum on 6 days.

      D. The permanent Hamilton and Dairy Freeze sites recorded the daily
      corridor network maximum on 21 and 17 days, respectively.

      E. The daily maximum reported from the sites in the corridor network was
      greater than the corresponding concentration at the permanent Hamilton
      site on 32 of  the 53 study days.

      Central Business District-

      A. The daily maximum eight-hour average reported from the CBD network
      ranged from 1.6 ppm (2/1/89) to 13.6 ppm (2/8/89).

      B. Ten of  the  twelve CBD sites recorded the daily CBD network maximum
      eight-hour average  on at least one day of the study.

      C. Site 26 and site 34 recorded the daily CBD network maximum on 26 and
      22 days, respectively.  Sites 36 recorded the daily CBD network maximum
      on 12 days.

      D. The permanent Liquor Store and Post Office sites recorded the daily
      corridor network maximum on 3 and 7 days, respectively.

      E. The daily maximum reported from the sites in the corridor network was
      greater than the corresponding concentration at the permanent Post
      Office site on 46 of the 53 study days.
     ^- Site data were  considered  'tied'  for a particular measure if  they were
within +/- 0.5 ppm of each  other.

     3- Site data were  considered  'tied'  for a particular measure if  they were
within +/- 0.5 ppm of each  other.

Range-of-Daily-Eight-Hour-Averages

      The range of values reported from a study network during a particular
day can provide a valuable index of intersite variability.  In addition,  it
can grossly imply that portion of the daily maximum which could most
conservatively (over-predicting) be attributable to 'background' levels of CO.
For both networks, the largest daily range occurred on the day with the
highest recorded eight-hour value.

      Corridor Network-

      A. The daily range of eight-hour averages ranged from 1.9 ppm (2/1/89)
      to 10.2 ppm (12/6/88) for the corridor network.

      Central Business District-

      A. The daily range of eight-hour averages ranged from 1.0 ppm (12/6/88)
      to 10.1 ppm (2/8/89) for the CBD network.

Average-Daily-Network-Eight-Hour-Averages

      This statistic illustrates the average CO levels occurring at the
maximum impact areas in Spokane on a daily basis.

      Corridor Network-

      A.  The daily arithmetic mean ranged from 7.7 ppm (12/15/88) to 1.5
      (2/1/89) for the corridor sites.

      Central Business District-

      A.  The daily arithmetic mean ranged from 5.9 ppm (12/15/89 and 2/8/89)
      to 1.2 ppm (2/1/89) for the CBD sites.


Sample Interval Comparison

      The selected eight-hour sampling interval (11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.)
generally represented the eight-hour period with the highest CO level on a
daily basis.  However, on several days, the Hamilton monitor recorded the
daily maximum eight-hour values during later intervals (i.e. ending hour 8:00
P.M. to 12:00 midnight).  In fact, the highest values recorded at the Hamilton
site during study period occurred over later eight-hour periods.  For example,
the highest eight-hour value recorded at the Hamilton site during the study
period was 14.3 ppm, which occurred during the interval from 2:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m.
                                      26

-------
Hamilton Sub-Netvork

      CO levels recorded at the study sites in the vicinity of the permanent
Hamilton site are displayed on the following bar-graphs.  The nine days
displayed reflect days which at least one site in the sub-network exceeded
the level of the standard.

      As depicted in  the bar-graphs, on four days (12/6, 12/8, 12/16, 2/9) a
number of the study sites were higher than the Hamilton site.  Conversely, on
four other days (12/5, 12/9, 12/10, 12/12) the Hamilton site was higher than
any of the study sites.  The bar-graph for December 15, the day with the most
number of exceedances, shows that CO levels were above the standard at a
number of locations in the area.

                              QUALITY ASSURANCE


      As referenced previously, a quality assurance (QA) project plan was
developed and ordered to the study.  Although the study data resulted in
sufficient precision and accuracy to have achieved the study objectives, the
degree of uncertainty (+/- 2.0 ppm) associated with the data is greater than
what is normally attained with this type of study.  The following is a brief
synopsis of the precision and accuracy of the study data.

Sampling Precision

      Two pairs of integrated samplers were collocated (within 2 meters) to
quantify the extent of variability (precision) associated with the sampling
method.  The precision results for this study had a large degree of
variability.  The average absolute difference between the collocated samplers
at site 33 was 0.5 ppm.  The absolute difference was greater than 2.0 ppm on 2
of the 52 sample pairs (absolute dif. of 2.6 and 3.6 ppm).  The average
absolute difference between the samplers at site 2 was 0.7 ppm.  The absolute
difference was greater than 2.0 ppm on 2 of the 53 sample pairs (absolute dif.
of 3.2 and 5.5 ppm).

      Thorough review of the sampling documentation (% of bag filled, bag
leaks, pump rates, ect.) did not reveal an explanation for any of the
significant differences.

Sampling Accuracy

      Two integrated bag samplers were collocated with the continuous
analyzers (site 10 and 'DFE'; site 16 and 'DAR').  While in a strict technical
sense this was not a true audit of sampler accuracy (since an absolute
standard was not directly employed) it was assumed that the data from the
continuous analyzer were of sufficiently higher quality that they were
considered a "quasi" audit source.  This also provided a measure of method
comparability.  Because of logistical problems, a bag sampler could not be
collocated with the permanent Hamilton site.

      The average absolute difference between the data from the bag sampler
and the continuous analyzer at the Dairy Freeze site ('DFE') was 0.7 ppm.  On
average the analyzer data was 19.8% higher than the bag sampler data.   The
absolute difference between the methods was larger than 2.0 ppm for 10 of the
38 sample pairs (up to 4.1 ppm difference).  On 8 of the 10 days with a
discrepancy greater than 2.0 ppm, the analyzer was higher than the bag
sampler.

      The average absolute difference between the data from the bag sampler
and the analyzer at the Darl Apts. site ('DAR') was 0.6 ppm.  On average the
analyzer was 19.4% higher than the bag sampler.  The absolute difference
between the methods was larger than 2.0 ppm for 2 of the 28 sample pairs (up
to 6.3 ppm difference).  On both of the days with a discrepancy greater than
2.0 ppm, the sampler was higher than  the analyzer.


                                      37

-------
Analytical Precision

      The Dasibi 3003 CO analyzer used for analysis of bag samples was
challenged before and after each analysis session with precision and or span
atmospheres traceable to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).  Control
limits of +/- 0.5 ppm, as indicated in the project QA plan,  were upheld to
control instrument drift and ensure a high degree of analytical precision.

Analytical Accuracy

      The Dasibi CO analyzer was audited once with test atmospheres traceable
to NBS to evaluate its response to known an absolute concentrations of CO.
The analyzers performance during the audit was in conformance with the
criteria outlined in the project QA plan.

                     CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


      The major conclusions and recommendations arising from this study are as
follows:
1)  Twelve of the thirty six study sites exceeded the level of the CO NAAQS
over the study period.  Of  the four permanent CO monitors in Spokane, only the
Hamilton site exceeded  the  CO NAAQS during the study.  Exceedance level CO
concentrations were primarily recorded near heavily travelled roadways,
including Hamilton street,  Division street, and 3rd Avenue.

2)  The permanent Hamilton  monitor recorded more CO exceedances than any of
the study sites.  On a  daily basis, the permanent Hamilton site was most
frequently the highest  site relative  to all the study sites.  However, on
over half of the study  days, at least one of the study sites recorded higher
CO levels than those reported at  the  Hamilton site.

3)  The Dairy Freeze temporary continuous analyzer (located directly across
the street from the Hamilton monitor) and the Hamilton monitor, recorded CO
levels that were of similar magnitude.  While there was substantial
variability between the two sites on  a daily basis, the highest CO levels
recorded at each of the sites over the study period were essentially
equivalent.  The maximum and 2nd  maximum 8-hour CO values recorded at the
Dairy Freeze site were  slightly higher than those recorded at the Hamilton
site, but the Hamilton  site recorded  a larger number of values above the CO
NAAQS.

4)  The study data indicate the permanent Hamilton site adequately represents
areas of maximum impact in  Spokane.   While the Hamilton site appears to
represent the area that exceeds the CO NAAQS with the greatest frequency, it
also represents a large array of  CO problem areas located throughout the
Spokane Corridor grid.  Thus, the Hamilton site is not an isolated 'hot-spot'
CO problem area.  For example, the Hamilton site recorded the highest value on
only five of the ten days an exceedance was recorded from among all the study
sites.  Finally, the Hamilton-Dairy Freeze comparison shows that the permanent
Hamilton monitor adequately characterizes CO impacts throughout the air parcel
near the Hamilton-Sharp intersection  on a season-long basis.

5)  The permanent Liquor store and Post Office sites adequately represent the
magnitude and frequency of  maximum impacts occurring in the core central
business district area.   However, the study data indicate the maximum CO
levels along 3rd Avenue, which is on  the periphery of downtown, are
significantly higher than those in downtown proper.

6)  It is recommended that  new permanent sites be established near 3rd Avenue
and along Division street.  The purpose of these sites will be to measure  •
maximum CO levels and establish definitive comparisons to the Hamilton site.
No additional changes to the permanent network are recommended at this time.
                                      39

-------
7)  Because a number of technical problems were encountered, the study data
have a significant degree of associated uncertainty.   The study data are
generally considered to be accurate within +/- 2.0 ppm.   While this level of
uncertainty exceeds that typically associated with studies of this kind, the
foregoing conclusions and recommendations are advanced with a high degree of
technical confidence.

8)  The vast proportion (85-90%) of the CO measured at street-side locations
is believed to be attributable to automotive emissions.   However,  measurement
of the highest CO levels during later eight-hour intervals suggests the
possibility of a higher quotient of contribution from residential  wood
combustion emissions.  It is plausible,  however,  that more stagnant conditions
exist later in the evening reducing the dispersion of automotive emissions.
These potential scenarios should be further investigated.
