1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual is the data dictionary for the Air Quality Subsystem of AIRS, the Aerometric Information
Retrieval System. It describes the AQS database files, records, and fields, and user-requested work files
generated by the Air Quality Retrieval Subsystem.
The data dictionary is organized by sections. Section 2.0 describes the AQS database fields. The fields
are presented in alphabetical order, one field definition per page. Field definitions include the Field
Name, Description, Source, Default Header, and Default Report Format.
Section 3.0 describes the AQS database files. Each file description includes a narrative explaining the
purpose, content, and use of the file, a physical description of each record type contained in the file, a
list of descriptors associated with each record type, and a list of transactions that update each record type.
Section 4.0 describes AQS work files which may be generated and catalogued upon user request. Most
of these work files are used to produce reports. Each work file description includes a narrative
explaining the purpose, content, and use of the file, information about the physical file, a physical
description of each record type contained in the file, and a list explaining the origin of each work record
field.
Appendix A is the Field Index. It lists the database field names in alphabetical order. The page numbers
of all references to the field throughout Sections 2.0 and 3.0 of the data dictionary are contained in the
Field Index. This provides a convenient cross-reference between database
fields, and the database files and records in which they are stored.
Other manuals exist that can provide additional information. A list of people to contact for information
or assistance with AIRS is given in Volume AA1 of the AIRS User's Guide. Validation of database fields
updated by AIRS transactions is discussed in Volume AQ2. Volume GC2, which lists and explains AIRS
codes, is another important source of information. AIRS codes are used to specify selection criteria for
the reports. They also appear in generated reports and files. Information about computer center
procedures can be found in the "NCC-IBM User's Guide". Manuals about specific software products
such as ADABAS and NATURAL are available from software vendors.

Volume AQ1 AQS Data Dictionary
2.0 AQS DATABASE FIELDS
This section of the dictionary describes the AQS database fields. The fields are presented in alphabetical
order, one field definition per page. Field definitions include the Field Name, Description, Source,
Default Header, and Default Report Format.
The Description field discusses the meaning of the field as used in the AQS database. The Source lists
the origin of each field contained in the database. The Default Header is the default report column
heading. The Default Report Format specifies how the field will be formatted for printing. The Default
Header and Default Report Format are used by the Ad hoc batch software. Unless overridden, these
defaults are used whenever a NATURAL write or display instruction is executed.
Fields with similar names and meanings are grouped together by a generic field name and description that
appropriately defines each field within the group. For example, instead of using separate entries for the
percentile fields PCNTILE-10, PCNTILE-30, PCNTILE-50, etc., these fields are defined together using
the group field name PCNTILE-n. Each field within the group is listed in both the generic field
definition and the Index.
For secured monitors, references to AM-COMPOSITE, AM-DAILY, AM-HOURLY, and
AM-SUMMARY records and files can be read as AM-COMPOSITE-SEC, AM-DAILY-SEC,
AM-HOURLY-SEC and AM-SUMMARY-SEC, respectively.
Validation is discussed in the AIRS User's Guide, Volume AQ2, for those fields updated by AQS
transactions. Valid codes are listed in the AIRS User's Guide, Volume GC2.
Acronyms and abbreviations used in the field definitions:
AQCR Air Quality Control Region
AREAL Atmospheric Research and Exposure Assessment Laboratory

MSL Mean Sea Level
NAMS National Air Monitoring Stations
NBS National Bureau of Standards
NCC National Computer Center
SLAMS State and Local Air Monitoring Stations
SRM Standard Reference Material
SRP Standard Reference Photometer
UTM Universal Transverse Mercator
The Default Report Format is used by the ad-hoc software and specifies how a field will be formatted
for printing in NATURAL reports unless the default is overridden. The symbols used and examples of
resulting printed values are shown below.

Description
This field contains five occurrences representing the year and the four quarters.
The quarterly lower probability limits for the monitor and year are calculated from Data Assessment raw-
data. The level refers to the pollutant concentration range. If the field contains a value, it consists of
a sign (+,-) followed by two digits.
Estimates of the accuracy of manual methods are calculated from the results of independent audits. At
the end of each calendar quarter, an integrated accuracy probability interval is calculated for each manual
method network.
Estimates of the accuracy of automated methods are calculated from the results of independent audits.
At the end of each calendar quarter, an integrated accuracy probability interval for all SLAMS analyzers
audited is calculated for each pollutant. The probability limit is calculated for the audit concentration
level:

Results from non-approved analyzers are not included in the calculation. If only one audit is performed

Description
This field contains five occurrences representing the year and the four quarters.
The quarterly lower probability limits for the reporting organization, and year are calculated from Data
Assessment raw data. The level refers to the pollutant concentration range. If the field contains a value,
it consists of a sign (+,-) followed by two digits.
Estimates of the accuracy of manual methods are calculated from the results of independent audits. At
the end of each calendar quarter, an integrated accuracy probability interval is calculated for each manual
method network operated by the reporting organization.
Estimates of the accuracy of automated methods are calculated from the results of independent audits.
At the end of each calendar quarter, an integrated accuracy probability interval for all SLAMS analyzers
audited in the reporting organization is calculated for each pollutant. The probability limit is calculated
for the audit concentration level:

EST-DAYS-GR-STD-n
EST-DAYS-GR-STD
EST-DAYS-GR-STD-EPA
Description
The estimated number of days greater than the standard is computed for ozone and PM-10 and is utilized
to determine whether the standard is attained. It is computed whenever a measured value exceeds the
standard value for the monitor/year or quarter (or for ozone, the monitor ozone season/year or quarter).
The assumption is made that the missing data values are just as likely to exceed the standard as the
reported values. EST-DAYS-GR-STD-EPA applies to PM-10 monitors only. EST-DAYS-GR-STD
applies to PM-10 and ozone. For PM-10, EST-DAYS-GR-STD and EST-DAYS-GR-STD-EPA are
equal, unless FIRST-EXCEED-CORRECTION-ST and FIRST-EXCEED-CORRECTION-EPA are not
equal.

NOTE: For Ozone, the summary values from the
AM-SUMMARY File and the frequency counts from the
AM-HOURLY File both apply to daily maximum values
rather than the reported 1-hour observations. The four
highest daily maximum values, and the dates for the first and
second highest, are retrieved from the AM-SUMMARY File.
The dates and times for the third and fourth highest values
must be derived from the data in the AM-HOURLY File. A
valid daily maximum value can be derived only if one of the
following conditions is satisfied:
1. At least nine hourly observations were reported during
the twelve-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m
(start hours 09 through 20), or
2. Any hourly observation reported during the 24-hour
period exceeds the national primary standard for
Ozone.
If either of these conditions is satisfied, the daily maximum
value is the first occurrence of the largest reported hourly
observation in the 24-hour period. Please refer to description

For Carbon Monoxide, SLAMS Transaction R: The highest
8-hour running average CO value that is less than or equal to

original observations that yielded the first maximum. After
computing the first maximum, list it and the eight next highest
8-hour averages ordered by decreasing magnitude. If two
values have the same magnitude, order them chronologically.
The second maximum is the first value in the list that
occurred at least eight hours before or after any value higher
in the list. The reason for this method is to avoid the
influence of spikes in the original raw data that cause plateaus
in the running averages.

System-generated for AM-SLAMS record from OBS-CNT field, occurrences 2-5, of selected
AM-SUMMARY record when INTERVAL = 7. When INTERVAL = C, use the sum of
CNT-SAMPLES fields from selected AM-COMPOSITE record. For each quarter, the value of
COMP-TYPE in the AM-COMPOSITE record determines how many occurrences of CNT-SAMPLES
there are. If COMP-TYPE = 1, quarterly, the four occurrences of CNT-SAMPLES equal the number
of observations for each of the four quarters of the year. If COMP-TYPE = 2, the record contains
seasonal data. Although the report prints data for the four calendar quarters, the four occurrences of
CNT-SAMPLES in the seasonal composite record are treated as quarters one through four, even though
data are stored by season (i.e., first occurrence contains data for December - February, the second for
March - May, etc.). If COMP-TYPE = 3, the record contains monthly data and the sum of occurrences
one through three (January - March) is the number of observations in the first quarter, etc. If
COMP-TYPE = 4, the record contains weekly data, and occurrences 1-13 are added to get the first
quarter's data, 14-26 are added to get the second quarter's data, 27-39 are added to get the third quarter's
data, and 40-53 (note that the fourth quarter has 14 weeks) are added to get the fourth quarter's. If

Data Quality Assessment raw data. If the field contains a value, it consists of a sign (+,-) followed by
two digits.
Estimates of the precision of automated methods are calculated from the results of biweekly precision
checks. At the end of each calendar quarter, an integrated precision probability for ail SLAMS analyzers
in the organization is calculated for each pollutant.
Estimates of the precision of manual methods are calculated from the results obtained from collocated
samplers. At the end of each calendar quarter, an integrated precision probability interval for all
collocated samplers operating in the reporting organization is calculated for each manual method in the
network.
The yearly occurrence stores the average of all precision upper probability limits year-to-date for a
reporting organization. If the field contains a value, it consists of a sign (+,-) followed by two digits.

The quarterly calculation as specified in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix A is:
For Automated Methods:
Upper 95 Percent Probability Limit = D + 1.96 Sa
For Manual Methods:
Upper 95 Percent Probability Limit = D -I- 1.96 S. / V2
where D = average of the averages of individual percentage differences between audit
concentrations and indicated concentrations for all analyzers measuring a
given pollutant audited during the quarter

3.0 ADABAS FILES
This section describes the AIRS database files and logical records of the AIRS database and other closely
related files used in the AIRS Air Quality data dictionary. The files are listed in alphabetic order. Each
file description includes a narrative explaining the purpose, content, and use of the file, a physical
description of each logical record type contained in the file, and a list of descriptors associated with each
logical record type.
The physical description of each record type contained in the file consists of the ADABAS level number,
the external field name, ADABAS characteristics (name, format, length, options), and the maximum
number of times a field may occur within a logical record occurrence.
The following ADABAS formats describe AIRS fields:
1. A - alphanumeric;
2. U - unpacked numeric, no sign;
3. US - unpacked numeric, signed.
The following ADABAS options describe AIRS fields:
1. D - descriptor field;
2. F - fixed compression;
3. GR - group field type;
4. MU - multiple value field;
5. N - null value suppression;
6. PE-periodicgroup.

3.1 AM-COMPOSITE FILE
The Composite File is one of the three types of AIRS "raw data" files. It contains the concentrations of
air pollutants as measured by air monitoring equipment. All the concentration values in the Composite
File are derived from composite air samples. In the composite sampling technique, two or more air
samples obtained at different times are combined and analyzed as one sample. This yields something of
an average concentration for the time period during which the individual samples were collected. There
are five types, or time periods, of composite samples: weekly, monthly, quarterly, seasonal, and annual.
Values in each Composite Record identify the time period of the composite data and specify how many
individual air samples were combined to obtain the composite result.
September 1993 3-2 AM-COMPOSITE FILE
-------
AIRS User's Guide
Volume AQ1 AQS Data Dictionary
3.1.1 COMPOSITE RECORD
The Composite Record has two main parts. The HEADER-GROUP identifies the source and type of
data. The SAMPLE-DATA-GROUP contains the data values. There is one instance of SAMPLE-
DATA-GROUP for each composite data value reported by a monitor during a calendar year.
If, during the year, any of the identifiers (or the MIN-DET-VALUE) in the HEADER-GROUP changes,
a new record is created. Thus, there may be multiple records to hold the data reported by a monitor
during the year.
Each record of the Composite File holds all the data for a period as long as a year that was sampled and
analyzed using a particular method, and reported in the same unit of measure. Each time the sampling
method or reporting units changes during a year, a separate record is used to hold the data for the ensuing
time period. The maximum number of values in a record depends on the time period of the composite
data (composite type). The number of values ranges from one for an annual composite to 53 for a weekly
composite. Monthly and quarterly composites are the most common types.
Data for the Composite File comes from type-3 AIRS input transactions. Each type 3 transaction supplies
one composite value with a decimal position indicator to determine actual reading, the number of samples
used to determine the sample value, and a validity flag (if necessary) for the sample value, for an
appropriate time period. For example, a type 3 transaction supplies one of the 12 monthly composite
values, and identifies the month to which it pertains.
The raw data fields Monitor-Type, Method, and Unit can be changed at any time. When these changes
are allowed, a new raw data record is created causing multiple records for the same time period.
In the Composite record, Validity-Flag indicates the reason for an abnormal observation. 'V indicates
that high value has been checked and found valid but not caused by an exceptional event. A lower-case
value other than 'V indicates the state has flagged the value as being caused by an exceptional event.
The state must provide the EPA regional office with documentation on the occurrence of the exceptional
event. An upper-case character indicates that RO has concurred with the determination and the data were
updated from an ADBA screening file, which causes the Update Program to write a capital letter.
The SAMPLE-VALUE in the Composite record is a numeric value that represents an observation or a
missing data reason code. If the value represents an observation, then DP-IND is used to determine the
actual sample reading. For some PARAMETERS, upper limits have been established for observations,
and the numeric value entered cannot exceed that maximum (unless a validity flag with a value is also
entered). DP-IND must be blank for the sample value to be interpreted as a "missing data reason code".

3.2 AM-COMPOSITE-SEC FILE
The Secured Composite File holds the same kind of information as the Composite File, but the
information is not public. It can be acessed only by the organization submitting the data. Such data
might be supplied by a nongovernmental organization, or it might result from experimental sampling
methods.
The organization of the Secured Composite File and its source of data (transaction type 3) are exactly the
same as the public Composite File. However, the Secured Composite Record has one additional field,
SECURITY-VALUE, that is used to control access to the record. See the (public) Composite File for
a description of file organization and an explanation of record content and format.

3.3 AM-DAILYFILE
The Daily File is the second of the three types of AIRS "raw data" files. It contains the concentrations
of various air pollutants as measured by air monitoring equipment throughout the U.S. All the
concentration values in the Daily File are derived from air samples collected for a time period of 24 hours
or more, then analyzed. For example, by drawing air through a filter for 24 hours and then weighing
the filter, one can determine the total amount of paniculate matter in the sampled air. Based on the
volume of air sampled, one can compute the average concentration of paniculate matter in the air during
the 24-hour sampling interval.
The predominant sampling interval of data in the Daily File is 24 hours, but longer intervals are also
valid. The longer sampling intervals are 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year. The monitors using sampling
intervals at the shorter end of that range usually do not sample the air continuously. For example, many
monitors of paniculate matter collect one 24-hour air sample every sixth day. The sampling frequency
field in the Daily File tells how often a monitor takes a sample.
A record of the Daily File can hold pollutant concentration values for each day of six months. In
addition, each record contains codes that identify the monitor, the method used to collect and analyze air
samples, the dates when the air samples were collected, the units of measure in which pollutant
concentrations are expressed, sampling frequency, and the minimum concentration that could be measured
reliably during the time period. Normally, two Daily records hold one year's data for a given monitor.
The first record holds the sample values for the days of the first six months of a year and the second
record holds the sample values for the days of the second six months of a year. If a monitor's sampling
interval, sampling method, sampling frequency, or reporting units changes within the date span of a
record, there is a separate Daily record for each combination of interval, method, sampling frequency.
and units. Reporting units can only change at the beginning of the month; sampling interval can only
change at the beginning of a year; sampling frequency can change at any time.
Data for a Daily File comes primarily from type 2 AIRS input transactions. Each type 2 transaction
supplies the pollutant concentration value with a decimal position indicator that determines actual sample
reading, start hour of sample, and validity flag (if appropriate) derived from one air sample. The type
2 transaction identifies the year, month, day, and hour of the day when collection of the air sample
began.
Two other AIRS transaction types may be used to provide ancillary information for the Daily File. The
type Z transaction specifies the minimum value that can be measured reliably by the monitor. A
minimum detectable value supplied by a type Z transaction overrides the national default value established
for the sampling and analysis methods used. Type 1 or type 4 AIRS input transactions may be used to
put a "missing data reason code" in the Daily File in place of a measured pollutant. The code indicates
why it was not possible or feasible to obtain an air sample for that time period. The decimal position
indicator is blank for "missing data reason codes".

3.3.1 DAILY RECORD
The Daily Record has three main parts. The HEADER-GROUP and SAMPLE-DESC-GROUP identify
the source and type of data (the monitor) and its characteristics (method, units, etc.). The SAMPLE-
DATA-GROUP contains the data values. This part of the record holds the reported pollutant
concentration values (or missing data reason codes). Each SAMPLE-DATA-GROUP holds the values
for a month. The position of the value indicates the day of the month. For example, a value for March
20 would be stored as the 20th value in SAMPLE-DATA-GROUPS.
This record holds Air Quality Daily data of half the year's data (YEAR-SEGMENT indicates which half)
with month being positional PE groups allowing up to 31 data values per month. Type 2 transactions
are used to provide data about parameters with non-composite sampling intervals of 24 hours or greater
at a site. A type 4 transaction is used to deal with missing value reason codes (null values) over a given
time period, which could be one day or as long as several years.
The raw data fields Monitor Type, Method, and Sample-Frequency can be changed at any time. Unit
may be changed at the start of the month. When these changes are allowed, a new raw data record is
created, causing multiple records for the same time period.
In the Daily Record, Validity-Flags 1 through 6 indicate the reason for an abnormal observation. 'V
indicates that high value has been checked and found valid but not caused by an exceptional event. A
lower-case value other than 'V indicates the state has flagged the value as being caused by an exceptional
event. The state must provide the EPA regional office with documentation on the occurrence of the
exceptional event. An upper-case character indicates that RO has concurred with the determination and
the data were updated from an ADBA screening file, which causes the Update Program to write a capital
letter.
The SAMPLE-VALUE in the Daily Record is a numeric value that represents an observation or a missing
value reason code. If the value represents an observation, then DP-n is used to determine the actual
sample reading. For some PARAMETERS, upper limits have been established for observations, and the
numeric value entered cannot exceed that maximum (unless a validity flag with a value is also entered).
DP-n must be blank for the sample value to be interpreted as a missing reason value code.

3.5 AM-HOURLY FILE
The Hourly File is the third of the three types of AIRS "raw data" files. It contains the concentrations
of various air pollutants as measured by air monitoring equipment throughout the U.S. The concentration
values are derived from air samples collected for time periods of less than 24 hours. Most of the values
result from equipment that continuously monitors the concentration of a pollutant and reports a value
hourly, which may be an average for the hour. The Hourly File also contains some concentration values
that are 3-, 8-, or 24-hour averages computed from the reported hourly values.
One hour is the shortest sampling interval of data in the Hourly File, and it is the predominant interval.
Although sampling intervals of 2, 3, 6, and 12 hours are also valid, they are rarely used. For two
pollutants, the amount of computed averaged data equals or exceeds the amount of reported hourly data.
In addition, both 3-hour and 24-hour averages of sulfur dioxide hourly data are computed and stored in
the Hourly File, as well as the 8-hour average of carbon moonoxide hourly data.
A record of the Hourly File can hold pollutant concentration values for each of the 24 hours of eight
days. In addition, each record contains codes that identify the monitor, the method used to collect and
analyze air samples, the dates when the air samples were collected, the units of measure in which
pollutant concentrations are expressed, and the minimum concentration that could be measured reliably
during the time period. The first three records hold the data for the first 24 days of the month, and the
fourth record holds the last four to seven days of the month. If a monitor's sampling method changes
within the date span of a record, there is a separate Hourly record for each combination of interval,
method, and units. Reporting units can only change at the beginning of a month; sampling interval can
only change at the beginning of a year. In the case of computed average values, there may be two
Hourly records for the same time period if any "exceptional event" (dust storm, volcanic eruption, etc.)
affected the reported concentration values. In that case, one record contains the averages computed using
the exceptional values, and the other record contains the averages obtained by excluding the exceptional
values from the computations. In addition, both 3-hour and 24-hour averages of sulfur dioxide hourly
data are computed and stored in the Hourly File, as well as the 8-hour average of carbon monoxide
hourly data.
The reported values in the Hourly File come primarily from type 1 AIRS input transactions. (The
average values in the Hourly File are computed by AIRS software, not supplied by any transaction.)
Each type 1 transaction supplies the pollutant concentration values with a decimal position indicator that
determines sample reading, and a validity flag value (if appropriate) for an 8-hour time period of a day.
The transaction also identifies the monitor, the sampling method, the reporting units, the date, and the
starting hour of the 8-hour period.
Transaction types Z and 4 can supply ancillary information (minimum detectable value and "missing data
codes") for the Hourly File. See the Daily File section of this document for a description of these
transaction types. Transaction type 1 may also provide "missing data codes".

AQS Data Dictionary Volume AQ1
3.5.1 HOURLY RECORD
The Hourly Record has two main parts. The HEADER-GROUP identifies the source, type of data (the
monitor), monitor attributes (sampling interval, analysis method, etc.) and the sampling date. The
SAMPLE-DATA-GROUP parts of the record hold reported pollutant concentration values and/or missing
data reason codes, or they hold computed average concentration values. Each SAMPLE-DATA-GROUP
holds the values for one day. The hour of a value is determined by its occurrence number within a
SAMPLE-DATA-GROUP. Occurrence number one means sampling began at midnight, while occurrence
18 means sampling began at six o'clock p.m. This record holds Air Quality Hourly data of one-fourth
the month's data (MONTH-SEGMENT indicates which fourth) with the day being positional PE groups
allowing up to 24 data values per day. The transaction type 1 is used for parameter observations with
sampling intervals at a site for less than 24 hours. Type 1 transactions insert, modify, or delete raw data
values in the Hourly File of the AIRS database. A type 4 transaction is used to deal with missing value
reason codes (null values) over a given time period, which could be one day or several years.
The raw data fields Monitor-Type and Method can be changed at any time. When these changes are
allowed, a new raw data record is created, causing multiple records for the same time period.
In the Hourly-Record, Validity-Flag indicates the reason for an abnormal observation. *V indicates that
high value has been checked and found valid but not caused by an exceptional event. A lower-case value
other than 'V indicates the state has flagged the value as being caused by an exceptional event. The state
must provide the EPA regional office with documentation on the occurrence of the exceptional event.
An upper-case character indicates that RO has concurred with the determination and the data were
updated from an ADBA screening file, which causes the Update Program to write a capital letter.

3.7 AM-PA-MO-DATA FILE
The AM-PA-MO-DATA File contains the precision and accuracy audit results for monitors for a
pollutant. The raw data values reflect the precision and accuracy of the measurement process from which
the measurement data is obtained.
Precision assessments are determined by performing repeated measurements of ambient-level "calibration"
gases at two-week intervals for continuous analyzers, or by obtaining duplicate results from collocated
samplers for manual methods. The accuracy assessments indicate the agreement between an analyzer
measurement and a known audit standard concentration for continuous analyzers, or the agreement
between an observed value and a known or reference value for manual methods.
The AM-PA-MO-DATA File has one record type. The following pages contain a description of this
record type.

3.10.2 MONITOR RECORD
The Monitor Record contains detailed information about air quality monitoring stations. The monitoring
station information includes parameter, POC, monitor type, effective date, the last administration action,
sample collection and analysis labs, reporting organization and its effective date, dominant source of
pollution, measurement scale, probe description information, status of siting criteria and the effective
date, whether a reference method is used and the date it began, the date the monitor began and ended
sampling, the date of the last EPA audit, the monitoring objective and the distance, and PM-10 specific
data. Monitor transaction types Fl through F5 are used to update monitor information in the Site File.
The EPA region, AQCR, MSA, urban area, and city are stored in the monitor record even though they
are input from the site level transactions Al through A7.
User screening files are allocated to each organization or group of AIRS users submitting data. All data
(transactions) for a particular monitor must come from the same screening file group from which the
initial transaction came. Each monitor is "owned" by its screening file group and can only be updated
from a screening file in that group.
The monitor record identifies the specific purpose (function, task, or project) and parameter being
monitored at a site. There may be more than one monitor per site.

3.10.3 HISTORY RECORD
The History Record is created by the AIRS UPDATE program whenever specific site and/or monitor
fields are modified. This update process is invoked by the AIRS database administrator and applies
Screening File transactions to AIRS. Reference the AIRS User's Guide, Volume AQ3: Air Quality Data
Storage, for more detailed information on UPDATE.
Most site-level changes are considered corrections and do not create a History Record. Changes to the
following Site-Record fields will generate a History Record: SUPPORT-AGENCY, LAND-USE, and
LOCATION-SETTING.
When the Monitor Record is modified, a History Record is generated for each modified field except the
grouping of MONITOR-TYPE and DATE-TYPE-EFF, REPORT-ORG and RO-EFFECTIVE-DATE,
REQ-SAMPLING-FREQ-ST and RSF-EFFECTIVE-DATE-ST, or REQ-SAMPLING-FREQ-EPA and
RSF-EFFECTIVE-DATE-EPA, which are generated as a combination. When the new date (DATE-
TYPE-EFF, RO-EFFECTIVE-DATE, RSF-EFFECTIVE-DATE-ST, or RSF-EFFECTIVE-DATE-EPA)
is less than the old date, a History Record is not generated. When the current new date is less than the
old date of an existing History Record, the existing History Record is deleted. The historical information
for the monitor type, reporting organization, and required sampling frequency (state and EPA) consists
of:
old value (MONITOR-TYPE-HIST or REPORT-ORG-HIST),
old value effective date (OLD-INFO-HIST)
new value effective date (NEW-INFO-HIST), and
date changed (DATE-CHANGE-EFF-HIST).
The historical information for all other site and monitoring station data consists of:
first 6 characters of old value (OLD-1NFO-HTST)
first 6 characters of new value (NEW-INFO-HIST), and
date changed (DATE-CHANGE-EFF-HIST).

3.11 AM-SLAMSFILE
The SLAMS file has annual summaries for monitors at State and Local Air Monitoring Sites (SLAMS)
and Nation Air Monitoring Sites (NAMS). The information in the SLAMS files is supplied by the
organizations that operate the sites, who certify its accuracy.
The SLAMS File contains the AIRS monitor-ID, state, county, site, parameter, POC, interval, year,
methods, units, whether or not the data includes exceptional event data, and the number of 1- and 24-hour
observations made during the year. The file also contains the number of values that fall within eight
pollutant-specific ranges (there are nine ranges for PM-10) and frequency information for all pollutants
except lead.
The SLAMS File has six record types. These record types provide summary information about data from
SLAMS monitors. The record types are: SLAMS-CO Record, SLAMS-N02 Record, SLAMS-03
Record, SLAMS-PB Record, SLAMS-PM Record, and SLAMS-S02 Record. The following pages
contain a description of the six record types.

S02 (sulfur dioxide).
The SLAMS-S02 record has three main parts. HEADER-GROUP contains the source and type of data;
FREQUENCY-GROUP contains the number of observations of pollutant concentrations that fall within
a particular range of values; and DATA-GROUP-S02 contains the reported pollutant concentration
values.
This record holds Air Quality SLAMS SO2 data. SLAMS transaction types P and V are used to update
SLAMS S02 information in the SLAMS File.
The EXCEPT-D ATA-FLAG indicates whether or not exceptional event data is included in the transaction.
For example, "0" would represent no exception reported and "2" would represent exception reported and
used.

3.11.6 SLAMS-PB RECORD
The Air Quality SLAMS PB record contains 'state and local air monitoring' report data for pollutant Pb
(lead). The data for lead is stored in the SLAMS record by quarters. Each group contains the stored
data (no. of samples, arithmetic mean and sum-criteria).
The SLAMS-PB record has three main parts. HEADER-GROUP contains the source and type of data;
FREQUENCY-GROUP is not valued for lead; and DATA-GROUP-PB contains the reported pollutant
concentration values.
This record holds Air Quality SLAMS PB data. SLAMS transaction type U is used to update SLAMS-PB
information in the SLAMS File.
The EXCEPT-DATA-FLAG indicates whether or not exceptional event data is included in the transaction.
For example, "0" would represent no exception reported and "2" would represent exception reported and
used.

3.12 SCREENING FILE
The Screening File contains transactions loaded from an input transaction file or created by on-line
terminal input mode of the AIRS Correct Program. The transaction types are defined in the AIRS User's
Guide, Volume AQ2. The records are formatted with header/body/trailer segments. The Screening File
is edited, modified, and used to update the Air Quality Files in the AIRS Database. The Screening File
also contains the monitor-ID, date, action code, trans type, key other, trans body, user-ID, edit level, and
excluded flag. For additional information, three transaction types are included:
Hourly Data - Start hour
Eight sample values and validity flags
Daily Data - Start hour
Sampling frequency
Sample value
Validity flag
Composite Data - Composite period
Number of samples in the composite value
Composite type
Sample value
Validity flag
The purpose of a screening file is to hold the AIRS transactions that are going to update the master
database. Generally, a particular screening file is dedicated to a single batch of AIRS transactions from
the time they are loaded into the sceening file until they are used to update the AIRS database. However,
there is no requirement that a file be used that way. Several batches of transactions could be loaded into
a screening file and processed together.
All the DATA STORAGE processes use a screening file in some way.

3.12.1 SCREENING RECORD
The screening files, belonging primarily to the state and local agencies, contain transaction data for
updating the AIRS Air Quality files. These files will have the same record format but unique AD ABAS
names.
Each screening file record contains a copy of an AIRS input transaction plus some control fields used by
the Data Storage processes. For example, the edit level field tells what types of edit checks the record
has passed.

3.13 SUMMARY FILE
The Summary File contains calculated values of concentrations of a parameter (pollutant), sampled at a
site which has been summarized for a quarter or year. A record contains four quarterly and one yearly
summary of data. The file includes Header and Summary Group information which consists of descriptive
items. The key fields and groups are monitor-ID, monitor type,method of collection and analysis,
interval, standard units and quarterly and yearly summary statistics (number of observations, number of
values exceeding primary and secondary standards, flagged values, minimum reported value, estimated
days greater than standard (for ozone and PM-10 monitors), first- and second-maximum observations and
times, arithmetic mean (weighted arithmetic mean for PM-10 monitors), and number of non-overlapping
violations.
The summaries are derived from raw data values in the Hourly, Daily, and Composite files, and include
items of common interest such as the maximum and the mean pollutant concentrations reported by a
monitor.

3.13.1 SUMMARY RECORD
The Summary Report has two main parts. HEADER-GROUP contains the source and type of data and
SUMMARY-GROUP contains the reported pollutant concentration values.
This record holds Air Quality Summary data, which is derived by calculating the value of concentrations
of a parameter sampled at a site that summarizes data for a given quarter or year.

3.14 AM-SUMMARY-SEC FILE
The Secured Summary File holds the same kind of information as the Summary File, but the information
is not public. It can be accessed only by the organization submitting the data. Such data might be
supplied by a nongovernmental organization, or it might result from experimental sampling methods.
The organization of the Secured Summary File is exactly the same as the public Summary File. However,
the Secured Summary Record has one additional field, SECURITY-VALUE, that is used to control access
to the record.
See the (public) Summary File for description of file organization and an explanation of record content
and format.

4.0 AQS RETRIEVAL WORK FILES
This section describes AQS work files that may be generated and catalogued upon user request. Most
of these work files are used to produce reports. Each file description includes a narrative explaining the
purpose, content, and use of the file, information about the physical file, a physical description of each
record type contained in the file, and a list explaining the origin of each work record field. Instructions
for creating these work files are contained in the AIRS User's Guide, Volume AQ4.
The physical file description includes the File Type, Data Representation, and File Characteristics:
record format, block size, and record length. The physical description of the records within the file
includes the names of the fields contained in the record, the relative starting position of each field, and
the field size and format.
The first four characters of variable blocked records (RECFM=VB) contain the length of the record in
a four-character numeric field. Therefore, all "First Byte" column values in the record description for
VB records should be incremented by four when determining field location in the work file.

Field Name
MONITOR-ID

MONITOR-TYPE-SORT-FLD
Origin
For most sites this is the MONITOR-ID field from the Monitor
record of selected AM-SITE record. For associated 'met' sites, this
is the STATE, COUNTY and SITE of the MONITOR-ID field of the
Monitor record of the selected AM-SITE record, with the
PARAMETER and POC code of the associated 'met' monitor-ID.
Value is T if the MONITOR-ID field is from the Monitor record of
selected AM-SITE record. Value is '2' if the MONITOR-ID is
derived from associated 'met* monitors. This field was created

4.9 AMP275 - SLAMS DATA GENERATION WORK FILE
The SLAMS Data Generation Work File holds data extracted from the AM-SUMMARY, AM-HOURLY,
AM-DAILY, AM-COMPOSITE, and AM-SITE Files. The Work File is used to generate the SLAMS
Data Retrieval Report and the SLAMS Input Transaction File. It may be either a temporary or a
catalogued file, depending on user specifications.
The record description for this file is divided into parts. The fields in the first 147 positions are common
to all pollutants and are described in the record named 'Work Record'. The next 57 positions (positions
148-204) contain data pertinent to a specific type of pollutant. The sizes and names of these fields vary,
depending on the pollutant they describe. These fields are described in the record names formatted as
'Work Record (pollutant-name part)'. The last 480 positions of each record are blank, except for the
Paniculate Matter record.

CNT-SAMPLES fields from selected AM-COMPOSITE record.
For this and corresponding fields for second, third, and fourth
quarters below, the value of COMP-TYPE in the
AM-COMPOSITE record determines how many occurrences of
CNT-SAMPLES there are. IF COMP-TYPE = 1, quarterly, the
four occurrences of CNT-SAMPLES equal the number of
observations for each of the four quarters of the year. If
COMP-TYPE = 2, the record contains seasonal data. Although
the report prints data for the four calendar quarters, the four
occurrences of CNT-SAMPLES in the seasonal composite record
are treated as quarters one through four, even though data are
stored by season (i.e., first occurrence contains data for
December - February, the second for March - May, etc.). If
COMP-TYPE = 3, the record contains monthly data and the
sum of occurrences one through three (January - March) is the
number of observations in the first quarter, etc. If COMP-TYPE
= 4, the record contains weekly data, and occurrences 1-13 are
added to get the first quarter's data, 14-26 are added to get the
second quarter's data, 27-39 are added to get the third quarter's
data, and 40-53 (note that the fourth quarter has 14 weeks) are
added to get the fourth quarter's. If COMP-TYPE = 5, the
record contains annual data.

Origin
OBS-CNT(l) field from selected AM-SUMMARY record when
INTERVAL = 1.
NOTE: For Ozone, the summary values from the
AM-SUMMARY File and the frequency counts from the
AM-HOURLY File both apply to daily maximum values rather
than the reported 1-hour observations. The four highest daily
maximum values, and the dates for the first and second highest,
are stored on the AM-SUMMARY File. The dates and times for
the third and fourth highest values must be derived from the data
in the AM-HOURLY File. A valid daily maximum value can be
derived only if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
1. At least nine hourly observations were reported during the
twelve-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m (start hours 09
through 20), or
2. Any hourly observation reported during the 24-hour period
exceeds the national primary standard for Ozone.
If either of these conditions is satisfied, the daily maximum value
is the first occurrence of the largest reported hourly observation
in the 24-hour period.
DP-IKD(l) field from selected AM-SUMMARY record when

NOTE: For Ozone, the summary values from AM-SUMMARY
File and the frequency counts from AM-HOURLY File both
apply to daily maximum values rather than reported 1-hour
observations. The four highest daily maximum values, and the
dates for the first and second highest, are stored on
AM-SUMMARY File. The dates and times for the third and
fourth highest values must be derived from data in
AM-HOURLY File. A valid daily maximum value can be
derived only if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
1. At least nine hourly observations were reported during the
twelve-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m (start hours 09
through 20), or
2. Any hourly observation reported during the 24-hour period
exceeds the national primary standard for Ozone.
If either of these conditions is satisfied, the daily maximum value
is the first occurrence of the largest reported hourly observation
in the 24-hour period.

occurrence contains data for December - February, the second

three (January - March) is the number of observations in the first
quarter, etc. If COMP-TYPE = 4, the record contains weekly

4.11 AMP280 - SLAMS DATA RETRIEVAL WORK FILE
The SLAMS Data Retrieval Work File holds data extracted from the AM-SLAMS and AM-SITE Files.
The Work File is used to generate the SLAMS Data Retrieval Report and the SLAMS Input Transaction
File. It may be either a temporary or a catalogued file, depending on user specifications.
The record description for this file is divided into parts. The fields in the first 147 positions are common
to all pollutants and are described in the record named 'Work Record'. The next 57 positions (positions
148-204) contain data pertinent to a specific type of pollutant. The sizes and names of these fields vary,
depending oh the pollutant they describe. These fields are described in the record names formatted as
'Work Record (pollutant-name part)'. The last 480 positions of each record are blank, except for the
Paniculate Matter record.

B 00 through 02
2) If the first field of the card is a valid start hour, then that is
the valid start hour.
3) If the first field of the card is not a valid start hour,
INTERVAL is used to determine the number of hours between
samples. This interval between samples is used to calculate the
correct start hour. It is used in the following way. The first
hourly value is found for the day and is checked to see if it is
one of the valid start hours. If it is not a valid start hour,
subtract the separation between hours and check if this new hour
is a valid start hour. If it is not, repeat the processing until the
valid start hour is found.
This program-generated field is the DP-(n = 1 through 8) of the
SAMPLE-VALUE. The decimal position indicator for the
