1980 ANNUAL REPORT ON AIR QUALITY
IN NEW ENGLAND
This report represents 1980 annual air quality information for all States in
New England. The majority of the data included in this report was submitted to
EPA by the States from their ambient monitoring networks in accordance with 40
CFR 58 .
In addition, data from selected industrial monitors have been included. As
this report is intended to list potential nonattainment areas for planning purposes,
the data used have not been evaluated or verified by EPA. For the areas listed as
nonattainment, the data will require further evaluation by both EPA and the States.
Table 1 shows the number of stations violating the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the total number of stations reporting data during
1980. There were two stations in violation of the 24-hour primary SO 2 standard
and no stations in violation of the annual primary SO 2 standard. For particulates,
four stations were in violation of the 24-hour primary standard, and thirty-three
stations were in violation of the 24-hour secondary standard. The annual primary
standard was violated at three stations. Nine stations were in violation of the CO
8-hour primary standard, and one station was in violation of the 1-hour primary
standard. For ozone there were thirty stations in violation of the 1-hour primary
standard. No stations violated the NO 2 annual standard.
Table 2 lists every State site in New England. The information presented
compares the measured values to each NAAQS. The information included is the
number of violations, the maximum and second high values, and the annual means
(geometric mean for TSP, arithmetic mean or average for SO 2 and NO 2 ). Those
stations reporting a maximum above the standard, but a second high below the
standard are included in this table. For intermittent data, an annual mean is not
valid unless there are four valid quarters. To be considered valid, a quarter must
have at least five values, and if any one month is missing, each of the other two
months must have two or more values. For continuous data, 75 percent of the year
must be available to calculate a valid annual average.
-------
Table 3 shows the number of stations violating the NAAQS by Air Quality
Control Region (AQCR), as well as the total number of monitors in each AQCR. A
map delineating the AQCRs in Region I is included at the end of this table
(Figure 1).
Table 4 has been developed to point out areas where emergency episodes are
likely to occur. An air pollution alert (warning or emergency) will be called when
specified pollutant concentrations are reached provided that meteorological
conditions are such that these levels can be expected to persist for 12 hours or
more. In the case of ozone, an alert (warning or emergency) will be called if the
situation is likely to reoccur within the next 24 hours. Episode levels were reached
or exceeded for particulates at two sites; for CO at one site; and for ozone at nine
sites.
Following Table 4 are charts listing the 1976 to 1980 Pollutant Standards
Index for four pollutants in the metropolitan areas in New England. The general
terms which describe the air quality (good, moderate, unhealthful, very unhealthful
and hazardous) are defined in Table 5. It should be noted that the pollution levels
chosen on the charts represent second maximum daily averages and are not
representative of average population exposure, but rather of the maximum
pollution levels for each year.
Following the charts are maps which contain the highest hourly ozone
concentrations for sites on certain days in 1980. This information was gathered for
the Northeast Corridor Regional Modeling Project.

TRENDS IN SECOND MAXIMUM DAILY AIR QUALITY
The following charts list the 1976 to 1980 Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) for
four pollutants in ten metropolitan areas in New England.
The PSI structure includes the pollutants for which primary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) have been established. These pollutants
are: total suspended particulates (TSP), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), carbon monoxide
(CO), photochemical oxidants (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ). For each pollutant,
a subindex is calculated from a segmented linear function which transforms
ambient concentrations onto a scale which ranges from 0 to 500, with 100
corresponding to the primary NAAQS concentrations and 500 corresponding to the
significant harm levels. The breakpoints between 100 and 500 are based on Federal
Episode Criteria as defined in 40 CFR 58, Appendix G. A value of 50 represents
50% of the short-term primary NAAQS except for TSP and SO 2 where a value of 50
represents the annual NAAQS. For TSP a value of 70 represents the secondary
standard of 150 ug/m 3 24-hour average.
PSI is primarily a health-related index as shown by the descriptor words:
“good,” “moderate,” “unhealthful,” “very unhealthful,” and “hazardous,” (Table 5).
The breakpoints used to separate these descriptor words are somewhat arbitrary.
On the basis of health effects data above, it is not possible to establish a sharp
demarcation between any two descriptor words. However, when the five pollutants
were examined in the context of severity of health effects, their NAAQS arid EPA
suggested administrative Alert, Warning, and Emergency levels tended to provide
convenient breakpoints.
PSI should not be used to rank cities. An EPA evaluation of PSI in eight
cities illustrated the difficulties of attempting to compare air quality levels in
different cities using this or any other index. PSI is designed for the daily reporting
of air quality to advise the public of potentially acute, but not chronic, health
effects. To properly rank the air pollution problems in different cities, one should
rely not just on air quality data but should include all data on population
characteristics, daily population mobility, transportation patterns, industrial
composition, emission inventories, meteorological factors, and the spatial repre-
sentativeness of air monitoring sites. A correct ranking should also consider the
number of people actually exposed to various concentrations, as well as the
frequency and duration of their exposure.

Particulate levels for 1976-1980 were moderate, although violations to secondary ambient
air quality standards were recorded in 1976. Secondary particulate violations were also
recorded at other sites in the Bridgeport area in 1976, 1977, 1979, and 1980. Sulfur
dioxide levels have decreased from moderate to good for this period. Carbon monoxide
levels have decreased from unhealthful to moderate. Ozone levels, except for 1978 and
1979, have been very unhealthful. In 1978 and 1979, ozone levels were unhealthful.
The general terms which describe the air quality (good, moderate, unhealthful, very
unhealthful, and hazardous) are defined in Table 5. It should be noted that the pollution
levels chosen on this chart represent second maximum daily averages and are not
representative of average population exposure but rather of the maximum pollution levels

particulate levels are moderate; however, in 1977 and 1980, both annual primary and
secondary particulate 24-hour standard violations were reported. This may have been due
to construction in the area. In 1979, there were violations of the secondary standard. At
Spear Street in 1980, the particulate levels were moderate. Sulfur dioxide levels are good.
Carbon monoxide levels have shown a decline, and currently levels are moderate. Ozone
levels are moderate.

NORTHEAST CORRIDOR REGIONAL MODELING PROJECT
To better understand the transport of ozone and its precursor pollutants along
the eastern seaboard and to focus control strategy development, EPA and various
state, regional, and local agencies have undertaken an intensive modeling and
monitoring effort. The ambient monitoring portion of this study was conducted
during the summer of 1980 and involved data collection by several state agencies
and EPA contractors. Here in New England, the states of Connecticut,
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire were primarily involved, however, all states
participated in the gathering of ozone data. While it is impossible to summarize all
the ambient and meteorological data in this report, Figures 12 through 16 show
maximum ozone levels on selected days for the New England portion of this study.
Figures 12 and 13 show ozone levels on June 24 and June 25. Both days
showed approximately the same levels in southwest Connecticut. Levels in the
B4ston north area were somewhat higher on June 24, while in the Providence and
Boston south areas, levels are higher on June 25. Figures 14 and 15, for July 15
and 16, also show differences with higher levels in the Boston area and north on
July 15, while on July 16, higher levels were recorded in Connecticut and
Rhode Island. Figure 16, July 21, shows high ozone levels throughout New England.
These graphs point out several interesting items: (1) that maximum ozone levels on
a single day in New England can vary by as much as a factor of 30 from the site at
Stratford, Connecticut at 303 ppb to the site in Caribou, Maine, at 10 ppb;
(2) levels in southern New England are considerably higher than northern
New England; and (3) that coastal sites seem to read higher ozone levels than sites
inland.
