1986 ANNUAL REPORT ON AIR QUALITY
IN NEW ENGLAND
This report represents 1986 annual air quality information for all
states in New England. The majority of the data included in this report
were submitted to EPA by the states from their ambient monitoring networks
in accordance with 40 CFR 58 . The only data from industrial monitors
which have been included are from EPA—required networks in New Hampshire
and from Maine’s licensing program which supplements the state’s network.
This report is intended to list potential nonattainment areas for
planning purposes. The majority of data used has been evaluated arid
verified by EPA; however, for the areas listed as nonattainment, the data
may require further evaluation by both EPA and the states.
Table 1 is a summary of the status of the National Air Monitoring
Sites (MANS) and the State/Local Air Monitoring Sites (SLAMS) submitting
data to Region I. This table lists the number of sites operating, the
required number of sites, the number of sites reporting precision and
accuracy data, and the number of sites not meeting EPA minimum data
capture requirements.
Table 2 shows the number of stations violating the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the total number of stations reporting
data during 1986. There were no stations in violation of the SO 2 standards.
For particulates, one station was in violation of the 24 hour primary
standard, and fourteen stations were in violation of the 24 hour secondary
standard. The annual primary standard was violated at one station. Five
stations were in violation of the CO 8—hour primary standard, and no
stations were in violation of the 1—hour primary standard. For ozone,
there were sixteen stations in violation of the 1—hour primary standard.
No stations violated the NO 2 annual standard or the lead quarterly
standard.
Table 3 lists every state site in New England. The information
presented compares the measured values to each NAAQS. The information
included is the number of exceedences, the maximum and second high values,
and the annual means (geometric mean for TSP, arithmetic mean or average
for 502 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 4 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 AQCR5 in Region I is included at the
end of this table (Figure 1).
Table 5 has been developed to point out areas where air quality
levels have exceeded the emergency, warning, or alert episode levels. An
air pollution alert (warning or emergency) will be called when specified
pollutant concentrations are reached provided that meteorological condi-
tions 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 TSP at two sites.
Tables 6 and 7 list the precision and accuracy data submitted by the
six New England states. The 95% probability limits for six criteria
pollutants are given as a network average for each state.
Table 8 lists the results from the Region I audit program for TSP,
SO2, CO, NO 2 , and 03. The results presented on a state—by—state has La
give the number of satisfactory, marginal, and unsatisfactory audits.
Tables 9 and 10, respectively, list the nonattainnient areas in New
England with the last reported violation and the attainment and unclass-
ified areas in which there were recent violations to NAAQS.
Following Table 10 is a discussion of air quality trends in New
England for the criteria pollutants. This discussion includes several
charts of selected air quality montoring sites which show a linear regres-
sion of the deseasonalized monthly means for TSP, Pb, CO, SO 2 , and NO 2
during the last five years. For ozone, a chart of the number of days
exceeding the standard each year for the last five years is used.

1986 PRECISION AND ACCURACY DATA
Current Federal Regulations require that each state report both pre-
cision and accuracy data for all data from National Air Monitoring sites
(NANS), and State/Local Monitoring Sites (SLAMS). Tables 6 and 7 list the
precision and accuracy data submitted by the six New England States. The
data listed in these tables are calculated from the upper and lower 95%
probability limits in percent difference from a known standard and are
arlthmetric averages of quarterly summary data: The accuracy data in Table
7 are only for the lowest reported concentration range. For TSP, the
accuracy limits apply only to the flow measurement, and the precision
limits are the 95% confidence limits between co—located monitors.
Due to problems resulting from the changeover to a new computerized
reporting system, 1986 National Statistics and Region I Summary Data were
not available at the time of publication. The average values reported
herein were calculated from submitted raw data and may differ slightly from
the final national summary.
From these tables, CO has the lowest probability limits generally
within + 10%. All the other pollutants reported are, in general, within
approximately ± 15%. Although no acceptance criteria have been set by EPA
to date, Region I expects this type of performance to be satisfactory. For
comparison, the 1985 National Statistics are also included in Tables 6A and
7A. (1986 National Statistics were not available at publication time.)
Generally, precision and accuracy data did not change significantly
from that reported in 1985. There were improvements in CO accuracy in all
states except Rhode Island. Pb accuracy improved in Connecticut, Maine,
and New Hampshire. SO 2 accuracy improved in Rhode Island as did NO 2 accu-
racy in Rhode Island. Ozone accuracy was somewhat worse in Vern nt.
NO 2 precision Improved in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. TSP pre-
cision got worse in Massachusetts, and Pb precision was worse in Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island.

REGION I 1986 PERFORMANCE AUDIT PROGRAM
Region I conducts an audit program to determine the performance of
ambient air monitoring systems and to provide their operators with technical
assistance in improving data quality. Continuous air monitors are audited
by allowing them to sample gas mixtures containing known concentrations of
specific pollutants and noting the analyzers’ responses. High—volume air
samplers for TSP, lead, and iahalab1e particulates (PM—b) are audited
by attaching a flow reference device and comparing a known air flow rate
with the rate recorded or indicated by the sampler.
A total of 163 audits were conducted in the six New England states for
particulates (TSP, lead, and PM—1O), SO 2 CO, NO 2 and ozone by personnel
from Region I. In general, the results were very good with 151 audits
(93%) satisfactory, 8 audits (5%) marginal, and onLy 4 audits (2%)
unsatisfactory. These results are similar to those achieved in 1985.
Particulate sampler audit results were relatively unchanged from 1985,
during which 4% of the audits were marginal and 2% were unsatisfactory. In
1986, 4% were marginal, and 3% were unsatisfactory.
Performance on individual NO 2 audits improved in 1986 as a result of
better monitoring equipment and calibration procedures.
Ozone audits were generally good in all six states.
SO 2 audit results were generally satisfactory with the exception of
three marginal audits and one failure in Connecticut and a marginal audit
in Rhode Island. Region I provided the states with assistance in diagnosing
the possible causes of the failures. As in 1985, most of the failed analyzers
were older units in which critical components malfunctioned. These results
indicate the need for replacement or repair of older analyzers in those
states affected.
Results for CO were generally good in all states audited.
Table 8 summarizes the results of the audit program on a state—by—state
basis.

AIR QUALITY SUMMARIES AND TRENDS
The next several pages contain a discussion of the air quality and
selected trends for each of the New England States. The data for these
analyses were collected by the New England States and were submitted to
EPA in fulfillment of the Federal monitoring requirements.
In evaluating the five—year urban air quality trends throughout New
England, a statistical program package developed by Region 5 was used to
help characterize the trends for TSP,Pb, CO, NO 2 and SO 2 sites. Due to an
insufficient data base, these programs were not employed for 03 sites.
This statistical program segments the data at each site into monthly cells,
produces monthly means, deseasonalizes these monthly means by aligning the
data for various years (in this case, five years 1982—1986) for each common
month, performs a linear regression on these deseasonalized monthly means,
and finally computes two test statistics which indicate the relative signi-
ficance of any trends identified. To be consistent with the appropriate
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), geometric means are used
for TSP, while arithmetic means are used for the other pollutants. TSP,
Pb, 00, SO 2 , and N02 trend lines for selected air monitoring sites are
presented in Figures 2 through 6.
A different approach was used to present ozone trends. Ozone viola-
tions only occur during the late spring and summer months in New England.
Monitoring ia conducted from April through October only; consequently, the
deseasonalized linear regression lines would be of little value. Figure 7
shows a plot of the number of days over the standard for selected sites in
Stratford, Connecticut; Cape Elizabeth, Maine; Fairhaven, Massachusetts;
Portsmouth, New Hampshire; and Kent County, Rhode Island. The sites se—
lee ted for this figure show both increasing and decreasing trends. When
important and complex role in the formation of ozone. Given the yearly
variation in meteorology, it is possible that the apparent fluctuations in
ozone levels are a result of normal variations due to meteorology rather than
actual reduction in emissions.
-------
1986 CONNECTICUT AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP/PM 1 o
There were no exceedences of the daily secondary standard during 1986
at those sites with exceedencea in 1985. However, several sites set up to
measure PM 10 reported either violations or exceedences to TSP NAAQS. These
sites do not meet siting criteria for TSP. The highest annual geometric mean
was measured in Hartford at 55 ug/m 3 or 72% of the annual primary NtAQS.
Annual geometric means were 72% of the standard in Bridgeport, 71% in Stain-
ford and 67% in Waterbury. The maximum second highest daily average was
measured in Stratford and was 57% of the primary daily NAAQS. The second
highest daily averages in the larger urban areas ranged from 26% to 55% of
the primary daily NAAQS. Rural background levels were 28% of the annual
primary standard and 40% of the secondary daily standard. In general, urban
TSP levels were less than those reported in 1985
Five—year trend lines were prepared for thirty—nine TSP sites in Con-
necticut. One site in Middletown had an increasing trend at least at the
90% confidence level. Three sites had decreasing trends. Thirty—five sites
did not show significant trends, although the majority of these sites had a
definite positive slope. The trend lines for both Bridgeport and Hartford
are shown in Figure 2.
Five new PM 10 sites were established in Bridgeport, Hartford, New
Raven, Waterbury and West Haven. Only the site in New Haven reported levels
above the new PM 10 annual standard. The other sites were from 67% to 80%
of the new standard.
Pb
There were no violations to the NAAQS reported in 1986. The highest
quarterly average was measured in Hartford at 28% of the NAAQS. Waterbury
had the second highest quarterly average also at 28% of the standard.
Maximum quarterly averages in other urban areas ranged from 3.0% to 27% of
the standard. In general, lead levels are lower than those reported in
1985, 1984 and 1983.
81
-------
CO
There were no exceedences or violations of the 1 hour NAAQS reported
in 1986. Hartford reported violations of the 8—hour NA.AQS, and there was one
exceedeuce in Stamford In total, seven CO 8—hour exceedences were reported
in 1986 as compared to the seven exceedences reported in 1985 and fifteen
In 1984. In general, Connecticut’s 1986 CO levels were lower than those
reported in 1985.
A five—year trend analysis was prepared for five CO sites. These
sites all showed significant downward trends. The Stamford CO site is
Included in Figure 4.
Q2
No violations or exceedences to the NAAQS were reported in 1986. The
maximum SO 2 annual averages occurred in New Haven at 49% of the standard,
and in Hartford at 45%. The highest daily SO 2 levels were measured in New
Haven at 82% of the daily standard. The second highest daily average
occurred in Milford at 64% of the NAAQS.
In general, 1986 SO 2 annual averages were higher than those Ia 1985
and 1984. The five—year trends for eighteen sites were analyzed. One
Bridgeport site and Hartford trailer site showed significant downward
trends while six sites showed a significant upward swing. These included
New Britain, New Haven, Norwalk, Stamford and Waterbury. Ten sites showed
no significant trend, but the majority of these had an upward slope. The
New Haven trailer SO 2 trend line is included In Figure 5.
The NO 2 sites in Bridgeport, East Hartford and New Haven reported values
of 50%, 41% and 54% of the annual standard, respectively. These values are
generally the same as those reported in 1985 and 1984. The five—year trend
lines for for these sites were analyzed. The New Haven trailer site and the
88
-------
East Hartford site showed non—significant trends, and the Bridgeport site
displayed a significant downward trend. These plots are displayed in
Figure 6.
23
Every site in Connecticut reported between one to eight days over the
primary NAAQS. The maximum daily reading during 1986 was .193 ppm and
occurred in Greenwich. [ n general, ozone levels were lower in 1986 than
the 1985 or 1984 values. Figure 7 shows a plot of the number of days over
the standard for the Stratford site.

1986 MAINE AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP/PM 10
A Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) violation was
measured in Presque Isle. Secondary standards violations were reported in
Auburn, Bangor, Madawaska, Oxford County, Presque Isle, Washington County,
and Westbrook. An exceedence was reported in Augusta, Berwick, Lincoln and
Millinocket. There were no violations of the annual standard. The annual
geometric mean was 79% of the NAAQS in Bangor, 67% in Portland and 69% in
Presque Isle. The TSP site with the best air quality was Acadia National
Park which reported levels 16% of the annual NAAQS.
The five—year trend analysis was performed on forty—eight TSP sites in
Maine. Of these, two showed significant increasing trends, Westbrook and
Bangor. Twenty—three sites shoved no significant trends and the remaining
twenty—three sites showed a significant downward trend. The majority of
the regression lines show a downward trend. Figure 2 shows a five—year
trend lines for Lincoln and Bangor.
Sixteen sites were operated for PM 10 . Only Presque Isle showed
violations to the new PM 10 standard.
Lead
There were no violations of the quarterly lead NAAQS. The highest
statewide concentration was measured in Portland and was 22% of the stan-
dard. The state’s microscale site which was designed to measure maximum
levels in Portland was shut down during 1985 because of road construction.
Maximum levels measured in Bangor and Presque Isle were approximately 8% of
the standard. Lead levels generally followed a decreasing trend throughout
the State.
CO
The only CO monitoring site in the State is located in Portland. The
site was moved from Bangor in 1984. Reported CO levels in Portland were
higher than the levels measured in Bangor. The maximum 1—hour value in
Portland decreased from 15.6 mg/rn 3 in 1985 to 10.8 mg/rn 3 in 1986. The
maximum 8—hour value also showed a slight decrease.
go
-------
The highest 1986 concentration was 27% of the 1 hour NAAQS, and for
the 8 hour NAAQS, the highest concentration was 75% of the standard. Port-
land CO levels appear to be slightly lower over the past two years. At
present, there i insufficient data in Portland to conduct a five year
trend analysis.
Q2
The highest daily SO 2 levels were monitored in Rumford at an indus-
trial site. The values were approximately 63% of the 24 hour standard.
Monitored value8 in Millinocket were 44% of the standard, while Madawaska
and Lewiston showed values of approximately 55% and 34% of the daily
standard. The highest 3—hour levels were monitored at an industrial site
in Waldo County at 37% of the standard.
The five—year trend analysis was conducted for sixteen sites. Nine
sites showed decreasing trends, while five showed no significant trends.
Sites in Mexico and Portland showed a significant upward trends. Figure 5
shows a trend line for Lewiston.
22
Maine is not required to monitor NO 2 .
23
of the eight sites operated in Maine, three monitors measured at least
one day over the NAAQS. The York County site measured two days over the
standard, Cape Elizabeth and Knox County sites measured one day over the
standard.
The highest value recorded (.142 ppm) was measured at the York
County site. The site measuring the lowest values is located in Frank-
lin County. This site measured a maximum value of .081 ppm or 68% of
the NAAQS.
In general, ozone values and the number of days over the standard
decreased from 1985 and 1984 results. Figure 7 shows a plot of the
number of days over the standard for the Cape Elizabeth site.

1986 MASSACHUSETTS AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP/PM 10
The primary annual and the secondary 24 hour NA.AQS were violated at
only one site in Massachusetts; the City Square site in the Charlestowri
section of Boston. Two other sites, the Columbus Avenue site in Boston and
the East Columbus Avenue site in Springfield reported violations to the
secondary 24 hour NAAQS. An exceedence to the secondary standard was
reported in Pittsfield. TSP sites with the highest annual geonetric means
were located in Boston at 1092 of the NAAQS, Holyoke at 67% of the NAAQS,
Lowell at 60% of the NAAQS, Springfield at 71% of the NAAQS, and Worcester
at 64% of the NAAQS. The highest second maximum daily TSP values were
measured in Boston at 1312 of the secondary NAAQS, in Holyoke at 73% of the
NAAQS, in Springfield at 101% of the NAAQS, and in Worcester at 92% of the
NAAQS. The lowest TSP levels were measured at a rural background site in
Warren with levels at 29% of the primary annual, 10% of the primary daily,
and 25% of the secondary daily standards.
A total of eighteen sites were analyzed for five year trends. The
analysis indicated that three sites had a significant upward trend (Boston,
Springfield, Worcester), three sites had significant downward trends (Brock—
ton, Fall River, Medford), and twelve sites had no significant trends. The
majority of the sites indicated positive trends. The large percentage of
sites with no significant trends but positive slopes, suggest that particu-
late levels are leveling off in Massachusetts after several years of signi-
ficant decreases. Figure 2 shows trend lines for Boston and Springfield.
For PM 10 there are eight sites operating in Boston, Lawrence, Spring-
field, Ware and Worcester. No sites are in violation of the new PM 10 stan-
dard.
Lead
Routine monitoring for lead began in 1982 with sites established in
Boston, Lowell, Springfield and Worcester. No violations to the quarterly
lead NAAQS have been reported from the present network to date. Maximum
quarterly lead levels decreased from 1984 and 1985 levels at all sites.
92
-------
The highest Bite in the State was in Springfield with a maximum quarterly
average of 19% of the NAAQS. Maximum quarterly lead levels from other
urban areas in the state ranged from 4% to 13% of the NAAQS.
Co
No exceedeucea to the 1 hour NAAQS were reported for the eight sites
which monitored CO in the State for 1986. Sites in Boston and Springfield
reported violations to the eight—hour NAAQS. One site in Worcester reported
an exceedence at the eight—hour standard. In 1985 no sites reported and
violations or exceedences to NAAQS.
A five year trend analysis was conducted for all eight SO 2 monitoring
sites. Seven sites exhibited significant decreasing trends while the
Worcester site exhibited a nonsignificant increasing trend. Figure 4 de-
picts the five year trend line for the microscale site located at 600
Washington Street in Boston. Neighborhood (suburban) CO levels were 23%
and 73% of the the 1 hàur and 8 hour NAAQS in Boston, and 262 and 492 of
the NAAQS in Springfield. The highest second maximum 1 hour average for
the State in 1986 was measured at the 600 Washington Street site in Boston
and WaS 46% of the one hour NAAQS. The highest second maximum 8 hour
average for the State was measured at two sites in 1986; the 600 Washington
Street site in Boston and the East Columbus Avenue site in Springfield at
112% of the NAAQS.
There were no violations of the NAAQS at any of the seventeen sites
which reported SO 2 data for 1986 in Massachusetts. Maximum SO 2 levels for
Massachusetts on an annual basis were reported in Boston at the Kenmore
Square site at 54% of the the annual NAAQS. Minimum SO 2 levels on an annual
basis were measured in at a suburban site in Worcester at 23% of the NAAQS.
Righest second maximum daily SO 2 levels were reported for Springfield at
42% of the NAAQS, Boston at 39% of the NAAQS, Fall River at 252 of the NAAQS.
93
-------
A total of ten sites were analyzed for five year trends. Significant
downward trends were identified only for two sites located in Boston. Sig-
nificant u ard trends were identified for Springfield and Chelsea. The
remaining sites did not exhibit any significant trends. The trend line for
the Keninore Square site is depicted in Figure 5.
In 1986, eight sites collected NO 2 data in Massachusetts. The maximum
site in the State was located in Kennxre Square, Boston, where the annual
mean was 63% of the NAAQS, a 12% decrease over 1985 levels. At the other
Boston site, the annual mean increased by 6% over 1985 levels. A slight
decrease was reported for Springfield (—3%).
A five year trend analysis was performed on the five sites with suf-
ficient data records. A significant decreasing trend was identif Led for
the Springfield and Lawrence site. No significant long term trenis were
identified for the other two sites analyzed. The Bremart site in oston
showed a significant upward trend.
Q3
As in past years, ozone violations were reported throughout Massa-
chusetts for 1986. Violations were recorded at five (Agawam, Chi ’opee,
Fairhaven, Newburyport and Ware) Out of twelve sites which operated in
1986. Sites in Amherst and Chelsea reported one daily exceedence of the
standard for the year.
Overall, maximum daily ozone levels decreased in 1986 as compared
with 1984 and 1985. The total number of days in excess of the standard for
the sites which operated in both 1984 and 1985, decreased from forty—seven
days in 1984 to thirty—five days in 1985 and to fifteen in 1986.
The maximum daily value for 1986 in Massachusetts was record d in
Fairhaven at 0.151 ppm. The Fairhaven, Newburyport and Ware site; recorded
the most number of days over the standard with three. Figure 7 shows a five
year trend plot for the Fairhaven site.

1986 NEW HAMPSHIRE AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP/PM 1 a
The only site in New Hampshire which reported exceedences to the primary
NAAQS in 1986 was the Berlin, Lancaster Street, trailer site. Violations to
the secondary standard were reported at three sites in Berlin. Exceedenses
were reported in louis and Nashua. For the first time, the Lancaster Street
site did not show a violation to the primary annual standard. The annual
geanetric mean dropped from 87 ug/m 3 in 1984 to 77 in 1985 to 69 in 1986.
The air quality in Berlin is influenced by manufacturing activity at a
local paper mill. The annual geometric means for other areas in New Hamp-
shire were 59% of the standard in Manchester, 49% in Nashua and 61% in
Portsmouth. Background levels in Hollis are 32% of the annual standard.
A five year trend analysis was performed on nineteen TSP sites in New
Hampshire. Of these, eight showed significant long term downward trends,
while the remaining eleven sites showed no significant trends. Last year,
the long term trend analysis indicated that 60% of the sites analyzed were
significantly decreasing. In this year’s analysis less than 42% of the
sites were significantly decreasing. The indication is that TSP levels may
be leveling off in New Hampshire. Figure 2 shows a trend line for the
State House Annex site in Concord.
Four PM 10 sites were operated in New Hampshire in 1981. Three in Berlin
and one in Manchester. None reported any violations to standards.
Lead
There were no lead violations reported in 1986 at the eight sites which
monitor this pollutant in New Hampshire. The highest site——a microscale
site in Concord——reported a maximum quarterly average which was 6% of the
NAAQS. The lowest site in the State, which is located in Hollis, had a
maximum quarterly average of 1% of the standard. Lead levels have decreased
at all sites in 1986 as compared with 1985 levels.
-------
CO
No violations of the 1 hour NAAQS were reported in 1986; however, both
Nashua and Manchester reported violations to the 8 hour NAAQS. A total of
nine violations were monitored in Manchester for 1986 as compared to eleven
violations reported for 1985. The maximum 8 hour level was 61% over the
standard in 1986 compared to the 1985 maximum which was 36% over the stan-
dard. For Manchester, the frequency of violations decreased in 1986 while
the magnitude of the violations increased significantly. In Nashua, the
frequency of violations increased from two violations In 1985 to three in
1986.
The Nashua site was analyzed for long term trends. A significant
downward trend was identified for mean CO levels at this site.
22
No violations to the NAAQS were monitored in 1986. The last violation
measured in New Hampshire occured in 1980 at a site in Berlin. The highest
statewide levels recorded on an annual basis were monitored in Berlin, Man-
chester and Nashua at 30% of the annual NAAQS for 1986. On a short,term
basis, the highest SO 2 levels were monitored in Pembroke with levels at 79%
of the daily NAAQS and 60% of the 3 hour NAAQS.
In general, most areas in New Hampshire had small increases in SO 2
from levels measured in 1985. A five year trend analysis was performed for
thirteen sites. Seven sites were identified with significant decreasing
trends, while one site located in Berlin had significant increasing trends.
Figure 5 shows a downward five year trend line for the Lancaster Street
site in Berlin.
!22
Only one site in Manchester collected NO 2 data in 1986. There was in—
sufficient data to make a comparison with NAAQS, however, levels are low.
96
-------
23
only the Portsmouth site out of the five sites which operated in 1986,
recorded violations of the NAAQS. The highest daily maximum for the State in
1986 was monitored in Portsmouth and was 106Z of the NAAQS. Generally, 1986
ozone levels were similar to those recorded in 1985. Figure 7 shows the
number of days over the standard for the Portsmouth site.

1986 RHODE ISLAND AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP/PM 10
There were no reported violations or exceedences of the primary and
secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in 1986 except for
one exceedence at the Bonanza Bus Terminal in Providence. The highest
geometric mean occurred at the Bonanza Bus Terminal site in Providence.
This is equivalent to 71% of the annual primary MAAQS. This site alsohad
the highest daily average which was 582 of the primary daily NAAQS. The
rural background site located at the University of Rhode Island’s Alton
Jones Campus was 282 of the primary annual NAAQS and 592 of the daily
secondary standard.
TSP levels throughout the State have shown a general decrease from
1982 to 1986. The rural Alton Jones site, at approximately 28% of the pri—
mary annual standard, has shown an increase over 1985 at 27% and 1984 at
25%. The background TSP levels of 1986 are similar to those exhibited in
the last five years.
A five year trend analysis was performed at eleven TSP sites. Of
these, the Newport and East Providence Fire Station sites shoved signi-
ficant downward trends, while nine sites exhibited no significant trend.
Figure 2 shows a typical five year trend line for a site in Providence.
For PM 10 , two sites in Providence and Pawtucket were operated. Both
sites reported levels below standards.
Pb
There were no calender quarter arithmetic means greater than the pri-
mary and secondary NAAQS in 1986, As in 1985, the highest quarterly lead
average occurred at Dyer Street and was 12% of the NAAQS. The second
highest quarterly average also occurred at Dyer Street at 11% of the Stan-
dard. The maximum background level, as measured at the University of Rhode
Island’s Alton Jones campus in Kent County, was 2% of the standard during
the highest quarter. Pb levels have shown a decrease from 1982 to 1986.
98
-------
Co
There were no exceedences of the 1 hour N&AQS in 1986. The microscale
site at Dorrence Street in Providence reported no exceedences of the 8 hour
NAAQSI as compared to two exceedetices in 1985 and five in 1984. At the new
neighborhood site (RI Dept. of Health), one exceedence to the 8 hour standard
was reported. This may have been caused by the operation of stand—by gen-
erators located near the probe.
Figure 4 shows a significant downward trend in the mean CO levels at
Dorrence Street site.
22
No violations of NAAQS were reported in Rhode Island over the past five
years. The highest levels in 1986 occurred in Providence at 51% of the 24
hour primary NAAQS. The second highest values were reported in Pawtucket
at 38% of the 24 hour standard.
A five year trend analysis was performed for four SO 2 sites in Rhode
Island. The Dorrance Street site showed a significant upward trend. All
other sites showed no significant trend. Figure 5 displays the trend line
for a Providence site.
22
The one NO 2 site in Providence reported an annual average of 48% of the
staz ard. This is slightly lower than the 1985 value of 49%. Figure 6
shows a trend analysis displaying a slight upward trend in Rhode Island ’s
NO 2 concentrations.
-------
23
The Kent County site reported three days during which the 1 hour NAAQS
was exceeded, while the Providence site also reported three days. The
highest daily value reported for Kent County was .162 ppm. This is lower
than the 1984 value of .215 ppm slightly higher than and the 1985 value of .154 ppm.
of .154 ppm. The Kent county site has had the greatest number of measured
over the NAAQS for the past four years in Rhode Island. The highest daily value
in Providence was .142 ppm or approximately 18% over the NAAQS. Figure 7 shows
a plot of the number of days over the Kent County site.

1986 VERMONT AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TS/PM 10
In terms of the 24—hour National Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) just one
exceedence of the primary and secondary standards (260 ug/m 3 and 150 ugfm 3 ,
respectively) was observed in Vermont for 1986. This occurred at the Rut-
land site where a value of 278 ug/m 3 was recorded. The next highest value
at this site was 130 ug/m 3 , which is below the secondary NA.AQS, no violation
occurred at this site. Maximum 24—hour TSP levels for the rest of Vermont
were below the NAAQS. The 1986 daily maximums for each of these sites
ranged from 127 ug/m 3 in Barre to 51 ug/m 3 in Randolph.
Mean TSP levels were higher in Rutland and Barre than in Burlington.
Annual geometric means for Rutland and Barre were 73% and 65% of the primary
annual NAAQS while Burlington TSP levels averaged 47% of the standard.
Levels at the remaining sites were all less than 50% of the standard with
the lowest levels measured at the Randolph site at 28% of the standard.
A five year trend analysis was performed on six sites in Vermont.
All sites showed no significant trends although four sites had a negative
slope. Figure 2 shows the decreasing trend line for the Barre TSP site.
For PM 10 , eight sites are being operated. All show attainment.
Lead
Vermont is not required to and does not operate a monitoring network
for lead.
Co
Carbon monoxide is monitored only in Burlington. Maximum levels at
this site were 47% of the one hour NAAQS and 77% of the 8 hour standard.
These levels were higher than 1985 maximums. A five year trend analysis
was performed for this site and showed that mean CO levels increased over
the 1981 through 1985 time period. Although a significant upward trend was
identified, the increase in terms of concentration was small, averaging
0.07 mg/rn 3 per year.
101
-------
Q2
The Burlington site is the only site which monitors SO 2 year round in
Vermont. Levels at this site for 1985 were 19% of the daily NAAQS and 18%
of the annual NAAQS, a decrease over 1985 levels. Monitors in Barre and
Rutland operate from September through April each heating season. Maximum
levels at these two sites were 21% of the daily standard in Barre and 34%
of the daily standard in Rutland. Maximum daily levels for both these
sites increased over 1985. The five year trend line for Burlington is
shown in Figure 5, and indicates a significant downward trend.
22
Vermont initiated monitoring for NO 2 in Burlington during the fourth
quarter of 1985. The arithmetic mean for 1986 is 34% of the annual NAAQS.
23
No violations of the ozone NAAQS were monitored in Vermont for 1986.
The maximum daily values for the year were 0.115 ppm for Bennington and
0.087 ppm for Burlington. Ozone levels have remained relatively stable in
Vermont since 1981 and show attainment.
