1992 ANNUAL REPORT ON AIR QUALITY
IN NEW ENGLAND
This report represents 1992 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 the Massachusetts Industrial Network, EPA-
required networks in New Hampshire and Maine’s licensing program which
supplements the state network.
This report is intended to list potential nonattainment areas for planning
purposes. The majority of data used have been evaluated and verified by
EPA; however, for the areas listed as nonattainment, the data may require
further evaluation by both EPA and the states. This report reflects the status
of the AIRS database as of April, 1993.
Table 1 is a summary of the status of the National Air Monitoring
Stations (NAMS) and the State/Local Air Monitoring Stations (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. Following Table 1 is a list of health effects of the
criteria pollutants.
Table 2 shows the number of stations violating the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the total number of stations reporting
data during 1992.
Table 3 lists, by state, a summary of criteria pollutant data from sites
in each state in New England, and from industrial sites in New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and Maine. The information presented compares the
measured values to each NAAQS; it includes the number of exceedances, the
maximum and second high values, and the annual means (arithmetic mean or
average for SO 2 , PM 10 and NO 2 ). For intermittent data, an annual mean is
1
-------
not valid unless there are four valid quarters. For PM 10 , 75% of the
scheduled samples must be available for a quarter to be considered valid.
For continuous data, 75 % of the year must be available to calculate a valid
annual average.
Included with Table 3 are graphs of selected air quality monitoring sites
which show a five year span of data for PM 10 , Pb, CO, SO 2 , and NO 2 . For
ozone, a graph of the number of days exceeding the standard each year for
the last five years is used. Also included is a discussion of the compliance
status for each pollutant. In addition, state maps are included which display
pollutant levels and location of monitoring sites.
Table 4 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 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 recur within the next 24 hours.
Tables 5 and 6 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 7 lists the results from the Region I audit program for 03, SO 2
and Particulates. The results presented on a state-by-state basis give the
number of satisfactory, marginal, and unsatisfactory audits.
Tables 8 and 9 respectively, list the nonattainment areas in New
England with the last reported violation and the attainment and unclassified
areas in which there were recent violations of the NAAQS. A map
delineating the AQCRS in Region I is included at the end of these tables.
Appendix A is a list of AIRS state and regional Air Quality Contacts,
their addresses and phone numbers.

Health Effects of Criteria Pollutants
Lead (Pb)
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Lead causes retardation and brain damage, especially
in children. Lead also causes liver disease, interferes
with blood formation, the nervous system and the
renal system and can affect the normal functions of
the reproduction and cardiovascular systems. The
sources of lead pollution are motor-vehicle exhaust,
lead smelters and battery manufacturing plants.
Ozone (03)
Respiratory tract problems such as difficult breathing
and reduced lung function may be caused by high
ozone levels. Ozone also causes asthma, eye
irritation, nasal congestion, reduced resistance to
infection and premature aging of lung tissue. It
injures vegetation, and has adverse effects on
materials. Ozone is generally highest on sultry
summer afternoons. Ozone is formed in the
atmosphere by the reaction of nitrogen oxides, and
hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight.
Nitrogen Oxides (NO 1 )
The health effects of this pollutant include respiratory
illness, lung damage,and increased airway resistance.
It may make one more susceptible to respiratory
infection. Nitrogen oxides can cause edema (in
concentrations of l0ppm for 8 hours); concentrations
of 20-30 ppm for 8 hours can produce fatal lung
damage. NO 1 also reacts with hydrocarbons to form
photochemical oxidants. The sources of nitrogen
oxides are: Motor-vehicle exhaust, heat and power
generation, nitric acid, explosives, fertilizer plants,
and combustion of fuels.
Carbon Monoxide acts in the bloodstream to deprive
the heart and brain of oxygen. It impairs the ability
of the blood to carry oxygen, and affects the
cardiovascular, nervous, and pulmonary systems.
Moderate concentrations significantly reduce brain
functions, and can cause angina. Carbon Monoxide
is caused by the incomplete combustion of carbon,
which occurs in motor-vehicles, and some industrial
processes.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO3)
This pollutant causes respiratory tract problems, eye
irritation, and permanent harm to lung tissue. It
combines with water to form acid aerosols and
sulfuric acid mist which falls to earth as acid rain,
causing plant and structural damage, and acidifying
bodies of water. Sources of sulfur dioxide include
heat and power generation facilities, combustion
processes that use oil or coal containing sulfur,
sulfuric acid plants, petroleum refineries and smelters
of sulfur-containing ore.
Suspended Particulate Matter ( PM 1 )
This pollutant causes eye and throat irritation,
bronchitis, lung damage, and impaired visibility. It
soils materials, causes corrosion, and acts as a carrier
of toxics adsorbed or absorbed in it. Motor vehicle
exhaust, industrial processes, incinerators, heat and
power generation, steel mills, smelters, demolition,
wood burning stoves, fugitive dust, and plants are
sources of suspended particulate matter.

There were no exceedances or violations of the 1-hour NAAQS at any of the five
Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitoring sites in the state. The Morgan Street site was the only
site which had one exceedance of the 8-hour NAAQS. The five year trend graph shows that
the Bridgeport, Stamford, and New Haven sites are well below the standard and are
relatively stable. The graph also shows a decreasing trend for CO hi Hartford.

Three sites monitored for Nitrogen Dioxide (NOj) in Connecticut in 1992. None of
which experienced any exceedances or violations of the NAAQS for NO2. Bridgeport, East
Hartford and New Haven reported values of 48%, 34%, and 50% of the annual standard,
respectively. The five year trend graph shows that the NO2 levels for these towns have been
relatively constant.

Thirteen sites monitored for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) in 1992. There were no
exceedances or violations of the annual, 24-hour or 3-hour NAAQS. The maximum SO2
annual average occurred at the State Street site in New Haven at 40% of the standard, (a
1% decrease from last year), while the minunum SO2 annual averages of 15% of the
standard were reported in Mansfield and Greenwich. The highest second maximum daily
SO2 levels were reported in New Haven at 37% of the NAAQS, Stamford at 29% of the
NAAQS and Bridgeport at 29% of the NAAQS. These three sites also reported the highest
second maximum 3-hour SO2 levels at 18%, 11% and 13% of the NAAQS, respectively.
The SO2 five year trend graphs generally show a slight downward trend.

In 1992, only five of the eleven Ozone (O3) sites in Connecticut had exceedances or
violations of the NAAQS. The maximum value monitored at any site in Connecticut was
0.145 ppm or 116% of the standard and was reported hi Danbury. The highest second
maximum of 0.131 ppm or 105% of the standard was reported in Stratford. In 1992, there
were fewer exceedances and violations than in 1991. The five year trend graph reveals that
the greatest number of exceedances/violations were reported in 1988.

YEAR
There were no exceedances or violations of the annual or 24-hour NAAQS at any of
the 32 Participate Matter less than 10 microns (PM^ sites in Connecticut in 1992. New
Haven is classified as a nonattainment area for PM10 and daily monitoring is required. In
August 1992, CT DEP installed and operated an approved continuous PM,0 sampler
(TEOM) at the Corner of Stiles St. site La New Haven. CT is the second state in Region
I to be using this new technology. A first maximum value of 133 ug/m3 or 89% of the
NAAQS was reported, and a second maximum value of 112 ug/m3 or 75% of the NAAQS
was reported at this site. The annual arithmetic mean at this site was 36 ug/m3 or 72% of
the standard. The five year weighted arithmetic mean trend graph generally shows a
decrease in the PM,0 weighted arithmetic mean. There is also a downward trend for the
second maximum 24-hour value graph.

T MMCATES THAT THE MEAN DOES NOT SATISFY SUMMARY CRITERIA
Fourteen sites monitored for Sulfur Dioxide (SO^ in 1992. There were no
exceedances or violations of the annual, 24-hour or 3-hour NAAQS. The highest annual
arithmetic mean was reported in Madawaska at 24 ug/m3 or 30% of the standard.
Madawaska reported the highest 24-hour second maximum of 179 ug/m3 or 49% of the
standard as well as the highest 3-hour second maximum of 478 ug/m3 or 37% of the
standard. Mexico and Rumford reported the lowest 24-hour second maximum of 44 ug/m^
or 12% of the standard. Mexico also had the lowest 3-hour second maximum of 92 ug/m
or 7% of the standard. The SO2 five year second maximum 24-hour trend graph shows a
downward trend for Mexico and Lewiston. The annual arithmetic mean graph for (SO2)
shows a downward trend for Rumford.

Only two of the fourteen Ozone (O3) sites operating in Maine had exceedances or
violations of the O3 NAAQS in 1992. The Ocean Ave. site hi Kennebunkport and the Cape
Elizabeth site, each had two exceedances of the NAAQS. The Cape Elizabeth site had the
highest second maximum value of 0.128 ug/m3 or 102% of the standard. The
Kennebunkport site had a second maximum value of 0.127 ug/m3 or 102% of the standard.
The five year trend graph reveals that the greatest number of exceedances/violations
occurred in 1988.

None of the thirty-six Particulate Matter less than 10 Microns (PMIO) sites in Maine
had exceedances or violations of the annual or 24-hour NAAQS for PM,0 in 1992. As in
the past, the highest values were reported at the Northeastland Hotel in Presque Isle. It
reported the highest second maximum value of 102 ug/m3 or 68% of the daily standard.
The ME DEP installed and operated an approved continuous PM,0 sampler (TEOM) at the
Northeastland Hotel site in Presque Isle. Maine is the first state in Region I to be using this
new technology. All the sites were well below the NAAQS. The five year second maximum
24-hour value trend graph shows no discernable trends for PM,8. The five year weighted
arithmetic mean trend graph generally shows a downward trend for PM10

There are nine sites that monitor Carbon Monoxide (CO) in Massachusetts; four
are located in Boston, two in Springfield, two in Worcester and one in Lowell. In 1992
there were no exceedances of the 1-hour NAAQS. However, an exceedance of the 8-hour
NAAQS was reported. This occurred at the Central St. Fire Station site in Worcester with
levels at 102% of the NAAQS. The highest second maximum 1-hour and 8-hour averages
for the state in 1992 were also measured at this Worcester site at 48% and 84%,
respectively. The five year trend graph for (CO) indicates slightly fluctuating maximum
levels for Springfield and much larger year to year variations for Worcester and two sites
in Boston.

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) was monitored at ten sites in Massachusetts for 1992. The
highest annual means for the state were observed at the Kenmore Square and Breman St.
sites in Boston, with levels at 66% and 60% of the NAAQS, respectively. The lowest NO2
levels were observed at the Quabbin Reservoir in Ware at 16% of the NAAQS. The five
year trend graph for NO2 shows stable values.

No exceedances of the NAAQS were recorded at any of the twenty-nine monitoring
sites which reported Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) data for 1992 in Massachusetts. Maximum SO2
levels for Massachusetts on an annual basis were reported in Boston at the Atlantic Ave.
site, and the Kenmore Square site, at 39% of the annual NAAQS. The site reporting the
lowest annual mean was the Lynn site at 11% of NAAQS. The site reporting the highest
daily 24-hour SO2 values was an industrial source oriented site in Fall River with a level
of 42% of the NAAQS. The five year trend graph of SO2 arithmetic means for typical sites
in Massachusetts shows a decreasing trend for all the sites except for Ware which remained
relatively constant.

Ozone (O3) standard exceedances were reported at five sites in Massachusetts for
1992. The maximum O3 level measured in Massachusetts for 1992 was 0.137 ppm,
recorded at the Worcester Airport site. The Worcester and Ware sites recorded the most
days over the standard in 1992, with 2 days in excess of the NAAQS. The trend graph for
O3 sites in Massachusetts shows that, except for 1988, the number of days over the standard
at each site has stayed relatively constant and varies between 0 days and 4 days over the
standard for the sites selected. In 1988, summer temperatures were extremely and
unusually hot, promoting O3 formation and increasing the number of days over the
standard at each site. In 19S8, each of the trend sites experienced their maximum number
of days over the standard for the past five years and ranged between 2 and 13 days over
the standard. 45

? INDICATES THAT THE MEAN DOES NOT SATISFY SUMMARY CRITERIA
Routine monitoring for Lead (Pb) began in 1982 with sites established in Boston,
Lowell, Springfield and Worcester. The present network consists of four sites; two in
Boston and two in Springfield, the two largest urban areas in the state. Since 1982 lead
levels have dropped continuously with the most rapid decline in the early years. The trend
graph shows that Pb levels have stabilized at very low levels. This trend is mainly due to
a decrease in the use of leaded gasoline. The highest maximum quarterly average occurred
at East Columbus Ave in Springfield. The highest maximum quarterly average was 3% of
the NAAQS.

In 1992, one exceedance of the NAAQS was recorded at the Nashua Carbon
Monoxide (CO) monitoring site in New Hampshire. The highest level recorded at the
Nashua site was 10.1 ppm or 106% of the standard. The Manchester site recorded a
maximum 8-hour concentration of 6.8 ppm or 72% of the standard. Neither location
exceeded the 1-hour standard of 35 ppm. The maximum values for the 1-hour time period
were 16.9 ppm for Manchester and 17.7 ppm for Nashua. The five year trend graph for
CO did not reveal any apparent trends.

New Hampshire monitored for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) at two locations in 1992. The
two locations, Manchester and Portsmouth, reported arithmetic means of 30% and 26% of
the NAAQS, respectively. The five year trend graph for NO2 indicates that the annual
mean levels in Manchester are slightly decreasing.

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) standards were not exceeded at any of the twelve monitoring
sites located in New Hampshire. For the third year in a row, the Pembroke monitoring site
recorded the highest concentrations for 24-hour and 3-hour second high values, with levels
of 175 ug/m3 (48% of 24-hour NAAQS), 536 ug/m3 (41% of 3-hour NAAQS). Two sites in
Berlin Lancaster Street, and Enman Hill Road have the highest arithmetic mean for the
year at 22 ug/m3 or 28% of the NAAQS. The SO2 five year trend graphs show a downward
trend for Nashua in both the second maximum 24-hour and the annual arithmetic mean
time frames. There were no apparent trends for the other monitoring locations.

For the first time in five years none of New Hampshire's eight Ozone (O3) sites
exceeded the standard in 1992. The Rye Harbor monitor recorded the highest 1-hour value
at 98% of the standard. The O3 five year trend graph illustrates the number of days per
year that New Hampshire monitoring sites exceeded the standard. In 1988, O3 levels
throughout the region were higher and exceeded the standard more frequently than in other
years, due in part to the unusually high summer temperatures for that year.

New Hampshire has increased its Participate Matter less than 10 Microns (PM10)
Network from eight sites in 1989 to fifteen sites in 1992. Of the fifteen sites, none exceeded
the annual or 24-hour NAAQS for 1992. As in past years, the highest New Hampshire
PM,0 values were recorded in the Berlin Area. The Lancaster St. site in Berlin recorded
the highest second maximum 24-hour value in the state at 87 ug/m3 (58% of the NAAQS)
and an annual arithmetic mean of 33 ug/m3 (66% of the NAAQS). The lowest PM10 levels
in the state were measured at a site on top of Mt. Sunapee with PM,0 levels averaging 9
ug/m3 or 18% of the annual standard. The five year trend graph for the annual mean
values shows slight decreasing trends for the state. The trend graph for the second
maximum 24-hour values does not show any apparent trend.

None of the six Lead (IT)) sites in New Hampshire exceeded the standard for 1992.
In fact, the highest quarterly mean measured in the state was 0.03 ug/m3 (or 2% of the
standard) recorded at a site in Concord and in Hollis. Pb levels have dropped off
considerably since 1982 when routine Pb monitoring was initiated in New Hampshire. This
is due in part to the use of unleaded instead of leaded gasoline. The maximum quarterly
mean for 1982 was 0.47 ug/m3 or 31% of the standard. The five year trend graph for
maximum Pb quarterly means shows that lead values are just over the minimum detection
limit for the measurement method (0.01 ug/m3) and range between 0.01 and 0.04 ug/m3.

In 1992, only one site monitored for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in Rhode Island. There
were no exceedances or violations of the NAAQS for NO2. The Rockefeller Library site in
Providence reported a value of 46% of the annual standard. The five year trend graph
shows that this site is well below the standard and is relatively stable.

Only one of the two Ozone (O3) sites operating in Rhode Island had an exceedance
of the O3 NAAQS in 1992. The Alton Jones site in West Greenwich had one exceedance
of the NAAQS. The maximum value at this site was 0.131 ppm or 105% of the NAAQS.
The highest second maximum value was 0.121 ppm or 97% of the standard. The five year
trend graph shows that the greatest number of exceedances/violations were reported in
1988.

During 1992, there were no exceedances or violations of the quarterly lead (Pb) NAAQS
at any of the four sites in Rhode Island. The site with the highest value in the state was
the Dyer Street site in Providence which had a maximum quarterly average of 0.04 ug/m3
or 3% of the standard. The five year trend graph generally shows that Pb leads have
continued to decrease over the past five years.

There were no violations or exceedances of the NAAQS for Carbon Monoxide (CO)
at any of the four sites, Burlington, Maple St., Essex, Lincoln St., Essex or Rutland. The
maximum 1-hour value measured was 10.5 ppm at the Maple St., Essex site, or 30% of the
standard. The maximum 8-hour measurement, also at the Maple St., Essex site, was 5.3
ppm, or 56% of the standard. The five year trend graph for the second maximum 8-hour
value does not reflect a discernable trend.

None of Vermont's five Particulate Matter less than 10 Microns (PM10) sites in
operation recorded violations or exceedances of the NAAQS. The highest value recorded
was in Rutland, at 74 ug/m3 (49% of the NAAQS). The PM10 five year trend graphs reveal
a decreasing trend in the annual mean for the Brattleboro site.

Explanatory Notes:
The Purpose of this Report:
The purpose of this report is to compare the NAMS air quality data that are in
AIRS/AOS with what should be there, and to report the results for each state.
Explanation of Key:
KEY: Did NOT Meet Regi*ement ‘] Met R.afltement D No Reponi g Reqjirement
This means that AM P430 shows that ‘The numbers of monitors meeting summary
cnteria” Is less than the “number of monitors” for that quarter, for that
pollutant, for that state. The number inside the box indicates the percentage
of monitors meeting the data completeness criteria.
For PM1O the data for a monitor must meet 2 requIrements to meet summary
criteria: (1) the data capture must be 75% based on the sampling frequency
reported with the data and (2) the sampling frequency reported with the data
must be at least as frequent as the required sampling frequency based on
40 CFR Part 58.
D This means that the two numbers referred to above are equal.
This means that the “numbers of monitors” referred to above is ZERO. There
may, in reality, be a reporting requirement but as yet no approved NAMS
monitor; this report would categorize that situation as “no reporting
requirement.”

TABLE 7
Region I 1992 Performance Audit Program
Region I conducts an audit program to assess the performance of Ambient Air Monitoring
Networks to provide operators of these Networks with technical assistance to maintain and
improve overall data quality. The audit procedures used in Region I are adapted from Volume
n, of the U.S. EPA Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurements. Gaseous
pollutant audits are conducted by introducing a known concentration of a specific pollutant
(traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST) into the monitor's
sample intake, recording the response of the audited instrument, and comparing the instrument's
response to the actual or known concentration. Mass Flow and Volumetric Flow controlled
instruments for Paniculate Matter less than 10 microns in size (PM]0) are audited by attaching
a reference flow device to the monitor which restricts air flow to a known rate. The known air
flow rate is then compared with the rate of flow indicated by the sampler. These on site
performance audits are conducted by EPA Region I Ambient Air and Emissions Monitoring
Section in Lexington.
A total of 130 audits were conducted in the six New England States on instruments that
measure Ozone (O3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Paniculate Matter less than 10 microns in size
(PM10) and Carbon Monoxide (CO).
Of the 42 O3 audits conducted in 1992, 96% passed, 2% were Marginal, and 2% failed.
Region Fs O3 audits continue to focus on coastal O3 sites due to the concern that O3 may be
transported up the coast and peak O3 levels are usually experienced at these sites.
All of the 16 SO2 audits which were conducted in 1992 passed. The number of SO2
audits have been decreased due to excellent performance in past years of state monitoring
networks. For this pollutant, several representative audits were conducted for each state
network.
Fifty-three PMj0 audits were conducted with no failures in 1992. Of the 19 CO audits
conducted in 1992, 95% passed, 0% were Marginal, and 5% failed.
