1.0 Introduction
Background and Program Goals
The basic principles of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Traceability Protocol
for the Assay and Certification of Gaseous Calibration Standards (EPA, 1997)1 were developed
jointly by EPA, the National Bureau of Standards (now National Institute of Standards and
Technology [NIST]), and specialty gas producers over 30 years ago. At the time, commercially-
prepared calibration gases were perceived as being too inaccurate and too unstable for use in
calibrations and audits of continuous source emission monitors and ambient air quality
monitors . The protocol was developed to improve their quality by establishing their traceability
to NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and to provide reasonably priced products. This
protocol established the gas metrological procedures for measurement and certification of these
calibration gases for EPA's Acid Rain Program under 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 75, for the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program under 40 CFR Part 58, and for the
Source Testing Program under 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 68. EPA required monitoring
organizations implementing these programs ("the regulated community") to use EPA Protocol
Gases as their calibration gases. EPA revised the protocol to establish detailed statistical
procedures for estimating the total uncertainty of these gases. EPA's Acid Rain Program
developed acceptance criteria for the uncertainty estimate3.
Specialty gas producers prepare and analyze EPA Protocol Gases without direct governmental
oversight. In the 1980s and 1990s, EPA conducted a series of EPA-funded accuracy assessments
of EPA Protocol Gases sold by producers. The intent of these audits was to:
increase the acceptance and use of EPA Protocol Gases as calibration gases;
provide a quality assurance (QA) check for the producers of these gases; and
help users identify producers who can consistently provide accurately certified gases.
Either directly or through third parties, EPA procured EPA Protocol Gases from the producers,
assessed the accuracy of the gases' certified concentrations through independent analyses, and
inspected the accompanying certificates of analysis for completeness and accuracy. The
producers were not aware that EPA had procured the gases for these audits.
The accuracy of the EPA Protocol Gases' certified concentrations was assessed using SRMs as
the analytical reference standards. If the difference between the audit's measured concentration
and the producer's certified concentration was more than +/- 2.0 percent or if the documentation
was incomplete or inaccurate, EPA notified the producer to resolve and correct the problem.

-------
The results of the accuracy assessments were published in peer-reviewed journals and were
posted on EPA's Technology Transfer Network website. The accuracy assessments were
discontinued in 1998.
In 2009, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) published the report EPA Needs an Oversight
Program for Protocol Gases4. One of the report's findings suggested that EPA "does not have
reasonable assurance that the gases that are used to calibrate emissions monitors for the Acid
Rain Program and continuous ambient monitors for the nation's air monitoring network are
accurate". OIG recommended that OAR implement oversight programs to assure the quality of
the EPA Protocol Gases that are used to calibrate these monitors. It also recommended that
EPA's ORD update and maintain the document Traceability Protocol for Assay and Certification
of Gaseous Calibration Standards to ensure that the monitoring programs' objectives are met.
In order to address the OIG findings for ambient air monitoring, OAQPS, in cooperation with
EPA Region 2 and 7 developed an Ambient Air Protocol Gas Verification Program (AA-PGVP).
The program establishes gas metrology laboratories in Regions 2 and 7 to verify the certified
concentrations of EPA Protocol Gases used to calibrate ambient air quality monitors. The
program is expected to ensure that producers selling EPA Protocol Gases participate in the AA-
PGVP, and provide end users with information about participating producers and verification
results.
The EPA Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program's QA requirements 40 CFR Part 58,
Appendix A require:
2.6 Gaseous and Flow Rate Audit Standards. Gaseous pollutant concentration
standards (permeation devices or cylinders of compressed gas) used to obtain test
concentrations for CO, SO 2, NO, and NO 2 must be traceable to either a National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Traceable Reference Material (NTRM),
NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM) and Netherlands Measurement Institute
(NMi) Primary Reference Materials (valid as covered by Joint Declaration of
Equivalence) or a NIST-certified Gas Manufacturer's Internal Standard (GMIS),
certified in accordance with one of the procedures given in reference 4 of this appendix.
Vendors advertising certification with the procedures provided in reference 4 of this
appendix and distributing gases as "EPA Protocol Gas " must participate in the EPA
Protocol Gas Verification Program or not use "EPA " in any form of advertising.
This program is considered a verification program because its current level of evaluation does
not allow for a large enough sample of EPA Protocol Gases from any one specialty gas producer
to yield a statistically rigorous assessment of the accuracy of the producer's gases. It will not
provide end users with a scientifically defensible estimate of whether gases of acceptable quality
can be purchased from a specific producer. Rather, the results provide information to end users
that the specialty gas producer is participating in the program and with information that may be
helpful when selecting a producer.

2.0 Implementation Summary
Since program implementation started in 2010, when most of the initial preparation work took
place, there were no major "new" implementation activities in 2012. The following provides a
brief explanation of the 2012 implementation process.
Producer Information Data Collection-In 2010 EPA sent out an Excel spreadsheet to each
monitoring organization in order to obtain information on the gas standard producers being used
by the monitoring organization and to determine their interest in participating in the program. In
2011, EPA worked with Research Triangle Institute to develop a web-based survey that one
point of contact for each monitoring organization could access. This made recording and
evaluation of the survey information much easier for the monitoring organizations and EPA.
Based on the information obtained from monitoring organization surveys, EPA developed a list
of the specialty gas producers being used by the monitoring organizations. From this list, EPA
identified at least one point of contact for each producer. Most of the producers were the same as
listed the previous year but a few new producers were added.
AA-PGVP Verification Dates - OAQPS worked with the Region 2 and 7 Regional Analytical
Verification Laboratories (RAVLs) to establish verification dates as indicated in Table 1. The
dates were posted on the AMTIC website6. Monitoring organizations would contact the Regions
to schedule cylinder verifications.

EPA contacted the producers by email to invite them to visit the RAVLs. The Region 2 open
house was December 5-6, 2012 and received two specialty producers. The Region 7 open house
was November 27-29 and received three specialty gas producers.

1. EPA sends emails to the monitoring organization's point of contact to complete the AA-
PGVG Survey. EPA compiles information on specialty gas producers and the monitoring
organizations that plan to participate. EPA tries to schedule the monitoring organization
in an appropriate verification quarter based on delivery of standards from the specialty
gas producer.
2. The monitoring organizations order gas standards from specialty gas producers during the
normal course of business. If EPA cannot get a cylinder from the monitoring
organization, and that producer is being used, EPA will invite the producer to send a
cylinder directly to an RAVL.
3. The monitoring organizations send a new/unused standard, specialty gas certification and
chain of custody form to the RAVLs.
4. The RAVLS analyze the cylinders and provide the validated results to OAQPS and the
monitoring organizations.
5. OAQPS reviews the data and sends verification results to the specialty gas vendors.
6. At the end of the year, OAQPS compiles final results into a report, sends the report out to
the specialty gas vendors and posts it on the AA-PGVP AMTIC web page.

3.0 Survey and Verification Results
Monitoring Organization Survey
Based upon the maximum capability of 40 gas cylinders per RAVL per year, the AA-PGVP
selection goal, in the following order, is:
1) One gas standard from every specialty gas producer being used by the monitoring
community
2) Three standards per specialty gas producer
3) Weight additional standards by producer market share in ambient air monitoring
community
In order to determine what specialty gas producers were being used by monitoring organizations,
EPA asked each monitoring organization to complete a web-based survey. For the 2012 AA-
PGVP, EPA received surveys from 87 of a possible 120 monitoring organizations, which is
about a 72% response rate. This was an improvement from 2011; but still slightly lower than the
input received from 2010, which was around 75%.

(87 responses, 100 selections)

Matheson
The 87 monitoring organizations identified 100
specialty gas producers since some monitoring
organizations used multiple specialty gas
producers. Figure 2 identifies, as a percentage
of the total responses, how often the monitoring
organizations listed a particular specialty gas
producer. As mentioned above, only about 72%
of the monitoring organizations responded so this
cannot be considered a complete survey.
Figure 2. Specialty Gas Producer Use
Eight specialty gas producers were identified in the survey. However, some gas producers have
more than one production facility and it is the intent of the AA-PGVP to try and receive one gas
cylinder from every production facility being used by monitoring organizations (see Table 3).
Participation in the AA-PGVP is voluntary. The survey asked whether a monitoring
organization was receiving new gas standards during the year and, also, whether they would like
to participate by sending a cylinder to one of the RAVLs. Of the 87 respondents, 35 either did
not want to participate or were not receiving a cylinder during the year. This narrowed the
participants down to 52. Of the possible participants, 11 monitoring organizations sent cylinders
to EPA. EPA did not have a monitoring organization volunteer submit a cylinder from
Matheson, Liquid Technology or Red Ball. EPA invited those participants to send a cylinder to
EPA as well as other producers listed in Table 3, with the exception of Tier 5 Labs which was
added to the list in late 2012. Table 2 lists the cylinders verified in CY2012. Some of these

cylinders contained multiple pollutants so, although 53 cylinders were sent to the RAVLs, 58
verifications were performed.

Specialty Gas Producers
EPA contacted all the specialty gas producers in the survey to:
make them aware that EPA was starting the AA-PGVP,
describe the details of the program and the website where they could find additional
information,
ask them to identify all of their production facilities so we could determine how to select
cylinders from each production facility used, and
make them aware that EPA would be scheduling an open house toward the end of the
year.
Table 3 provides the information gathered in 2010 through 2012 surveys. Since the Emissions
Monitoring Protocol Gas Verification Program7 and the AA-PGVP share the same producer
listing and coding scheme, Table 3 identifies the producers on both lists. The producers shaded
in green were identified on the AA-PGVP surveys. The facilities shaded in yellow were the
facilities that the RAVLs received a cylinder for verification from monitoring organization while
those shaded in blue were provided directly from producers. The facilities shaded in red were
identified on the monitoring organization surveys but a standard from that facility was not
provided in the RAVLs in 2012. For 2012, of the eight producers identified on the Surveys, only
Matheson Tri-Gas was not verified. In addition, EPA performed verifications on five producers
that were not identified in the surveys as being used in 2012.

AA-PGVP 2012 Report 5/2013
-------
Verification Results
As indicated in 40 CFR Part 75 Appendix A, EPA Protocol Gases must have a certified
uncertainty (95 percent confidence interval) that must not be greater than plus or minus (+) 2.0
percent of the certified concentration (tag value) of the gas mixture. This acceptance criterion is
for the Acid Rain Program. The AA-PGVP adopted the criteria as its data quality objective and
developed a quality system to allow the RAVLs to determine whether or not an individual
protocol gas standard concentration was within + 2% of the certified value. The Ambient Air
Program has never identified an acceptance criterion for the protocol gases. Since the AA-PGVP
has not been established to provide a statistically rigorous assessment of any specialty gas
producer, the RAVLs report all valid results as analyzed but it is suggested that any difference
greater than 4-5% is cause for concern. Information related to the analytical reference standards,
analytical instruments and methods used, the data reduction procedures and the data assessment
procedures are all found in the AA-PGVP QAPP and SOP and are not repeated in this report8.
Table 4 is the measurement quality objectives table that is included in the AA- PGVP QAPP
(Table 7-1 in QAPP). The acceptance criteria in Table 4 were met for each day of verification.
In addition, conformance to these requirements can be found in the measurement data
worksheets (MDW) that are generated for each comparison run and are available upon request.
Appendix A provides a report of the quality control (QC) checks associated with each
verification run. Table 5 provides the verification results for CO and SO2 and Table 6 provides
the NOX results.

Table 7 Relative Percent Difference of
QC Cylinder
Scott-Marrin cylinders CA08860 (CO), CC32737
(SO2), and CC327233 (NOX) - all identified with the
double-asterisk (**) - were the internal QC cylinders
verified by both laboratories. Although shown here,
they were not part of the totals in Table 2. The
internal QC results for CO, SO2 and NOX showed
very good agreement, and all were well within the
2% RPD measurement quality objective. As
important as the agreement of the QC sample to the certified concentration, equally important is
the comparability of the concentrations of the two RAVLs. Table 7 provides the relative percent
differences (dt ) of the paired QA sample concentrations, and is defined as:

Selecting which lab was Xt and Yt was arbitrary.
Out of the 58 verification results, seven were greater than the +2% Acid Rain Program criteria
and only one value was greater than AA-PGVP 4-5% criteria. The SO2 cylinder in this range
was verified in the third quarter by the Region 2 RAVL on 8/29/2012. The results were
AA-PGVP 2012 Report 5/2013

-------
reverified during another cylinder verification run on 9/6/2012 and confirmed the results from
the first verification. EPA, per the implementation requirements of the program, notified the
producer of all results for that quarter on 9/18/2012 and identified the cylinder above 4% in the
email. No additional follow-up with the producer occurred.
Summary and Conclusions
In general, the AA-PGVP 2012 verifications have been successful. The quality system, standard
operating procedures, analytical equipment and standards maintained the data quality of the
program. Results show that of the 58 verifications, 57 (98%) were within the + 4-5% AA-PGVP
criteria, and 51 (88%) were within the + 2% Acid Rain Program criteria.
The following lists some areas of the program that need improvement:
Survey Improvement- Some improvements were made in survey completness in 2012 but EPA
did not acheive 100% completeness on surveys in 2012. Despite repeated email messages ona
two week basis to delinquent monitoring organizations, EPA was not able to get all monitoring
organizations to respond. EPA may have to resort to individual phone calls at some point to meet
the completeness goals.
Participation Improvement - Since the program is voluntary, EPA can not force participation.
Due to the budget/resource issues, many monitoring organization are more resource constrained
and, since the AA-PGVP is optional, it is treated as a lower priority. Since the only added
expense to monitoring organization is the shipping of cylinders to the RAVL, in 2011 EPA
started helping monitoring organizations pay for the shipping cost. EPA continued this in 2012,
and plans to improve upon this in 2013 in the hopes of getting more organizations to participate.
Quarterly Interlaboratory QC Checks - The analysis of the same standard by both RAVLs
proved to be a useful tool for checking the quality of the AA-PGVP results. In 2011 and 2012,
the RAVLS performed one check each. In 2013 the Regions will conduct the check in two
quarters along with the routine QC activities associated with each verification run.
