PREFACE
This document is an update of "Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the
Atmosphere: An Assessment of Available Data", by Brodzinsky and Singh, EPA
600/3-83-027(a) and is the result of an ongoing effort to gather, evaluate and
compile ambient concentrations of more than 300 VOCs into microcomputer
readable format to allow wide distribution and easy access. All the information
from the original data base (covering the years 1970 to 1980) have been included
in this update. The reader is encouraged to consult the original document for
information on VOCs concentrations prior to 1980.
While this data base has many applications, users must recognize that it also has
many potential abuses. Researchers collect and measure VOCs for a wide variety
of purposes. A summary of these purposes is provided in the data base for many
studies but the original references should be consulted for more detailed
information. In addition, all available data were included and were given a
quality rating. It is ultimately the data base user's responsibility to assess the
applicability of the data base for specific uses.
Because this is an ongoing effort, users arc encouraged to send data not included
here for inclusion in future updates to Dr. Larry Cupitt, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, ASRL, Mail Drop 84, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. The
support and cooperation of interested users are essential to the continued vitality
of the data base.
This data base can be obtained from (Dr. Jitendra Shah, President, G2
Environmental, Inc., 304 S.W. Hamilton Street, Portland, Oregon 97201
(503) 228-2335) one of the authors of this report; or the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS).

I. INTRODUCTION
A.	Background
Anticipation of new federal regulations for air toxics has placed added
emphasis on the measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in most
states.	Consequently, knowledge concerning ambient atmospheric
concentrations of VOCs has advanced considerably in the last decade.
A national ambient VOCs data base was prepared for the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by collecting, evaluating and
consolidating reports of ambient concentrations of VOCs in the United
States for the years 1970 to 1980 (Brodzinsky and Singh, 1983). The EPA
report was well received and has proven to be a useful document to many
researchers.
In this study, the 1980 data base has been updated to include ambient and
indoor VOCs concentrations in urban, rural, remote, source-dominated and
indoor environments for the years 1980 to 1987. It covers more than 300
potentially hazardous VOCs. The updated data base is available on
microcomputer (IBM PC-compatible) diskettes for use with dBASE III+, a
relational data base management system.
This data base has many potential uses (Shah et al., 1987a and b; Shah
1988 a, b and c; Shah and Heyerdahl 1988). It can allow preliminary
comparison of air quality in urban, non-urban, source-dominated and indoor
environments. It can highlight areas of adequate and inadequate
information, allowing more efficient allocation of resources. It can also
provide a foundation for evaluating the implications of state and federal
regulations and litigations with industry.
B.	Obi ectives
Objectives of the data base update were to:
•	Review the 1980 VOCs data base and correct any discrepancies found;
•	Identify new published and unpublished VOCs data, critically evaluate
it, combine it with the previous data and summarize the resulting data
base; and
•	Provide the resulting data base in a microcomputer dBASE III+ format
designed to facilitate searching, sorting, editing, analysis and other
manipulations.
C.	The 1.980 VOCs Data Base
The existing VOCs data base, "Volatile Organic Chemicals in the
Atmosphere: An Assessment of Available Data," EPA 600/3-83-027(a), was
published in 1983. It contained data collected from 1970 to 1980 and was
created under a previous EPA contract in which 241 articles were
evaluated. Of these, 67 yielded 17,700 records of information on 132
chemicals; each record represented all the reported measurements for one
chemical at one site during one day.
1

-------
In addition, each data record includes maximum and minimum concentrations;
the total number of measurements included in the average and the number of
those which were below the detection limit or equal to zero; sampling and
analysis methods; sample start and stop times; time elapsed between
sampling and analysis; detection limit; and a quality rating. These data
have also been included in the 1987 data base.
All data were evaluated for their usefulness in concentration trend
analysis. It was found that for any specific chemical, too little data
were available to make accurate health assessments or trend analyses. The
data also were discovered to be limited primarily to the warmer months and
daylight hours, as well as to a few geographical regions.
NOTE: In this report, the original VOCs data base will be referred to as
the 1980 data base, while the update will be referred to as the 1987 VOCs
data base. The 1987 data base includes all of the 1980 data base.

II. TECHNICAL APPROACH
This section describes the work elements required to achieve each of the
objectives identified in Section I as well as details of data base file
structures and contents.
A. Review of the 1980 Data Base
The 1987 data base subsumed the 17,700 records of the 1980 data base
(Brodzinsky and Singh, 1983). The reformatting and review of the 1980
data base are discussed in the following two sections.
1.	Reformatting and Modification of the 1980 Data Base
The 1980 data base, which consisted of 151 ASCII files, each
containing all the information on one chemical, was combined into six
dBase III+ files. The relational nature of dBase III+ permits the
linking of these files on key fields such as reference, site, and
chemical identification numbers which allows the elimination of much
duplication of data. For example, the information identifying a
specific site occupies one record in the VOC_SITE.DBF file rather than
several original fields of every record for each sample which was
taken at that site in the ASCII files. This represents considerable
conservation of computer storage when dealing with large data bases.
Two other major changes were made to the 1980 data base. The
concentrations were converted from parts per trillion volume (pptv) to
parts per billion volume (ppbv). The chemical identification numbers
were re-assigned as detailed in Section II.B.3 and the old and new
chemical identification numbers are listed in Appendix A. The
conversion factors for converting the data into parts per billion
Carbon (ppbC) or ug/m3 are included in a chemical information file
discussed in Section II.B.4.
2.	Brief Description of dBase IIT t- Files
Each of the dBase IJ.I+ files created for the 1987 data base are
briefly described below. The structures of these files are given in
Table II-l and their contents discussed in detail in Section II.B.4.
VOC_AMBI.DBF - This ambient daily average concentrations file contains
supporting information and the data quality evaluation.
VOC	INDO.DBF - This file contains indoor daily average concentrations,
supporting information and the data quality evaluation.
VOC_MTHD.DBF - Sampling and analysis methods as well as the minimum
quantitation limit are provided in this file.
VOC_SITE.DBF - This file contains information on the sampling sites.
VOC	REFS.DBF - Bibliographic information on the references from which
the data were extracted is included in this file.

3. Review of 1980 Data Base
Fifteen references were selected at random to be checked for data
extraction and input errors. However, the references thus chosen did
not yield sufficient data records for an adequate evaluation.
Therefore, thirteen additional references (for a total of 20% of the
references from which data were extracted) were selected which yielded
approximately 1000 data records. Of these, we examined 175 records to
ascertain errors, if any. Almost no data entry errors were found.
Several instances of minor inconsistencies between stated procedure
and actual procedure were discovered, but these were minimal and the
integrity of the data base was not called into question. A listing of
the specific errors found is provided in Appendix D.
Several other corrections were made to the 1980 data base. New
categories were added for analysis methods of aldehydes,
pararosaniline (P-ROSE) and chromotropic acid (CTA). When
appropriate, and where possible these methods were substituted for wet
chemical (WETCHEM) in the 1980 data base. Site information was
adjusted for reference 41 to improve consistency. Much of the data
from reference 21 was replaced by data from reference 284.
While we did not specifically search for data from before 1980 during
the update, we encountered several studies from this time period which
were not in the 1980 data base but which yielded useful information
and were included in the 1987 data base.
B. Addition of New Data
1. Eligibility of Data for the 1987 Data Base
The data which were eligible for inclusion in the 1987 data base
varied slightly from those which were eligible for inclusion in the
1980 data base. We specifically sought data only for the 151
chemicals which were targeted for the 1980 data base; however, when
encountered, we extracted data on other VOCs. Therefore, the 1987
data base covers more than 300 chemicals.
We specifically sought data only from 1980 to the present, but again
if we encountered eligible data from before 1980, we included them in
the update.
We sought data from both the outdoor and indoor environments.
However, indoor concentrations are limited to either residential or
office spaces, while outdoor data are limited to fenceline and
beyond. The outdoor and indoor data are separated into two data bases
with same structure. The indoor data base (VOC	INDO.DBF) also
contains the outdoor measurements data associated with the indoor
measurements reported in references.
6

-------
We sought new data collected only in the United States. A very-
limited amount of data from Canadian sites was included in the 1980
data base.
We used daily average concentrations where more than one sample was
taken per day.
The vast majority of the data are surface measurements. We did
include aircraft samples taken from the troposphere, but not from the
stratosphere (10 to 50km).
Obtaining New Data
We began our search for data by sending surveys to numerous
individuals, most of whom were known to be working with VOCs. Only a
dozen or so individuals replied and only half of these provided data.
We therefore contacted researchers by telephone. This yielded a
substantial amount of data both in the form of published and
unpublished reports and journal articles, and in computer readable
data. An example of the survey is provided in Appendix B.
The second major data acquisition effort was a computerized literature
search using the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) data base accessed
through the DIALOG Information Retrieval Service.
The search was conducted by key words combined with CAS registry
numbers as outlined below.

These keywords were combined into one group using the Boolean "or",
which eliminated duplicate references. This group was then combined,
using the Boolean "and", with CAS registry numbers for each of the 151
target chemicals. This yielded 3000 references. The titles of these
references were reviewed and rejected if they indicated: (1) a study

-------
of emissions or sources; (2) a solely health related study; (3) a
laboratory or modeling study; or, (4) an industrial workplace study.
Thus, of the original 3000 references, 710 were determined to be
potentially eligible for inclusion in the update. As many of these
references as possible were located and reviewed.
3.	Chemicals Included in the 1987 VOCs Data Base
As indicated above, we actively sought only the 151 chemicals which
were targeted for the 1980 data base. However, data about other
eligible volatile organic chemicals which were sampled along with
these targeted chemicals were also extracted. This increased the
number of chemicals to 320. Chemicals which were eligible for
inclusion were those: (1) with vapor pressures greater than 10"6
Torr at 20 °C; (2) known to exist predominantly in the gas phase,
not the particle phase; and, (3) which were not pesticides.
This addition of chemicals to the data base necessitated the
reassignment of the chemical identification numbers. It was decided
for several reasons to abandon the health hazard categories which were
implicit in the chemical identification numbers for the 1980 data
base. The health hazards posed by some chemicals are unknown or
ambiguous, and the dBASE III+ structure allows convenient regrouping
of chemical species by health effects and other researches.
To assign the new chemical identification numbers, the chemicals were
ordered by CAS registry number and numbered sequentially. The four
chemicals for which we could find no CAS registry number (diphenyl
ether, cumene, butyne, and 7-methyl-3-methylene-l, 6-octadiene ) were
assigned a value in the CAS registry number field of 00-00-1 through
00-00-4. A listing of the chemical identification numbers used in the
1980 data base along with their corresponding identification numbers
in the 1987 data base are provided in Appendix A.
Chemicals which were often not resolved, such as the m/p-xylenes, were
often reported as a single concentration. However, changes in
sampling and analysis methods have sometimes allowed the
concentrations of these chemicals to be determined separately. For
those species which were reported as unresolved peaks of two
chemicals, the data were reported under both chemical identification
numbers and a note placed in the comments field that the concentration
was unresolved. This was done for both the 1980 and the 1987 data
bases.
4.	Description of Data Bases File Structure
In order to conserve computer storage space by eliminating repeated
fields, the data base has been divided into seven files. These can be
easily linked together on key fields using simple dBase III+ commands
or the dBase III+ utility programs provided with the data base. The
data files, their sizes and the number of records they contain, are
given in Table II-2. Their structures were outlined previously in
Table II-l.

The following paragraphs provide a detailed discussion of the purpose
of each file and its fields. All fields with the same name,
regardless of the file in which they are found, contain similar
information and are the key fields. The contents of these fields will
only be explained for the file in which they are first encountered.
In general, character fields which contain numbers, REF	ID for
example, are right justified. The one exception is the CAS	NO field
which is left justified. All entries are in uppercase for all files
with the exception of VOC_REF.DBF which is in both upper and lower
case.
VOC AMBI.DBF and VOC	INDO.DBF: The largest files contain ambient
and indoor daily average concentrations and supporting information
respectively. These files also contain the data quality evaluation
ranking and rating. Both of these files have the same structures.
VOC AMBI.DBF contains the ambient concentration data, while
VOC_INDO.DBF contains the indoor and associated ambient data.
REF_ID: This field contains the number of the reference from
which the data is drawn. Reference numbers for the 1987 data base
begin with number 242.
SITE_ID: Site numbers were assigned beginning with 1 for each
reference. Therefore, both the reference and the site number are
required to uniquely define a site and both must be used in
linking files together. In cases where more than one method was
employed for sampling or analysis of a particular chemical, a
different site number was assigned to data from each method.
CHEH	ID: The chemical identification number is a three
character number unique to this data base. These chemical
identification numbers serve the same function as the chemical
identifiers used in the 1980 data base but they are not identical
for reasons explained in Section I.B.3. A list of the chemical
identifiers from the 1980 data base and their corresponding values
for this update are contained in Appendix A. The new numbers were
derived from an ordered list of the CAS numbers. Therefore, they
are essentially arbitrary. This renumbering was necessitated by
the addition of more than 150 new chemicals to the data base. The
hazard categories from the 1980 data base have been eliminated as
explained in Section II.B.3.
C0NC_PPB: This field contains the concentration in parts per
billion by volume. In the case where more than one sample was
taken per day, the concentrations were, in general, averaged and
weighted by sampling time when the sampling time varied over the
course of one day. For the case in which more than one sample was
included in the average, values less than the minimum quantifiable
limit (MQL) were included as one half of the MQL when the MQL was
given. If the MQL was not given, values less than MQL will be
10

-------
VOC_AMBI.DBF and VOC_INDO.DBF (cont.)
included as zeros in the average. If the resulting average was
less than the MQL, a zero was entered into the data base,
otherwise the calculated average was input. When only a daily
average concentration was reported as less than MQL, zeros were
input.
RSD: The relative standard deviation is expressed in percent. It
is the standard deviation of the concentration divided by the average
concentration multiplied by 100. This could be either the computed
RSD for the multiple samples comprising a single record in the data
base of the estimated RSD for repetitive measurements using the
sampling and analysis techniques.
NUM SMPLS: This field gives the number	of samples used to
compute the average concentration.
MIN_C0NC: The minimum concentration included	in the average.
This field is blank when the record represents	only one sample.
MAX CONC: The maximum concentration included in the average.
This field is blank when the record represents only one sample.
NUMLESSMQL: The number of concentration values included in the
average which are less than the minimum quantitation limit.
START	DATE: The date on which sampling began. In the case of
samples where no day of the month or month of the year is
provided, the start date was input as the first day of that month
or year and the stop date as the last day of that month or year.
While it was recognized that a null value for the day or month
would have eliminated confusion on this point, dBase III+ requires
a value.
START	TIME: The time at which sampling began, based on the 24
hour clock. If no time was given "0000" was entered.
ST0P_DATE: The date on which sampling ended. See START_DATE.
ST0P_TIME: The time at which sampling ended, based on the 24
hour clock. If no time was given "0000" was entered.
DELAY HRS: The time between sampling and analysis, in hours.
We did not distinguish between cases where the delay time was
actually zero (i.e. direct sampling) and cases where the delay
time was not given.
RANKING: See Section III for a full discussion of ranking.

VOC_AMBI.DBF and VOC_INDO.DBF (cont.)
RATING: See Section III for a full discussion of the 1980
quality code and the 1987 rating. This field includes both the
quality code which was assigned to the 1980 data base (for
reference numbers less than 242) and the rating assigned to this
update for reference numbers 242 and greater. The quality code is
also explained in the section on rating.
SAMP_DUR: The duration of sampling. Encoded as below.

HR - more than one hour DA - one day (24 hours) >DA - more than one day but less than one week WK - one week >WK - more than one week ? ? ? - unknown COMMENTS: Any pertinent information which did not logically fit into other fields was included here. The duplication of co-eluting chemicals, such as m/p-xylene, (as explained in Section I.B.3), was noted in this field. The sampling height for aircraft samples was also given in this field. The simultaneous measurement of indoor/outdoor concentrations or gaseous/particulate concentrations were also noted in this field. VOC MTHD.DBF: The second largest file contains information on sampling and analysis methods and minimum quantitation limits.

ANAL MTHD: The analysis method was encoded as below. In cases
where more than one method was employed for sampling or analysis
of a particular chemical, a different site number was assigned to
data from each method.

P-ROSE	Pararosaniline
DNPH	Dinitrophenyl hydrazine
GCPIDHEC	GC Photoionization detector, Hall Electrochemical
MQL: This field contains the lower quantifiable limit (LQL)
which represents the variability of field blanks, when it was
available, in parts per billion by volume. If a minimum detection
limit (MDL) which represents the sensitivity of the laboratory
method and is lower than the LQL, was given rather than a minimum
quantifiable limit (MQL), this was input instead.
VOC	SITE.DBF: The third largest file contains information on the
sampling sites. Site numbers were assigned beginning with 1 for each
reference. Therefore, both the reference and site numbers are
required to uniquely define a site and both must be used in linking
files together.
REF_ID:	Defined earlier.
SITE_ID:	Defined earlier.
SITE_TYPE: The site type was encoded as below. We found that
assigning a value to this field was often difficult due both to
lack of primary information about the sampling sites and to
inconsistent use of terras. Distinction between suburban and urban
13

-------
was difficult to make. When possible, we have used the site type
as defined by the authors. In the case of aircraft samples, the
site type corresponds to the surface over which it was sampled.
For example, a sample taken over Houston would be designated urban
and the sampling height noted in the comments field of
VOC_AMBI.DBF and VOC_INDO.DBF.
RE -	Remote (e.g. coastal or free tropospheric)
RU -	Rural
SU -	Suburban
UR -	Urban
SD -	Source dominated
1R -	Indoor residential
IW -	Indoor workplace, this does not include
industrial exposures, rather it is to
distinguish samples collected in offices from
those collected in homes.
PR -	Personal, this does not include industrial
exposures.
LATITUDE In degrees and fractions of a degree. If no specific
value was given, we used center city values. This value is often
not available for indoor samples. Because characteristics of the
building being sampled are more important than exact geographic
location, we did not pursue this value if it was not provided.
LONGITUDE In degrees and fractions of a degree. See LATITUDE.
SITE ADDR The address of the sampling site. For indoor
samples, where an address is rarely given, this field includes
more pertinent information when it was provided, such as the air
changes per hour, age of the house, number of smokers, site
identifier from the original reference, etc.
CITY: The city in which the sampling site is located.
STATE: The state in which the sampling site is located. The
standard two digit code was used.
SAROAD	NO: The SAROAD (Storage and Retrieval of Aerometric
Data) number when it was available.
VOC_REFS.DBF: This file contains bibliographic information on data
sources. The references used in this update were numbered
sequentially beginning with reference 242. While all 241 references
from the 1980 data base are included in this file, data was extracted
from only 61 of these references. Table II-3 lists the number of
records extracted from each of the references. This file has an
associated VOC_REF.DBT file which contains the text of the memo field.
REF ID:	Defined earlier.

and institution which prepared the report.
YEAR: The year in which the reference was published or the
data was provided.
NUM	RECORD: The number of records in VOC	AMBI.DBF and VOC
INDO.DBF which were extracted from the reference.
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the study.	This field also
contains information on other measurements	which may have been
made simultaneously, such as meteorology and	particulate matter,
or other pertinent comments.
VOC	CHEM.DBF: This file contains information on the chemicals for
which data were extracted. Data were extracted on 170 chemicals in
addition to the 151 from the 1980 data base, as explained in
Section II.B.3, bringing the total to 320. This necessitated a
reassignment of the chemical identification numbers developed for the
1980 data base. This is discussed in more detail in Section II.3.B.
In general, this file follows CAS conventions, as noted below. This
file can be used in conjunction with V0C_L0C.DBF, the chemical locator
file, which lists both synonyms of the chemicals included in the data
base as well as related chemicals, and is explained below.
CHEM_ID: Defined earlier.
CAS_N0: The registry number assigned by CAS.
CAS_NAME: The name assigned by CAS.
SYNONYMS: While an attempt was made to include all the common

III. RANKING AND RATING
In this section, we discuss the development of our ranking and rating system
to assess data quality and the results of a pilot study.
A.	Background
Many data bases include data quality codes for overall data quality. The
1980 VOCs data base included such a one-digit code (1 through 4)
corresponding to the potential error limits of the data. Code Z was input
when the authors of the data base were unable to assign a quality code.
The 1980 codes and their meanings are included in Table III-l.
Assignment of quality codes in the 1980 data base was subjective. The
authors integrated the available published and unpublished information
along with their personal knowledge and experience to arrive at quality
codes for the data (Table III-l).
For the new data in the 1987 VOCs data base, we developed a two-step
quality code procedure in an attempt to make the process less subjective
and the codes more meaningful. No attempt was made to reassign ranking
and ratings to the 1980 data base, and the original quality codes have
been retained for these data.
B.	Approach
Instead of reporting a composite score for the data quality as was done
for the 1980 data base, we report two scores: data ranking and data
rating. Ranking is a multi-digit number which gives a numerical
evaluation of factors affecting data quality. Ranking digits range from 0
to 5. Ranking is useful to researchers familiar with VOCs measurements.
The separate digits of the ranking were combined to yield a weighted
average composite which was used to assign rating which is an overall
evaluation of data quality. The composite rating score range was A to D,
and Z. Rating is useful to those not familiar with VOCs measurement
processes or not interested in detailed factor scores. The ranking step,
which we have included explicitly in the 1987 VOCs data base, was implicit
in the quality code for the existing 1980 VOCs data base.
1. Pilot Study
We performed a pilot study to evaluate the data extraction procedure
and the appropriateness of the ranking and rating system. Ten
references were extracted and assessed for quality as described
above. All members of the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) and EPA
staff were asked to review and evaluate these scoring methods.
For the pilot study, a preliminary list of factors affecting data
quality (Table III-2) was developed. The eleven factors originally
proposed were too many to be evaluated usefully and the eleven-digit
number for ranking was too long to be scanned quickly. The eleven
factors were combined to yield four factors titled; methodology,
quantification, representativeness, and documentation for the pilot

1.	The information to make a quantitative assessment was lacking, and the
authors had to rely on their own experience and judgment. Assignment of
codes included consideration of original researcher's comments,
appropriateness of analytic techniques, known limits of techniques'
accuracy, and magnitude of reported concentrations.
2.	The factor £ establishes the probable "best" error limits of the data
assuming good practices were followed in sample collection and analysis.
The "true" concentration is judged to be within a factor of £ from the
measured concentration (e.g., a measurement of 100 with quality code 2,
£=1.5, implies that the "true" concentration may lie between 66.7 and 150).

study. These factors were scored on a scale of 0 to 9. For
calculating a composite average these four factors were assigned
weights of 10, 10, 7.5 and 5, respectively. The composite scores were
divided into classifications and assigned a one-digit rating which
reflected overall data quality. A minimum value (or screen) was
designated for the first two factors (methodology and
quantification). Data falling below this screen are considered
questionable. In cases where one of these two factors falls below the
screen, the data are given a rating of E (not computed). This
protects against erroneous rating of questionable data.
The scoring method and rating system were modified in consultation
with the EPA Project Officer. Because this is a sensitive issue, we
emphasize that any such quality scoring system has limitations.
Furthermore, the importance of data quality depends on applications.
2.	Results of the Pilot Study
Based on the comments from the pilot study review, the rating and
ranking methodology was modified as follows:
0 The factor, "representativeness", was judged too vague and
subjective. It was eliminated.
•	The factor scoring scale of 0 to 9 was judged to be too broad and
conducive to subjective judgment. Instead, a scale of 1 to 5 with
more objective descriptions was judged to be more consistently
applied by the various individuals doing the ranking.
•	The program used to calculate rating from ranking has been
provided in the data base. This will permit future changes or
manipulations of the scoring scale and factor weights.
•	Due to the controversial nature of rating and ranking the data,
the possibility of not performing a quality assessment was
discussed. However, it was felt that data quality codes, although
controversial, were valuable. Users who strongly object to this
procedure can always ignore the quality codes for their
application or assign a different code to their copy of the data
base.
•	The weights given to the factor scores for computing the rating
were found to be reasonable.
3.	Ranking
The new data included in the 1987 data base were evaluated and scored
on each of the three factors selected from the pilot study. These are:
•	Methodology;
•	Quantification; and,
•	Documentation;
21

-------
A scale of 1 to 5 was used. A value of Z was assigned to data that
could not be evaluated to be consistent with the 1980 data base. Each
digit of the ranking is the score for one of the factors listed above,
in that order. A brief description of the factors and their weights
in the composite score is included in Table III-3. These were
determined by a consensus among the authors, the EPA Project Officer,
and some of the PAC members. The factor scoring scheme is included in
Table III-4 for all factors.
Factor Scoring
A factor score of 5 represents excellence or perfection. Since
improvements can always be made on all aspects of VOCs data, none of
the factors were given a score of 5.
A factor score of 4 represents the use of exemplary practices. When
good, but commonplace, procedures were used, a score of 3 was given.
Most of the references were given a score of 3 for most factors. A
score of 2 was given when the procedure was only adequate or
satisfactory. A score of 1 was considered to be "questionable."
Application of this small range of the ranking process provided more
consistent scores: two or more independent reviewers assigned the
same ranking to the data. The data ranking is the list of each
factor's raw score. Different chemicals, and sometimes different
samples, were given individual ranking and rating. Table III-5 lists
the ranking for most of the chemicals and a majority of the data in
each reference included in the 1987 data base.
The number of references which fell into each ranking level is given
in Table III-6.
Factor Weight
Since not all three factors affect data quality equally, different
weights were assigned to each factor. This weight represents the
relative importance of that factor to data quality for this data
base. Documentation, though important for data assessment, was
considered less important than methodology and quantification for data
quality. Although methodology is important, quantification was deemed
to be more important. The factor weights of 30%, 50%, and 20% were
assigned to methodology, quantification, and documentation,
respectively.
Composite Score
The factor scores (Table III-4) were multiplied by the factor weights
(Table III-3) and added together to calculate a composite score. The
theoretical composite score range was 1 to 5.

4. Rating
The composite score range was partitioned for rating. This range and
its relation to rating are given in Table 111-4. The rating
classifications were limited to five categories (A to D and Z) as was
done for the 1980 VOCs data base quality codes and other EPA quality
codes. However, the 1980 data base quality codes have been retained
as digits 1 to 4 and Z, which do not correspond directly to the 1987
data base rating. The short rating description in Table III-4 is not
rigid.
Concentrations which are near detection limits should receive a lower
ranking and rating. However, time constraints did not allow us to do
this.
Table III-7 lists number of references which fell into each rating
category. Although the system of ranking and rating described here is
still subjective, we attempted to broaden the perspective by having
several researchers initially score the data and distribute the
ranking to the PAC members for their review and comments. Data base
users should weigh the applicability of this scheme to their
requirements before making use of the ranking and rating scores.

IV. QUALITY ASSURANCE
In order to ensure accuracy of the data transfer, the following elements of a
QC procedure were an integral part of the data-gathering process in this
project. Each QC procedure and its usefulness is briefly described below.
•	Only experienced data entry personnel were used.
The emphasis on data entry was mainly on accuracy of data entry, and not
on speed. All data entry personnel were experienced and understood the
importance of data accuracy in this project. Data entry personnel worked
for short lengths of time in a given day to avoid errors induced by
fatigue and boredom.
•	Electronic data transfer.
Much of the data obtained for this data base was in the form of diskettes
or magnetic tape and was transferred directly into a dBASE III format.
Data were checked to evaluate the transfer operation for accuracy.
•	Only one person extracted all of the data from each reference. This
effort was followed by quality checks done by the Project Manager. This
allowed for data extraction consistency and accuracy. The quality check
on 10 percent re-extraction did not find many errors.
•	Data Screens in Data Entry Programs
The dBASE III+ software package contains simple error-checking routines to
flag data errors. The data entry programs written for this project were
user friendly with prompts and contained error checks so that values
outside the range of possibilities were rejected along with a sound
prompt. The data entry person had to check and correct the error before
proceeding. All data entries were checked independently to identify
errors.
Project Advisory Committee (PAC) Review
Starting with the Work Plan, this project has been reviewed by the
seven PAC members (EPA staff and other scientists interested in this
project) for accuracy and validity of data evaluation and reporting.
Graphical Data Display and Analysis
Scatterplots and other graphical display techniques to identify
"outliers" or potentially erroneous data were employed. Data outliers
were re-checked when possible to ensure that the information was
correct.

V. SUMMARY
This section summarizes the VOCs data collected. This task was a major
objective of this study. The data summary includes all data and is presented
without interpretation of its meaning. This data base has been described and
its application exemplified by Shah et al., 1987a and b; Shah 1988a, b, and c;
and Shah and Heyerdahl 1988.
The partial list of potential applications of the soft form data base (on
PC-compatible diskettes) includes:
•	Chemical concentration distribution investigation
•	Pattern or trend analysis
•	Intersite concentration variations and their reasons
•	Location of "hot spots"
•	Use with census data for preliminary risk assessment
•	Input to dispersion and receptor modeling
•	Establishing monitoring priorities
•	Review of detection limits or analysis methods in use and their
appropriateness
•	Identity of active researchers
•	Several others
It needs to be emphasized that the data assembled here comes from many
different studies with a wide variety of objectives, sampling time and
methods, and analytical techniques. Thus it has inherent limitations which
must be kept in mind while drawing any conclusion. In general, this data base
can best be used as a screening tool.
Tables V-l and V-2 summarize the daily (24 hr.) average concentrations and
numbers of observations for ambient and indoor data base in ppbv. The ambient
daily average includes the five site types (remote, rural, sub-urban, urban,
and source dominated). The indoor daily average includes the three indoor
site types (indoor residential, indoor offices, and personal) and a small
amount of ambient data included with the indoor references. A blank entry in
the table indicates that no data was available in the data base.
The lower and upper quartile values represent the 25% and 75% values. When
the upper quartile value is lower than the average, it implies that the
average is unduly influenced by a few high values. When median and/or upper
quartiles are zero, it implies that much of the data were zero's. When the
number of samples were one, the measured values were put it the average
column. Considering the diversity of sampling locations, all values in these
tables should be used only as a guideline in determining a chemical's
concentration.

VOC DATA ASSESSMENT/SURVEY FORM

Ambient VOC Data Base Update
Under an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contract, Nero
and Associates, Inc. (NAI) is attempting to collect, evaluate
and process all ambient and indoor data on potentially
hazardous Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC's) obtained in the
United States since 1980. We would like you to fill out the
attached VOC Data Assessment/Survey form and/or send us copies
of reports and data, preferrably on IBM PC readable disks or as
appropriate. The data collected will be incorporated into the
data base on ambient VOC concentrations in urban, rural, source
dominated, personal and indoor environments. The updated data
base in dBASE III will be available for use on IBM compatible
personal computers in the middle of 1987.
Many of you are familiar with the existing VOC data base,
published in 1983, "Volatile Organic Chemicals in the
Atmosphere:	An	Assessment	of Available Data,"
EPA-600/3-83-027(a). This data base, containing data collected
from 1970 to 1980, was created under a previous EPA contract in
which 241 articles were evaluated. Of these, 67 yielded 17,700
records of information on 132 chemicals, each record
representing all the reported measurements for one chemical at
one site during one day. The data were also evaluated for
quality. We have enclosed summary tables from this data base
for your use, and to emphasize that the time spent responding
to our assessment form will be rewarded with an improved,
publically available data base. It is expected that the new
data base will have even wider applications.
In addition to data extraction and quality assessment, the
update will include an exploratory analysis of the data to
attempt investigation of questions such as the following:
-	What is the likely range and distribution of
ambient concentrations for the various chemicals?
-	Are there any detectable patterns or trends?
-	Are there detectable chemical "hot spots," or
are the ambient concentrations relatively consistent
over wide areas?
As an expert in the field of trace species analysis, you are
well aware of the sampling, analysis, and quality assurance
details necessary to compile such a data base. The attached
assessment form is designed to save you time and elicit
consistent responses. Data in the form of PC readable disks,
3-/

-------
reports, papers, or hand written documents should also be
attached. If you provide PC readable disks, please specify
the computer and format of the data. Also, we prefer the data
to be submitted as daily averages but any averaging period is
acceptable.
When multiple chemicals are measured at multiple sites, the
forms can be duplicated. You may elect to send us the
attachments in the form of reports alone if your time does not
permit completion of the form. Of course, completing the form
entirely, or even answering the questions not covered in your
report, will improve the completeness and the usefulness of the
database.
Your cooperation in submitting VOC data is greatly
appreciated. The resulting data base will be available on
diskettes from EPA or NAI upon completion of this project.
Confidential information is optional for the attached
questionnaire. Please remember, this data base cannot be
compiled without your help. The extensiveness of the data is
directly proportional to the number of scientists responding to
this survey.
If you have new data that you are not willing to divulge,
please let us know what information is likely to be available
in the near future. Also, if you are aware of colleagues who
are generating data which could be included in the data base,
please let us know so that we may contact them.
Please do not hesitate to call Jitendra Shah of NAI at (503)
223-4150, or Larry Cupitt of EPA at (919) 541-2878, if you
have questions or comments about this project.

Dear Larry:
We have completed the QA check for 13 of the 15 references suggested by
Hanwant Singh. These 13 articles yielded about 1,000 data records; we checked
about 175 of these to ascertain the types of errors which were occurring. We
wanted to summarize these for you and solicit your input regarding whether it
is reasonable to expend the considerable amount of time to actually check all
the information for each data record.
I have enclosed a list of specific problems for each reference. To summarize,
the actual numbers were rarely wrong, problems occurred instead with
improperly combining sites, failing to extract all useful data and incorrectly
reporting standard deviations and minimum detection limits. We did not
attempt to recreate the quality codes for checking. We also did not check the
longitude and latitude if they were not provided in the reference. These
activities would require much more time than is allotted for this task.
Please review the enclosed list and let us know where you would like us to go
next.
Additionally, if they are easy to obtain, could you please send us references
20 and 229? We have copies but they are on microfiche and we hate to waste
project time sitting in front of a microfiche machine making copies!
Sincerely,

APPENDIX D
USER'S GUIDE TO
VOC DATA BASE UTILITY PROGRAM
0-1

-------
VOC DATA BASE UTILITY PROGRAM
1.0 General Description/Scope
The VOC Utility Program is a menu-driven data entry program written in
the dBase III+ programming language. The program provides the user with
a simple method of entering new data into one of five VOC data bases
and/or extracting pertinent data based on a set of user identifiable
filters.
It is assumed that the user has a working knowledge of MS-DOS and
dBase III+. Therefore, no attempt will be made in this procedure to
describe in detail MS-DOS or dBase III+ commands.
2.0 Requirements
- dBase III+ Plus (Version 1.0) or greater
3.0 Getting Started
3.1	Make sure that the VOC utility program has a path to the VOC
data base files or is in the same directory.
3.2	Invoke dBase III+ and at the dot prompt type:
.DO VOC (ct)
The program will present an opening page and proceed to verify
that all necessary files are present. If any files are detected
missing then the user will be presented a list of the missing
files. If this occurs, verify that all files are in the default
directory. A full list of the program files can be found in the
data base file V0C_FILE.DBF.
3.3	Once the file verification is complete, the MAIN MENU will be
displayed. The user can then select:
(1)	enter new data
(2)	extract old data
(3)	set certain program operating parameters, or
(A) quit.
Any menu item can be selected by simply pressing the associated
number on the keyboard. Any keyboard entry other than a menu
selection will be ignored.
4.0 Program Description
4.1 MAIN MENU
Four options are provided at the MAIN MENU.
(1)	Enter new Data
(2)	Extract Data
D-l

-------
(3)	"Utility
(4)	Exit Program
4.4.1	(1) Enter new Data
After selecting number "1" at the MAIN MENU the user will
presented with the new data menu. This menu has six (6)
possible selections all with the sole purpose of entering
new data into the individual VOC data bases.
(1)	Enter new SITE data
Use this selection to enter new data into the
VOC_SITE.DBF data base.
(2)	Enter new METHOD data
Use this selection to enter new data into the
VOC_MTHD.DBF data base.
(3)	Enter new CONCENTRATION data
Use this selection to enter new data into the
VOC_AMBI.DBF and VOC_INDO.DBF data bases.
(4)	Enter new BIBLIOGRAPHY data
Use this selection to enter new data into the
VOC_REFS.DBF data base.
(5)	Enter new CHEMICAL data
Use this selection to enter new data into the
VOC_CHEM.DBF data base.
(6)	Return to MAIN MENU
Use this selection to return to the MAIN MENU.
4.4.2	(2) Extract Data (User Data base)
The User Data base is comprised of pre-selected fields from
the VOC_AMBI, VOC_INDO, VOC_CHEM, VOC_MTHD, and VOC_SITE data
bases. The data that will be stored in these fields are
determined through a set of filters that the program sets up
according to how the user answers questions about the data he
wishes to extract.
The user will be presented with a brief explanation of the
User Data base and a choice to continue or return to the
MAIN MENU.
D-2

-------
If the user wishes to continue, then the program will ask
for a name to call the User Data base. Another drive can be
selected by placing the drive letter and a colon before the
name. Path names other than another drive are not
supported.
example - A:MYDATA
NOTE: DO NOT include the data base (.DBF) extension after
the name as the program does this automatically for you.
Once a name has been entered, the program will verify
that a duplicate name does not exist in the same directory.
If a duplicate file does exist then an option is presented
of writing over the existing file or choosing a new name.
Next the program will ask a series of questions regarding
what type of filters to set up for the User Data base. The
options include:
Whether to use the Ambient or Indoor data bases.
A particular State and City, all Cities in a State,
all States.
A particular Date range (ex. 1/15/86 to 1/15/87)
A particular Chemical or all Chemicals.
Once all questions have been answered, the filters
selected will be presented for verification. Type "Y" to
continue or "N" to start over and revise filters, data base
name, or quit.
If "Y" is selected then the number of records matching the
filters will be counted and the default drive (or the drive
selected along with the name) will be checked for enough
space to hold the resultant data base.
If there is not enough drive space, then the program will
notify you of this and abort. If this is the case, either
select another drive or a smaller range of filters. For
example, if at first a two year period was selected, then
select two one year periods instead and create two User
Data bases. Do not forget to remove the first one year
period from the drive before creating the second!
If the available drive space is large enough, then a
data base (.DBF) file will be created with a structure as
follows:

4.4.3 (3) Utility Menu
Selection "3" at the MAIN MENU presents five options:
(1)	Concentration Data base Statistics
This selection will display a screen full of useful
data including:
-	the version MS-DOS being used
-	the version dBase III+ being used
-	the total size of VOC_AMBI.DBF, V0C_IND0.DBF
-	the last time the V0C_AMBI.DBF, VOC_INDO.DBF file was
edited
-	space left on the default drive
(2)	Reindex ALL Data bases
This selection will create from scratch all of the
necessary index (.NDX) files needed for the Utility
D-4

-------
program to perform properly. Normally the index files
are updated automatically when data is changed or added
from within the Utility program. However, manual
editing or modification of data-base data done outside
the program can corrupt the index files. Remember that
because of the nature of an index file, if it becomes
corrupted, it can create much confusion and loss of data
integrity.
Note that with large data bases reindexing could take
the better part of an hour or more.
(3)	Turn Beep ON/OFF
This selection will turn off the beep when data windows
are filled and the system prompts for an enter key.
It will not turn off the beep during menu selections
(4)	Display Opening Screen
This selection will display the opening page and rerun
the file check utility that is done at the beginning of
the program. After the file check is complete the
program returns to the Utility menu.
(5)	Return to MAIN MENU
Use this selection to return to the MAIN MENU.
5.0 Problems/Solutions
1.	Problem: Missing record numbers or confusing match up of records.
Solution: Could be that the data base index (.NDX) files are not up
to date. Use the Utility Menu option to update the index files.
Note that with a large data base, reindexing could take an hour or
more to complete.
Index files are updated automatically when the Enter New Data
option is selected from the MAIN MENU. However, if manual edits
are performed on the data bases, the index files may not be updated.
2.	Problem: "Too many open files"
Solution: Check the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of the
default drive. Make sure that the following commands are present:
FILES—15
BUFFERS-20
If these commands are not present, or if there is not a CONFIG.SYS
file in the root directory, then create or edit the file to include
D-5

-------
the above two commands and reboot the system. dBase I11+ needs to
have this configuration in order to function properly.
3. Problem: "Cannot find file"
Solution: Rerun the opening page selection from the Utility Menu.
This will verify that all necessary files can be accessed.
6.0 Programming Notes
1.	A listing of all VOC Utility Program files, cross-references, and
symbol tables are contained in the file VOC_XREF.DOC.
2.	All required index files can be created from scratch by running the
program file VOC_INDX.PRG by itself or from the VOC Utility Program
by selecting "4" in the Utility Menu. Note that because of the
size of the VOC data bases, this may take the better part of an hour
to run.
3.	All index files are maintained automatically when appending data
inside of the VOC Utility Program.
4.	A list of all required files can be found in the VOC_FILE.DBF
data base.
5.	The User Data base skeleton structure is contained in the
VOC_USER.SHL data base.
6.	Skeleton structures for the remaining data bases are found in their
corresponding VOC_XXXX.SHL data bases.
7.	Many of the VOC Utility Program files are too large to edit with
the dBase III+ editor. Either use an ASCII editor outside of the
dBase III+ shell or create a CONFIG.DB file in the default directory
and include in it the following command:
TEDIT=youreditor	; where "youredi.tor" is the command
to invoke a word processor capable
of inputting and outputting ASCII
only files.
Now "youreditor" will be invoked when using the MODIFY COMMAND
filename inside of the dBase III+ shell.
WARNING: Modifying the VOC Utility Program is done at your own
risk. Nero and Associates, Inc. (NAI), EPA or authors of
this report will not be held responsible for any data loss
or damage resulting from use and modification of the VOC
Utility Program.

16 ABSTRACT
Data on the observed concentrations of three hundred twenty (320) volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) were compiled, critically evaluated, and assembled into
a relational data base. Ambient (i.e., outdoor) measurements, indoor data, and data
collected with personal monitors are included. The data are primarily from the
period 1970-1987 and for locations within the United States. In order to compare
data from many different sources, each concentration record in the data base repre-
sents the daily average for a single chemical, wherever feasible. The total data
base contains more than 175,000 concentration records.
Summaries of the data distributions are tabulated in the report. Averages,
medians and quartile values are given for each chemical measured in both the ambient
and indoor site categories. Median values are also listed for each chemical for the
eight specific site types included in the data report. The ambient site types are:
remote, rural, suburban, urban, and source dominated. The indoor category of site
types include residential indoor, workplace (non-industrial), and personal monitors.
The data have been assembled into a relational data base using dBASE III Plus,
a commercially available data base management program. The report contains a com-
plete description of the data base files and a guide describing the use of a prepared
program for searching and maintaining the data base.
