Executive summary

A. General Review Air quality data for calendar year 2017 are summarized for seven criteria pollutants: particulate

matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microns (PM10), particulate matter with

aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2),

carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and lead (Pb). Data are also summarized for total suspended

particulates (TSP). Also included is a section discussing toxics monitoring projects conducted and

trend analysis results for three criteria pollutants: SO2, CO, and O3.

B. Discussion of Violation Violations of multiple-year, annual and short-term air quality standards by county and pollutant

are provided in Section II: 2017 Air Quality Data Summary Maps. Table 1 gives a breakdown of air

quality standard violations by county. There were no violations of the PM2.5, PM10, NO2, Pb, or

CO standards in effect during 2017.

Table 1. Violation of National Ambient Air Quality Standards by County 2017

Pollutant Standard Counties

O3 8-hour (0.070 ppm) Butler, Geauga, Franklin, Hamilton, Lake, Warren

SO2 1-hour 99th percentile Cuyahoga

C. Observations and Conclusions Particulate matter having an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 microns (PM10)

There were 31 PM10 active monitoring sites including three sites operated by industry with a total

of 49 monitors to collect ambient and quality assurance data.

Particulate matter having an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 microns (PM2.5)

There were 47 active PM2.5 monitoring sites with 81 monitors to collect both ambient and quality

assurance data. Most are filter-based instruments collecting individual 24-hour average

concentration on a schedule of either every three days or every six days, and the remaining

collect hourly concentrations each day in addition to some chemical speciation monitors that

operate on an every three- or six-day schedule with filters analyzed for chemical composition of

PM2.5 matter.

In 2017, no sites were in violation of the annual PM2.5 NAAQS. There have been no violations of

the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in Ohio since 2009.

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

There were 35 SO2 continuous sites collecting hourly data, five of which were operated by private

industry. There were exceedances of the 1-hour standard in Cuyahoga and Lake counties in 2017.

There were violations of the three-year, 1-hour SO2 standard in Cuyahoga county.

Page 9: Ohio Air Quality 2017state of ohio air quality calendar year 2017 prepared by division of air pollution control ohio environmental protection agency

Page | 2

There were no exceedances of the 3-hour standard statewide in 2017; the last occurrence of an

exceedance in Ohio of the 3-hour standard was in 1991. In the last ten years, SO2 concentrations

have been reduced 80% statewide.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

There were 14 CO continuous sites collecting hourly data. There were no violations of the CO

NAAQS in Ohio. Concentrations remain very low throughout all the urban areas of the state. The

last violation of the CO NAAQS occurred in 1990 in Steubenville.

Ozone (O3)

There were 51 continuous sites collecting hourly O3 data, three of which were operated by U.S.

EPA as part of their CASTNET monitoring network. Ohio attained the former O3NAAQS standard

of 75 parts per billion (ppb) throughout the state within timeframes specified by the Clean Air

Act; however, in October 2015, U.S. EPA issued a more stringent O3NAAQS of 70 parts per billion.

Ohio EPA provided recommendations to U.S. EPA on areas of the state exceeding or contributing

to exceedances of the new standard and proposed non-attainment designations under the Clean

Air Act. U.S. EPA designated areas non-attainment in accordance with Ohio EPA's

recommendations, effective August 3, 2018, in the following Metropolitan Statistical Areas:

Cleveland (Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Medina, Summit and Portage counties); Columbus

(Franklin, Delaware, Licking and Fairfield counties) and Cincinnati (Hamilton, Butler, Warren and

Clermont counties).

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

There were seven continuous NO2 monitoring sites collecting hourly data. There were no

violations of the NAAQS for NO2 in 2017, and there have been none in Ohio since 1997.

Air Pollution Alerts

No air pollution alerts were declared in 2017.

D. Monitoring Network There were 136 monitoring sites reporting data from 44 counties; a list of active monitors in 2017

can be found in Table 39 on page 77 of this report. Each year, Ohio EPA is required to submit an

annual Air Monitoring Network Plan to U.S. EPA which describes the state’s ambient monitoring

network in detail. The most recent Ohio Air Monitoring Network Plan is available for viewing on

our agency website at

http://epa.ohio.gov/dapc/ams/amsmain.aspx#126983982-air-monitoring-plan

State maps depicting each of Ohio’s air monitoring networks for U.S. EPA criteria pollutants and

air toxics are presented in Appendix E of Ohio’s Air Monitoring Network Plan.

I. INTRODUCTION

A. General A variety of substances are generated and released into the atmosphere by a multitude of man-

made and natural sources. Those substances that may affect public health and welfare are

regarded as "air pollutants." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to safeguard public health and welfare from

these air pollutants. Ambient air is defined as air that is accessible to the general public. The air

within fenced-in, guarded or limited access areas of facility property is not considered ambient

air.

Pollutants for which NAAQS have been promulgated are sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide

(NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), lead (Pb), particulate matter having an aerodynamic

diameter ≤10 microns (PM10) and particulate matter having an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5

microns (PM2.5). The standards are concentrations expressed in micrograms per cubic meter

(µg/m3), parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) per sampling averaging times. NAAQS

concentrations, averaging times and restrictions in effect as of 2017 are provided in Table 2.

In some cases, standards are separated into two parts: primary and secondary. A primary

standard sets the level of air pollution where human health is protected. A secondary standard

sets the level where the welfare of citizens is protected due to air pollution damage to crops,

animals, vegetation and materials.

This report presents summaries of Ohio EPA’s measurements of the NAAQS criteria and toxic air

pollutants during calendar year 2017. Also presented are selected statistics and trend analyses

for parts of Ohio. Prior to pollutant data tables found in Section IV, there is a brief description of

pollutants, sources from which they originate, potential adverse health effects and monitoring

methods used.

B. Development of the Ohio Air Monitoring System Society's concern about air pollution began with Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1955. This Act and its

subsequent amendments first encouraged, then authorized, grants to help finance the

establishment of state and local air pollution control programs. In 1963, Ohio established the

Ohio Air Sampling Network (OASN) with 21 monitoring sites, measuring total suspended

particulates (TSP) throughout the state. The CAA Amendments of 1970 mandated the

promulgation of NAAQS. The U.S. EPA was formed in 1970 and began developing air monitoring

regulations requiring states to establish a network of monitors to measure air quality in all major

urban areas.

The air monitoring program began under the Ohio

Department of Health and started with Particulate

Matter, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon

Monoxide, and Photochemical Oxidants. In October

of 1972, Ohio EPA was formed and was responsible

for CAA compliance. In 1978, U.S. EPA promulgated

the NAAQS for lead. In 1979, the NAAQS for ozone

replaced photochemical oxidants. Throughout that

time, Ohio's air quality network significantly

expanded.

Ohio currently has four District Offices and eight local air agencies supporting the Ohio’s air

program. See Figure 1 on page 5 for geographic coverage and contact information1.

The goals of the ambient monitoring program are to determine compliance with the ambient air

quality standards; to provide real-time monitoring of air pollution episodes; to provide data for

trend analyses, regulation evaluation and planning; and to provide daily information to the public

concerning air quality in high population areas, near major emission sources and in rural areas.

1 Effective October 1, 2018, Mahoning-Trumbull APC Agency (M-TAPCA) is no longer active, and all sites in this jurisdiction are transferred to Northeast District Office (NEDO). Figure 1 reflects jurisdictions for 2017, where M-TAPCA contact information notes this change.

In 1980, U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA established and designated certain portions of Ohio's ambient air

monitoring network to be a part of the National Air Monitoring Station (NAMS) network, created

for tracking national trends. This required that all sites produce data of adequate quality and

quantity to meet monitoring objectives and statistical analysis.

The first PM10 standard became effective July 1987, and the first PM2.5 standard was effective in

1997. Filter-based PM2.5 monitors began collecting data in 1999. Monitors to determine chemical

makeup of the particulate matter were added in 2000. In 2001, monitors that could continuously

measure PM2.5 became a programmatic requirement.

The 1-hour ozone standard was supplanted with an 8-hour standard in 1997. The 8-hour standard

is a three-year average of the 4th highest daily 8-hour averages, which was set at 0.08 ppm not to

be exceeded. In 2001, the United States Supreme Court found U.S. EPA’s proposed

implementation plan for ozone unlawful and further held that, in the setting of a standard for

ozone pursuant to Section 109 of the CAA, U.S. EPA must set air quality standards at levels that

are “requisite,” i.e., no higher or lower than necessary to protect public health with an adequate

margin of safety. The Supreme Court sent the case back to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to

review U.S. EPA’s subsequent actions. In March 2002, the court upheld U.S. EPA’s revision of the

ozone NAAQS. In October 2015, the 8-hour ozone standard was set to 0.070 ppm as the three-

year average of each site’s annual fourth high 8-hour average.

In 2009, the standard for Pb was revised to 0.15 µg/m3 as a three-month rolling average, replacing

the 1.5 µg/m3 calendar quarter average. New monitors near known or presumed sources were

required to be operational on the first sampling day of January 2010.

On January 1, 2011, U.S. EPA made changes to the designations of sites. The NAMS designation,

used for national trends in concentrations was eliminated in favor of National Core Monitoring

Network (NCore) sites, a much smaller network of sites with many more parameters per site

monitored. There are three NCore sites in Ohio, which are located in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and

Preble County.

Details on Ohio's ambient air monitoring network are provided annually in the Annual Monitoring

Network Plan (AMNP). The AMNP is a CAA requirement, annually addressing the state's network

as it existed on July 31 of the reporting year and as it was expected or anticipated to be modified

in year ahead. Appendix A of the AMNP is the Complete Network Plan Description, listing each

monitoring site within the Local Air Agencies and District Offices in Ohio. The AMNP is available

at http://epa.ohio.gov/dapc/ams/amsmain#126983982-air-monitoring-plan.

C. Remote Ambient Data System Beginning in 1986, the Remote Ambient-Air Data System (RADS) provided for the automatic

acquisition of data from Ohio EPA’s remote monitors to a central computer. Data is retrieved

from each district office and local air agency’s continuous monitoring sites on an hourly basis.

Page 14: Ohio Air Quality 2017state of ohio air quality calendar year 2017 prepared by division of air pollution control ohio environmental protection agency

Page | 7

RADS has since been upgraded for improved remote access to data by digital cellular wireless

technology. Beginning in 2015, RADS began using Agilaire’s AirVision software to poll, process

and assemble all hourly data collected in Ohio.

D. Data Availability on the Internet Air monitoring data is available on Ohio EPA’s AirOhio website at

http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/airohio/index.aspx.

Ohio EPA also provides ozone and PM2.5 data updates hourly to U.S. EPA’s AirNow website.

Current data and data forecasts are displayed in the form of tables and maps and can be viewed

at http://www.airnow.gov.

Historical ambient air quality data can also be found at https://www.epa.gov/outdoor-air-

quality-data. This site is a gateway to maps, reports and user-selected data residing in U.S. EPA’s

Air Quality System (AQS) database.

III. AIR QUALITY TRENDS

Monitoring sites designated as State & Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS) meet rigid

prescribed federal requirements. Trend analyses in this section are drawn from data originating

in the SLAMS network.

A. SO2 trends Data for SO2 continuous instruments in urban areas meeting SLAMS siting requirements were

used to generate Ohio SO2 trend studies for years 2008 through 2017, which are plotted in the

figures below. Figure 14 is based on annual averages. Figure 15 plots the 99th percentile value,

which is the short term 1-hour NAAQS for SO2. In the last ten years, 99th percentile SO2

concentrations statewide have improved an average of 80%.

B. Ozone trends Assessing progress towards attainment of the ozone NAAQS is complicated because of the

influence of meteorology on ozone levels. Differences in weather conditions can cause variations

from year to year in both NAAQS exceedances and second highest 1-hour ozone levels.

High temperatures, brilliant sunshine, and stagnant air contribute to increased evaporation from

fuel storage tanks, fuel systems, and auto refueling activities. These emissions, with nitrogen

oxides and hydrocarbons from vehicles, are a major contributor to low-level ozone pollution

during these atmospheric conditions. In the presence of sunlight, hydrocarbons and nitrogen

oxides create ground-level ozone.

One Hour Ozone Data:

Trend information is presented from eight metropolitan areas in Ohio for the period of 2008

through 2017. Figure 16 and Figure 17 on the following page shows second highest 1-hour

averages for each year. In an area where ozone is monitored at several sites, the site with the

highest second high for each year was used, which may be a different site from year to year.

Eight Hour Ozone Standard:

Eight metropolitan areas are presented with the 4th highest 8-hour daily ozone averages for the

years 2008 through 2017 in Figure 18 and Figure 19 on page 23. Figure 20 and Figure 21 on page

24 present the three-year average of the 4th highest 8-hour daily ozone averages for years 2008

through 2017 for the same areas. The year listed is the last year of the three-year period. The

NAAQS is a three-year average of the 4th highest 8-hour averages; the concentration must be less

than or equal to 0.070 parts per million (70 parts per billion) for compliance with the standard.

The monitor with the highest 4th high in each three-year period was used, not necessarily the

same monitor for all years. The three- year averages for each site in Ohio are listed in the ozone

portion of Section IV(G) on page 46.

cities are presented in Figure 22 through Figure 27 on pages 25-26. One central-city monitor in

each urban area was selected to yield data for a trend study of 8-hour average CO concentrations.

Data for years 2008-2017 are used in the figures. The last violation of the CO NAAQS occurred in

1990 in Steubenville.

IV. 2017 AIR QUALITY DATA

A. Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) Total suspended particulate matter is defined as any liquid (aerosol) or solid substance found in

the atmosphere. Particles larger than approximately 100 microns in diameter settle rapidly due

to gravity and are not considered suspended particulates. Fly ash, process dusts, soot and oil

aerosols are all common forms of suspended particulate matter. The major sources of particulate

pollution are industrial processes, electric power generation, industrial fuel combustion, and dust

from roadways and construction sites. Particulate pollution causes a wide range of damage to

materials, as well as limiting visibility and reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the earth.

Components of particulates may be harmful, such as sulfates, nitrates and metals. The major

adverse health effects on humans are related to damage to the respiratory system through

interference with the lungs’ natural cleansing processes.

Such adverse health effects are dependent, in a general sense, upon two factors: the

concentration, size and chemical composition of the particles of which the TSP consists; and the

composition of any pollutant gases in combination with it. Particles greater than ten microns in

diameter can rarely penetrate below the larynx and, therefore, are less likely to damage the

respiratory system. Particles less than six microns in diameter can penetrate the bronchial

passage while those of less than one micron in diameter can usually penetrate and be deposited

in the capillaries and alveoli of the lungs.

Page | 28

In 1987, TSP sampling was gradually replaced by ten-micron particulate sampling (PM10). The

number of monitors decreased from over 200 in 1987 to seven monitors in 2017. All TSP data is

used for lead and other metals monitoring. U.S. EPA later added a NAAQS for 2.5-micron

particulate matter (PM2.5). Data collection for PM2.5 began in 1999. The PM2.5 monitors

supplement and partially replace the PM10 network.

Table 3 below summarizes key data statistics in 2017 for the five TSP sites in Ohio.

Sampling Method

TSP is measured by the high-volume air sampler method. This instrument draws measured

volumes of air through a glass fiber filter for 24 hours. Particulate matter trapped on the filter is

weighed to determine the mass of the particulates collected per volume of air. Results are

reported as micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air (µg/m3). Normal sampling is

done intermittently once every six days.

B. Particulate Matter ≤10µm (PM10) In 1987, U.S. EPA promulgated a primary standard for particulate matter that included only those

particles with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than or equal to 10 micrometers (PM10,

particulate matter ≤10 micrometers). From 1987 until 1997, the annual standard was 50 µg/m3

annual arithmetic mean (averaged over three years' data). The 24-hour standard was 150 µg/m3

and was not to be exceeded more than once per year, averaged over three years.

The original annual standard was retained until changes to the particulate NAAQS became

effective in 2006. At that time, the 24-hour PM10 standard of 150 µg/m3 was retained, but the

annual PM10 standard of 50 µg/m3 was revoked.

The Ohio Air Monitoring Network was expanded to include 21 PM10 sites in 1986, 45 in 1988, and

a high of 91 sites in 1997. Since 1997, the PM10 network has been substantially reduced, as

monitoring of particulates has been focused to sampling of PM2.5 fine particulates. Table 4 on the

following pages summarizes key data statistics in 2017 for the 31 PM10 sites in Ohio.

Dayton Moraine PM10 Site

Sampling Method

PM10 is measured by the filtered air sampler method for non-continuous instruments. These

instruments are refined beyond the traditional TSP sampler to limit the size of particle collected

on the filter. Measured volumes of air are similarly drawn through a quartz fiber filter for 24

hours. PM10 matter trapped on the filter is weighed to determine the mass collected per volume

of air. Results are reported as micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air (µg/m3).

Continuous instruments collect real-time PM10 concentrations by various other measurement

techniques.

C. Particulate Matter ≤2.5µm (PM2.5) In 1997, the U.S. EPA promulgated revisions to the NAAQS for particulate matter. The primary

standard includes only those particles with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than or equal to 2.5

micrometers (PM2.5, particulate matter ≤2.5 micrometers).

The annual standard was 15.0 µg/m3 annual arithmetic mean, averaged over three consecutive

years. The annual NAAQS was changed from 15.0 µg/m3 to 12.0 µg/m3, effective January 2013.

The 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS was changed from 65 µg/m3 to 35 µg/m3 effective in December 2006.

The 24-hour standard is met when the 98th percentile concentration, averaged over three

consecutive years, is less than or equal to 35 µg/m3.

Because of U.S. EPA’s final action to set the fine particulate PM2.5 standards to supplement the

PM10, the Ohio Air Monitoring Network had a peak of 52 sites in 2008. In 2017, there were 47

PM2.5 sites with 79 total monitors. Most are filter-based Federal Reference Method (FRM)

instruments collecting 24-hour average concentrations either every three days or every six days.

Additionally, several are chemical speciation monitors operating on an every three- or six-day

schedule with filters analyzed for chemical composition of PM2.5 matter, and some monitors

collect hourly concentrations 24 hours per day.

The FRM monitors and a limited number of

continuous monitors are used to determine

compliance with the NAAQS. Speciation

monitors are used to determine the

composition of the particulates. The

continuous monitors are primarily used for

the Air Quality Index and for real time

reporting of particulate data to the public.

Table 5 through Table 8 on the following

pages summarize key data statistics in 2017

for the 47 PM2.5 sites in Ohio.

Sampling Method

PM2.5 is measured by the filtered air sampler method for non-continuous instruments. These

instruments are refined beyond the PM10 sampler to further limit the size of particle collected on

the filter. Measured volumes of air are similarly drawn through a filter for 24 hours. PM2.5 matter

trapped on the filter is weighed to determine the mass collected per volume of air. Results are

reported as micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air (µg/m3). Continuous

instruments collect real-time PM2.5 concentrations by various other measurement techniques.

D. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas formed through the combination of sulfur and oxygen during

combustion. The major sources of SO2 are the burning of sulfur-containing fossil fuels (mainly

coal), with lesser amounts caused by industrial processes such as smelting. The control of SO2

emissions can be accomplished by burning coal or oil with a relatively low sulfur content. Newer

boilers may be equipped with flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems that use a caustic solution

to scrub SO2 from the exhaust gas stream.

In 2010, U.S. EPA revised the NAAQS for

SO2 by establishing a 1-hour standard at a

level of 75 ppb based on the 3-year

average of the annual 99th percentile of 1-

hour daily maximum concentrations. In

the same action, the primary annual and

24-hour standards in effect were revoked.

The 3-hour 500 ppb secondary standard

was retained.

Sampling Method

Sulfur dioxide is measured continuously by instruments using ultraviolet fluorescent techniques.

The analyzers irradiate and air sample with ultraviolet light. Sulfur dioxide gas molecules absorb

a portion of this energy, and then re-emit the energy at a characteristic wavelength of light. This

light energy emitted by SO2 molecules is sensed by a photomultiplier tube and converted to an

electronic signal proportional to the concentration of SO2 present. All concentrations for SO2 are

reported in ppb.

Table 9 on the following pages summarizes key data statistics in 2017 for the 34 SO2 sites in Ohio

for the primary 1-hour standard.

E. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Nitrogen dioxide is formed in high temperature combustion processes, when nitrogen in the air

is oxidized to nitric oxide (NO) or nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The major sources of NO2 are high

temperature fuel combustion, motor vehicles, and certain chemical processes. NO2 is also a

significant pollutant because the combination of NO2 and ground level hydrocarbon compounds

causes the production of photochemical oxidants, primarily ozone (O3).

In 2010, U.S. EPA revised the NAAQS for NO2 by adding a 1-hour standard which is the three-year

average of the annual 98th percentile values. The standard is 100 ppb, which is not to be

exceeded. The annual NAAQS of 53 ppb was retained.

Sampling Method

Continuous monitoring of NO2 is based on a chemiluminescent reaction between NO and O3.

When these two gases react, ultraviolet light at a specific wavelength is produced. In the monitor,

ambient air is drawn along two paths. In the first path, the air is reacted directly with ozone, and

the light energy produced is proportional to the amount of nitric oxide in the air. In the second

path, the air is reacted with ozone after it passes through a catalytic reduction surface. The

reduction surface converts NO2 to NO and the light energy produced is a measure of the total

oxides of nitrogen in the air sample. The electronic difference of these two signals yields the

concentration of NO2. All concentrations for NO2 are reported in ppb.

Table 10 on the following page summarizes key data statistics in 2017 for the seven NO2 sites in

Ohio.

F. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas and the most abundant and widely distributed

NAAQS pollutant found in the lower atmosphere. It is produced by the incomplete combustion

of carbon containing fuels, primarily in the internal combustion engine.

The NAAQS for CO are a 1-hour limit of 35 ppm, which is not to be exceeded more than once per

year. The 9 ppm, 8-hour limit is not to be exceeded more than once per year.

Sampling Method

Carbon monoxide is monitored continuously by

analyzers that operate on the infrared absorption

principle. Air is drawn into a sample chamber and a

beam of infrared light is passed through it. CO absorbs

infrared radiation, and any decrease in the intensity of

the beam is due to the presence of CO molecules. This

decrease is directly related to the concentration of CO

in the air. A special detector measures the difference

in the radiation between this beam and a duplicate

beam passing through a reference chamber with no

CO present. This difference in intensity is electronically

translated into a reading of the CO, measured in parts

per million (ppm).

Table 11 on the following page summarizes key data statistics in 2017 for the 14 CO sites in Ohio.

G. Ozone (O3) Ozone differs from other pollutants in that it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere from

sources. Rather, it is created photochemically in the lower atmosphere by the reaction of volatile

organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the presence of sunlight. For this reason, it is

referred to as a secondary pollutant. Ozone is the predominant oxidant component of

photochemical smog.

In urban areas, nitrogen oxides are emitted primarily from combustion sources such as the

internal combustion engine, electric power generation units, and gas and oil-fired boilers. Volatile

organic compounds, important in sustaining the reactions, are emitted in the exhausts of

gasoline, diesel and jet engines, through the evaporation of gasoline and solvents such as dry-

cleaning fluids, from industrial and non-industrial surface coating operations such as paint

booths, from open burning, and other combustion sources.

The ozone NAAQS has been revised frequently. Prior to 1997, the 1-hour standard was 0.12 ppm,

with a violation occurring at more than three exceedances. In 1997, the standard was supplanted

with an 8-hour average of 0.08 ppm where a violation occurred when the annual 4th highest daily

maximum 8-hour concentration averaged over three years exceeded the standard. In 2006, the

1-hour standard was revoked. Then, in 2008, the 8-hour standard was lowered to 0.075 ppm (75

ppb). In 2015, the standard was revised to 0.070 ppm, where a violation occurs when the annual

4th highest daily maximum 8-hour average concentration averaged over three years exceeds the

standard.

Sampling Method

Ozone is monitored continuously during the

ozone season. Beginning in 2017, the ozone

season begins March 1 and extends through

October 31.

An ozone analyzer operates using ultraviolet

absorption. The air sample is drawn into the

analyzer and irradiated with an ultraviolet light of

253.7 nanometers wavelength. The amount of

light absorbed is related to the amount of ozone

present.

Table 12 through Table 16 on the following pages summarize key data statistics in 2017 for the

51 O3 sites in Ohio. All concentrations for ozone are reported in parts per million (ppm).

H. Lead (Pb) Airborne lead (Pb) was historically caused by vehicles using leaded fuels. Now the primary

sources of airborne lead include lead smelting facilities, lead-acid storage battery manufacturing

plants and other manufacturing operations.

In the period from 1978 to 1991, lead

concentrations at traffic-oriented sites dropped by

over 90%, reflecting the removal of lead from

gasoline. In 1999, the U.S. EPA eliminated the

requirement for traffic-oriented sites and shifted

focus to monitoring at industrial sources. Ohio EPA

discontinued monitoring at traffic-oriented sites in

1999.

In November of 2008, U.S. EPA changed the NAAQS for lead from 1.5 µg/m3 as a calendar quarter

average to a lower standard of 0.15 µg/m3 as a rolling three-month average. This revised standard

is designed to provide increased protection to the public, particularly children. The newest lead

standard requires monitoring at lead sources that report emissions of greater than 0.5 tons per

year. Lead monitoring is required at NCore sites in Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) of

500,000 or more persons. There are three sites in Ohio that meet these criteria: Cincinnati,

Cleveland and Dayton.

Sampling Method

Lead concentrations in ambient air are determined by the U.S EPA reference method. Lead

samples are collected as total suspended particulate matter (TSP) on glass fiber filters according

to 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Reference method for the Determination of Suspended Particulate

Matter in the Atmosphere. These filters are then analyzed by the manual Equivalent method:

EQL-0710-192, “Heated Nitric Acid Hot Block Digestion and ICP/MS analysis for Lead (Pb) on TSP

High-volume filters”. In this method, one ¾”x 8” portion or strip, of the TSP filter is dissolved in a

solution of nitric acid, heated on a hot block, on which the solution is reduced to final volume for

analysis. The extracted solution is then analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass

spectrometry, (ICP/MS) to determine the amount of lead collected on the original filter. Sites that

are being used to meet monitoring network requirements have individual sampling events (days)

analyzed.

Concentrations are reported in micrograms per cubic meter of air (µg/m3). Table 17 on the

following page summarizes key data statistics in 2017 for the 13 Lead sites in Ohio.

V. AIR TOXICS MONITORING 2016

A. Introduction Ohio EPA operates a network of air toxics monitors as part of a state-wide Air Toxics Monitoring

Program (ATMP). This sampling network is modeled after programs and methods recommended

by U.S. EPA. The emphasis has been on urban toxics monitoring for volatile organic compounds

and heavy metals. Following this introduction, there are brief sections describing sampling and

analytical procedures for the pollutants monitored.

The principle focus of the ATMP is urban monitoring – looking for risks in areas where people

live. In support of this effort, air toxics monitoring has concentrated on the following groups of

compounds:

• volatile organic compounds (VOC) o examples: benzene, chloroform, styrene, toluene

• heavy metals o examples: beryllium, manganese

Intermittent air sampling has been conducted at semi-permanent monitoring sites (where

monitoring extends beyond a six-month period) for VOCs and heavy metals.

Page | 56

Past sampling efforts have included:

• Cross Media pollution monitoring • Urban air toxics • Great Lakes deposition monitoring • Source monitoring • Post-remediation Monitoring • Complaint investigation • Emergency Episode Monitoring • Emissions verification

During 2017, DAPC was involved in several minor monitoring projects throughout the state. The

sampling and analytical methods for VOCs and heavy metals are described below.

B. Volatile Organic Compound Sampling and Analysis Sampling Method

A major component of the Air Toxics Monitoring Program is ambient sampling for volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) which are compounds that are generally found in the vapor state. Most VOC

samples were collected using a whole air sampling system that pumps ambient air into a

stainless-steel canister, which allows an air sample to be maintained virtually unchanged until it

is analyzed. Samples can also be collected using only the vacuum of the canister to draw in an air

sample. These vacuum-filled “grab” samples usually take only a few minutes to collect and are

useful for collecting transient odors or potentially high concentration samples. Ohio EPA is now

capable of collecting specific samples for 1-, 3-, 8-, and 24-hours using this grab sampling method.

Samples at the semi-permanent sampling sites are collected consistent with the national air

toxics monitoring schedule of once every 12th day or every 6th day over a 24-hour sampling

period. Specific procedures for this type of sampling can be found in U.S. EPA’s Compendium of

Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compound in Ambient Air in the section TO-15.

Analysis

The volatile tendency of VOCs allows them to be vaporized when heated, if not already in a

gaseous state, and injected into an analytical device called a gas chromatograph (GC). As a sample

passes through a GC column, various compounds separate out of the sample mixture. As the

individual compounds exit the column, a detector records a response. That response is illustrated

on a chromatogram as a peak, the area of which indicates the concentration of the compound.

Compound identification is accomplished by comparing peak retention times with those from a

chromatogram of a known mixture of compounds. Retention time is the time it takes for a

particular compound to reach the detector. As long as analytical conditions remain the same, a

compound from one analysis to the next will have the same retention time. The GC is combined

with a special detector called a mass spectrometer (MS). The combination, GC/MS, analyzes a

sample by separating it into its individual components which form a fingerprint by which a

compound can be identified.

Most canister samples collected by DAPC were analyzed by the Ohio EPA Division of

Environmental Services (DES). Canister samples from counties under jurisdiction of Southwest

Ohio Air Quality Agency were analyzed by a third-party lab. Laboratory analytical methods for

VOC detection must follow procedures outlined in 40 CFR Part 136 for determining the analytical

equipment's Method Detection Limit (MDL) for each compound.

A separate Reporting Limit (RL) is based on the equipment's practical quantitation limits. Any

amount below the MDL is considered noise and is reported as a non-detection (ND). Any amount

equal to or greater than the MDL and less than the RL is reported, but the value is flagged and

considered positive detection of the compound with an estimated concentration. Concentrations

equal to or above the RL are reported without caveat, unless otherwise qualified. Most VOC

target compounds' RL is 0.1 ppbv.

Table 18 on the following page lists target compounds for VOC analysis. Table 19 summarizes

state-wide results for 24-hour samples of each target compound. Non-detections or zero values

are not included in the calculated averages reported in the tables below, i.e., the reported

average is the mean of all detected values equal to or above the MDL. Table 20 on page 61 has

information about VOC sites operating in 2017, and Table 21 provides a summary of all VOC

parameters for each site.

C. Heavy Metals Sampling and Analysis Sampling Method

Ambient air toxic monitoring by Ohio EPA DAPC for heavy metals other than lead was initiated in

1989. Since that time, all of DAPC’s air filter samples have been analyzed by the Ohio EPA Division

of Environmental Services (DES). A summary of results can be found in tables on the following

pages. Sampling for heavy metals is conducted using a high volume total suspended particulate

(TSP) sampler with a glass fiber filter. Sampling is conducted by 24-hour samples collected once

every six days. The operating procedures for lead can be found in the Code of Federal

Regulations, 40 CFR, Part 50, Appendix G. These basic procedures are also used for other metals.

Analysis

For this report, filters collected at each site were analyzed as a monthly composite. Typically,

there are 5 sampling days in which a filter is collected. One strip is cut from the individual filter

and combined with strips from all the filters collected that month and analyzed as one sample

for the month. These composite samples are acid extracted with the resulting solution analyzed

by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) similar to the method used for the

determination of Lead from TSP filters. The method measures element-emitted light by optical

spectrometry.

D. Heavy Metals Parameters Lead was the first NAAQS criteria pollutant for a metal in ambient air. Over the years, DAPC added

other metals to the analysis program. As lead was phased out of gasoline, other metals have risen

to greater concern. With establishment of a new NAAQS for lead, 0.15 µg/m³, from the previous

standard of 1.5 µg/m³ and the requirement to monitor near specific sources, lead has been re-

established as a pollutant of concern. Since 2010, DAPC has had all TSP sampler filters collected

analyzed for lead.

For this section, data presented is from the monthly composite samples collected and analyzed

for eight metals:

• Arsenic • Cadmium • Chromium • Beryllium • Lead2 • Nickel • Zinc • Manganese

2Lead is the only parameter being monitored in the ATMP that has a National Ambient Air Quality Standard. See Section IV, page 54.

Page 75: Ohio Air Quality 2017state of ohio air quality calendar year 2017 prepared by division of air pollution control ohio environmental protection agency

Page | 68

From each sample, most parameters are analyzed using a very sensitive ICP/MS analytical system.

The following parameters, typically detected in higher concentrations, are still analyzed with the

ICP method only:

• Iron • Potassium • Zinc • Manganese

Particulate mercury that can be detected from a glass or quartz fiber filter has been added to the

parameter list for few samples from sites in communities with specific concerns about potential

mercury sources. Mercury analysis for each sample is performed separately from the other

metals. Total mercury is determined using a cold vapor method developed by DES.

Table 22 below identifies monitoring sites' locations and references the respective tables that

follow summarizing each site’s results.

VI. AIR QUALITY INDEX (AQI)

There has been a daily reporting of ambient air quality in Ohio's major metropolitan areas in some

form since 1971. A national Pollution Standards Index (PSI) was established in 1977 to report air

quality. This index was adopted by Ohio EPA's District Offices and the local air agencies (LAAs) to

inform the public of daily air quality.

The AQI is a uniform "scaling" of five pollutants: particulate (PM10 and PM2.5), SO2, O3, NO2, and CO.

The concentration level of each of these is calculated every day to determine the AQI. The pollutant with the highest AQI is reported to the media. A summary of AQI index values per pollutant is found in

Page 82: Ohio Air Quality 2017state of ohio air quality calendar year 2017 prepared by division of air pollution control ohio environmental protection agency

Page | 75

Table 38 below.

When the AQI exceeds, or is expected to exceed, 100 in a major city, the agency concerned issues a

"health advisory". When pollution levels exceed an AQI of 200 and are projected to persist, an "air

pollution episode" exists and the Governor declares an "alert." This initiates mandatory cutbacks of

emissions from specified facilities to alleviate the situation. If the AQI were to surpass 300, 400 or

500, progressively greater cutbacks would be implemented to reduce pollutants to an acceptable

level.

The AQI trend shows that Ohio's air quality has improved significantly. Although alerts were

commonplace in the early 1970's, none have happened in over twenty years, and the number of

health advisories has been greatly reduced.

The maximum of the 8-hour or 1-hour is used. 2 8-hour ozone values do not define AQI values >301. AQI values of 301 or higher then become calculated with 1-hour ozone concentrations.

VII. 2017 MONITORING SITES

Ohio's Regional Transport NCore Site

The following pages provide details on the 2017 monitoring network, including sites where VOC air toxics air monitoring is conducted. Parameters monitored at these sites are labeled as follows: • Pb Lead • PM10 Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 10 µm (PM10) • PM25 Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 µm (PM2.5) • PM25c PM2.5 Continuous • PMsp PM2.5 Speciation • PMc Coarse particulate matter, i.e., PM10 - PM2.5 = PMcoarse • TSP Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) • O3 Ozone • SO Sulfur Dioxide • CO Carbon Monoxide • NO2 Nitrogen Dioxide • VOC Volatile Organic Compounds • Met Meteorological data3

The first column of the table provides AQS codes, which have the following format: • XX state code (the state code for Ohio is 39) • XXX county code (odd numbers, alphabetical) • XXXX site code

3 Many sites have meteorological components, e.g., wind speed and direction and ambient temperature, that accompany monitoring for

pollutants of concern. The table below only lists "Met" for sites that have only meteorological equipment and no other screening devices.
