Why is smoke a concern?

Air pollutants

Key air quality components of smoke

Particulate matter

(PM2.5)

Air toxics (benzene,

PAH)

PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) overview

24-hour PM2.5 standard: 35 ug/m3

– Annual PM2.5 standard: 12 ug/m3

How compliance with standard is calculated

– 24-hour standard is based on 3-year average

Limitations of NAAQS

Monitoring & Bscat

DEQ has a network of PM2.5 monitors

– Federal reference monitors – used to determine compliance

Captures particulates on a filter, must be analyzed by a

Lab

Measurements are provided in ug/m3

– Nephelometers – can provide real- time hourly data

Measurements are provided in Bscat

(beta scattering)
