1.0 Introduction

Environmental, Engineering & Measurement Services, Inc. (EEMS) was contracted by the

Nashville Metro Public Health Department to conduct audits of the district’s local ambient air

quality gaseous and PM pollutant monitoring network. The air quality monitoring network

consists of five stations in the greater Nashville, Tennessee Metro Area which are operated by the

Metro Public Health Department (MPHD). The purpose of this network is to fulfill and comply

with specific monitoring requirements for State or Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS) as

specified by the EPA in 40 CFR Part 58. The operation of the monitoring stations must meet the

requirements in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix A, which defines the quality assurance (QA)

requirements for gaseous and PM pollutant ambient air monitoring. The audits performed by

EEMS under this contract fulfilled the requirement for quarterly independent audits of all

pollutant monitors in the network. The QA requirements can be found at:

http://www.epa.gov/ttnamti1/files/ambient/pm25/qa/appd_validation_template_amtic.pdf.

The trained and certified EEMS field scientist followed the National Performance Audit Program

(NPAP) procedures while performing audits of all air quality monitors.

The NPAP is a QA program implemented by the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and

Standards (OAQPS) to conduct audits of gaseous air pollutant analyzers by standard methods

throughout each region of the U.S. The method includes introduction of National Institute of

Standards and Traceability (NIST) audit gases to the station analyzers through the ambient

sample inlet, including all filters and fittings. This method evaluates the entire sample train. The

audit gas concentrations are also measured and verified with an audit analyzer on-site which is

calibrated at the time of the audit.

EEMS performed the NPAP Through-The-Probe (TTP) gas analyzer audits following EPA’s

Quality Assurance Guidance Document – Method Compendium – Field Standard Operating

Procedures (SOP) for the Federal PM2.5 Performance Evaluation Program and NPAP TTP Audit

SOP. All procedures and guidance documents used to perform these audits can be found at the

EPA OAQPS website: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/.

This report includes the results of the NPAP TTP and PM sampler audits conducted from October

24th through October 26th, 2016. The ambient air quality monitors audited were operating at five

stations in the network:

1. Hillwood

2. Lockeland

3. Percy Priest Dam

4. East Health Center

5. Near Road

All stations are in the Nashville Metro area and in Davidson County, TN. Map images of the

sites are included in Appendix B.

2.0 Audits of PM Samplers and Gaseous Pollutant Monitors

2.1 Audit Methods and Equipment

This section describes the steps followed in the performance of these audits. EEMS followed the

document referenced above rigorously. Supplemental guidance and excerpts from the method

can be found at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/npepqa.html.

2.1.1 Certification of EEMS Standards

All standards owned and maintained by EEMS undergo annual NIST traceable certification. The

standards include EPA Protocol Gas standards, digital multi-meters, meteorological sensors and

standards, and various flow rate measurement systems including two DeltaCal devices. Copies of

the annual certifications of the EEMS standards used for these audits are included in Appendix C.

2.1.2 EPA Protocol Gas Standards and EEMS Mobile Laboratory

EEMS owns and maintains a Thermo Environmental Instruments Inc. (TEI) 48i TLE carbon

monoxide analyzer which is used to verify standard audit gas concentrations during NPAP-TTP

audits. The CO analyzer is mounted and operated in a climate controlled mobile laboratory with a

multi-gas dilution system and NIST traceable EPA Protocol Gas standards. The NIST gases

include cylinders of ultra-pure air, high concentration CO, low concentration CO, and a multi-

blend NO, CO, SO2 mixture. The mobile laboratory is equipped with its own data acquisition

system (DAS). An image of the EEMS mobile laboratory is included in Figure 1.

2.1.3 Level-2 Ozone Standard

EEMS owns and maintains a Thermo Environmental Instruments Inc. (TEI) 49C level-2 ozone

standard photometer. The standard photometer is mounted and operated in the climate controlled

mobile laboratory with a multi-gas dilution system and other standards. The serial output of the

ozone standard is monitored and recorded by the mobile laboratory DAS.

The standard photometer is transported to Research Triangle Park (RTP) North Carolina, or one

of the EPA regional laboratories for verification at least twice per year. The most recent

verification with the Standard Reference Photometer (SRP) from EPA Region 7 is included in

Appendix C.

2.2 Summary of Field Audit Activities

The MPHD air quality network operates PM samplers at two sites, Hillwood High School and

Lockeland Elementary School. On Monday October 24th, 2016, EEMS personnel met MPHD

personnel at the Hillwood site for the station’s PM2.5 sampler audits. Following the audit at

Hillwood, both EEMS and MPHD personnel traveled to the Lockeland site where the station’s

three operating PM samplers were audited.

After completing the PM sampler audits, EEMS personnel traveled to the Percy Priest Dam

station and met with additional MPHD personnel and performed the audit of the station’s ozone

monitor.

On Tuesday October 25th EEMS personnel met MPHD personnel at the East Public Health Center

and performed TTP audits of the Station’s ozone, NOx, and SO2 monitors.

On Wednesday October 26th EEMS personnel met MPHD personnel at the Near Road site and

performed TTP audits of the station’s NOx and CO monitors. While at the station a shelter

temperature sensor was installed in the serial port of the station’s DAS. The MPHD lab and

office was visited after completing the Near Road station audit to assist with configuration of the

new shelter temperature sensor.

Images of some of the sites and samplers are provided in Figures 2 through 5 below.

2.3 Specific PM Sampler and Gaseous Monitor Audit Activities

This section describes the procedures used for audits of each parameter at all sites. More detailed

NPAP-TTP audit procedures can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/npepqa.html.

2.3.1 PM Sampler Audits

The sampler dates and times were verified for all samplers and found to be within 2 minutes of

the actual time. The PM10 (first cut point) inlets were removed from the samplers and the EEMS

DeltaCal standard was installed at the inlet to the sample train. The samplers’ operational

variables (flow rate, temperature, and pressure) were compared to the variables as measured by

the standard. All variables were found within acceptance limits and audit results are included in

Section 3.

2.3.2 Gaseous Pollutant Monitor Audits

The EEMS mobile laboratory audit analyzers and systems were allowed to warm-up overnight

prior to each station audit. At sites that measure ozone, the TTP ozone audit was conducted first.

Following the ozone audit, the TTP NOx, CO, and/or SO2 audits were performed depending on

which parameters were being measured at the site. Audits of gaseous monitors other than ozone

were performed simultaneously by providing audit gas to both monitor inlets using Teflon “tee”

connectors or Teflon bag for the Near Road sample inlet. Images of the audit gas delivery system

are included in Figures 6 through 8 below.

All analyzer sample pressures and flow rates were checked prior to, and following the

introduction of audit gas to ensure that changes to the routine sampling variables did not occur as

a result of the addition of audit gas (test atmosphere) to the sampling inlet.

Audit test gas concentrations were selected from the OAQPS list of expanded audit levels

recently approved and included in the CFR part 58 revisions. Table 3 provides the approved

list of audit levels. Audit concentrations from at least three audit levels were selected for each

monitor audit. The final results of the NPAP TTP audits are included in Section 3.0.

2.3.3 Ozone Monitor Audits

Ozone audit test gas was generated with the ozone generator in the mobile laboratory’s dilution

system. The audit gas was delivered to the station analyzer through the station inlet tubing using

a Teflon “tee” to allow the audit gas to vent at the inlet. The audit gas concentration was

measured with the level-2 standard photometer in the mobile lab and recorded by the mobile lab

DAS. One minute averages were reported by the site operator from the station monitor and

compared to the averages for the same time period from the standard.

EE-MS.com/transfer/clients/MPHD 2-8 EEMS

2.3.4 Specific NO2 CO and SO2 Audit Activities

Prior to beginning the NOx, CO, and SO2 audits, the EEMS audit CO analyzer was calibrated

using the NIST ultra-pure air and CO gases. This was accomplished by supplying the EEMS

mobile laboratory CO analyzer with NIST gas directly from the cylinders and not through the

mobile lab dilution system. Data from this “Pre-audit” calibration was entered into the

OAQPS audit spreadsheet to be used to calculate the concentration of all audit gases

generated during the station audits.

The site audits were accomplished by generating audit test gas using the mobile laboratory

dilution system and the NIST multi-blend gas. The audit gas was delivered to the station

analyzers at the station sample inlet, through all filters and fittings using Teflon tubing and a

Teflon bag to allow the audit gas to vent at the inlet. The generated audit gas CO concentrations

were verified with the mobile laboratory CO analyzer. The other audit gas concentrations

were then calculated based on the ratio of CO to the other gases in the NIST multi-blend

audit gas cylinder.

Immediately following the station audits, the mobile laboratory CO analyzer was again

challenged directly with the NIST cylinder gases. The results of this “Post-audit” challenge

were entered into the OAQPS spreadsheet to correct the audit standard gas concentrations,

accounting for any drift of the mobile laboratory CO analyzer. This procedure (Pre-audit CO

calibration, multipoint station audits, and Post-audit CO challenge) is the same OAQPS

standard procedure used routinely for all NPAP TTP audits.

3.2 NPAP-TTP Ozone Audit Results

The audit results of the two ozone monitors in the network were within the acceptance limits of

±10% of any single audit point and within the warning level of ± 7%. The low level (level 2) test

points checked were within the warning limit of ± 0.001ppm. Although within acceptable limits,

the response of the ozone monitor at the East Health Center site to “ozone-free” test gas was

slightly low at -1ppb. This was likely a contributing factor to the overall low response of the

monitor to audit test gas. There were no observed problems with the accuracy of the station

monitors. The results of the O3 audits are summarized in Table 6. The field audit forms are

included in Appendix A.

3.3 NPAP-TTP Sulfur Dioxide Audit Results

The single SO2 monitor in the network is operated at the East Health Center site. The audit

results were within the acceptance limits of ±15% of any single audit point and within the

warning limit of ±10%. The low level (level 2) test point was within the warning limit of

±0.001ppm. There were no observed problems with the accuracy of the station monitors. The

result of the SO2 audit is summarized in Table 7. The field audit forms are included in Appendix

A.

3.4 NPAP-TTP Carbon Monoxide Audit Results

There is one CO monitor in the network at the Near Road site. The audit result of that monitor

was within the acceptance limits of ± 15% of any single audit point. The lowest concentration

level tested was above the warning limits of ± 10%. The monitor response to “zero air” was

slightly high at 0.080 ppm. The zero response likely contributed to the error at the low audit test

points. There were no observed problems with the accuracy of the station monitor. The results of

the CO audit are summarized in Table 8. The field audit forms are included in Appendix A.

3.5 NPAP-TTP Nitrogen Dioxide Audit Results

All of the NO2 audit results for all sites were within the acceptance limits of ± 15% of any single

audit point, and within the warning limits of ±10%. All zero concentration levels were also

found within acceptable limits. There were no observed problems with the accuracy of the station

monitors. The results of the NO2 audits are summarized in Table 9. The field audit forms are

included in Appendix A.

3.6 Recommendations

The stations in the MPHD monitoring network are in good condition and very well run. Site

operators are knowledgeable and maintain the site monitors in very good working order.

Operation of the gaseous pollutant monitors would be improved by automation of the routine

zero/precision and span functions. Routine automation of the baseline (zero drift) correction of

the trace-level carbon monoxide monitor at the Near Road site would improve the operation of

that monitor.

EEMS is working on an estimate of costs and time to complete the recommended improvements

to the monitoring network operation.
