  12. How Representative are CATMN Data (every 6th day sampling) of an Annual Average? 1,3 Butadiene • AutoGC (6694 observations) = 0.62 ppbv • CATMN (59 observations) = 0.57 ppbv Benzene • AutoGC (6815 observations) = 0.67 ppbv • CATMN (59 observations) = 0.71 ppbv Comparison of Clinton Drive AutoGC and CATMN 2004 Annual Averages for Benzene and 1,3-Butadiene
