  1. CALIBRATING CONCERN ABOUT PAHS IN URBAN AIR USING MONITORING AND MODELING: A PROJECT PLAN SUMMARY Funding: U.S. EPA Community Air Toxics Ambient Monitoring Grant # XA00E00976 Passive Monitors: donated by Oregon State University, Simonich Environmental Chemistry Laboratory

  2. Size Matters • Ambient Temperature Matters • Branching Matters • Substitution Matters • Cancer Potency Matters

  3. Project Team • Kristie Ellickson, Greg Pratt, Cassie McMahon, Mike Bauer, and (potentially a new planner from the air policy unit) • Carl Herbrandson • Paul Swedenborg, Mike Krause, Christina Rainaldo, Wyatt Hedine • Charlie Lippert

  4. Where to put the monitors?

  5. Where to put the passive monitors?

  6. 2010 U.S. Census Data: Income, Population Demographics

  7. Traffic Density

  8. Final Sampling Plan (Rural and Urban Locations)

  9. South Minneapolis Locations Passive sites Active sites

  10. Peace Garden Site Passive sites Active sites

  11. South Minneapolis Locations Passive sites Active sites

  12. South Minneapolis Locations Passive sites Active sites

  13. South Minneapolis Locations Passive sites Active sites

  14. Passive Air Sampling

  15. Active Air Sampling

  16. Active Air Sampling Train

  17. Calibration of Passive Samplers Sampling Rate (m3 day-1) = CPAS = mass of specific PAH on passive sampler media (ng) CAIR = concentration of specific PAH in air (ng m-3) But, we may have to adjust for calculate an effective air volume

  18. Preliminary Data – MN PCA/MDH – Ellickson et al. MDH Priority cPAHs (21) MDH Priority cPAHs (21) EU marker cPAHs (4)
