Integrated Samples - VOC

Variables for VOC Data (samples collected using Summa Canisters: Method TO-15):

id = station1, station2, station3, station4

location = 10 meter, 100 meter, 300 meter, Upwind

SampleType = Field Blank, Field Control, Field Duplicate, Lab Duplicate, Sample

SampleDateTime = Date and Time of Sample

Buta_ppb = 1,3-Butadiene (ppb)

Benz_ppb = Benzene (ppb)

Acrolein_ppb = Acrolein (ppb)

Flag_VOC = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data (relates to the entire sample, across all pollutants)

Flag_Buta = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

Flag_Benz = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

Flag_Acrolein = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

Integrated Samples - Carbonyl

Variables for Carbonyl Data (samples collected using cartridges: Method TO-11A):

id = station1, station2, station3, station4

location = 10 meter, 100 meter, 300 meter, Upwind

SampleType = Field Blank, Field Control, Field Duplicate, Lab Duplicate, Sample

SampleDateTime = Date and Time of Sample

Acetaldehyde_ppb = Acetaldehyde (ppb)

Acrolein_ppb = Acrolein (ppb)

Formaldehyde_ppb = Formaldehyde (ppb)

Acetaldehyde_detect '<' (below method detection limit)

Acrolein_detect '<' (below method detection limit)

Formaldehyde_detect '<' (below method detection limit)

Flag_Carbonyl = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data (relates to the entire sample, across all pollutants)

Flag_Acetaldehyde = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

Flag_Acrolein = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

Flag_Formaldehyde = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

Integrated Samples - PM2.5

The following is a list of the variables in the PM2.5 data set.

id = station identification

SampleType = Sample, Field Duplicate, Field Blank,

Date = Date Sample Collected

Flag_PM = 0 or 1; 0 = valid data; 1 = invalid data

location = Upwind, 10 meter, 100 meter, 300 meter

PM2_5mg_m3 = PM2.5 in µg/m3
