    1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

    1.1 SCOPE OF WORK

    This project covers the communications, data processing and reporting for two Air Quality Monitoring

    (AQM) Stations in the Saldanha Bay Municipality Area. Argos Scientific’s understanding of the scope of

    work is as follows:

    • Establish 3G communications from ambient air quality monitoring station loggers (PC with Linux

    Operating System) via 2G/3G modem to a centralised server.

    • Provide SIM cards for 2G/3G modems.

    • Ensure communication support stations and server.

    • Provide real-time access to raw data and validated data from SBM offices.

    • Provide real-time downloading of raw data and validated data from SBM offices.

    • Submission of monthly reports for each monitoring station, including data graphs, exceedance

    graphs, meteorology, analysis and station status.

    1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    This report evaluates data collected from the Saldanha Bay and Vredenburg Air Quality Monitoring

    Station. The Saldanha Bay station is located at 33° 0’ 3.99” S, 17° 56’ 41.68”E, to the north east of the

    town and the Vredenburg station is located at 32°54'6.20"S, 17°59'31.94"E, to the east of the town.

    APPENDIX 3: MONITORING METHODOLOGIES

    1. CONTINUOUS REAL TIME MONITORS

    Continuous real-time monitors are used to measure real-time concentrations of gases. These are usually

    one part of an AQMS and often are remote in location and need to be connected in a network as per

    Figure A below. Such a system would have the following as a minimum requirement:

    • Environmental enclosure

    • Inlet manifold

    • Analysers

    • Calibration

    • Meteorological instrumentation

    • Data acquisition

    • Data reporting

    • Communication

    • Housekeeping (log book, shelter check sheet, instruments data sheets)

    In particular the monitoring station would have the following basic components:

    • Monitoring station design

    – Housing

    – Air inlet system

    – Monitoring instrumentation

    – Calibration of monitors

    – Logging devices

    • Monitoring Methods

    This section gives an overview of the methods employed in the continuous monitoring of ambient

    compounds.

    1.1 CO/CO2

    CO and CO2 are monitored continuously by non-dispersive infrared photometry.

    The non-dispersive infrared photometry process is based upon the absorption of infrared light by

    CO or CO2.

    1.2 NOX

    Oxides of nitrogen are measured continuously by the principle of chemiluninescence.

    The air sample is split into two pathways; one to measure NO and the other to measure total NOX.

    The intensity of light is measured with a photomultiplier to obtain the concentration of NO. To obtain

    NO2 the sample gas is passed through a milly converter.

    Measurement is the sum of NO2 and NO, expressed as NOX.

    1.3 SO2/H2S

    SO2 and H2S are monitored continuously by pulsed fluorescence.

    In this method, air is drawn through a chamber where it is irradiated with pulses of ultra-violet (UV)

    light. Any SO2 in the sample is excited to a higher energy level and upon returning to its original

    state, light or fluorescence is released. The amount of fluorescence measured is proportional to the

    SO2 concentration.

    1.4 O3

    O3 is monitored continuously using ultra-violet (UV) light absorption.

    The sampled air is exposed to UV light which is absorbed by the O3. The amount of UV light

    absorbed is proportional to the amount of O3 in the sample; that is, the more UV light is absorbed,

    the greater the amount of O3 in the sample.

    1.5 PM-10 and PM-2.5

    Particulate matter is monitored continuously and intermittently. The Tapered Element Oscillating

    Microbalance (TEOM) is the most widely used and continuous PM-10 (or PM-2.5) monitor.

    The TEOM draws an air sample through an inlet system that aerodynamically separates particles

    of a specified diameter. The air sample then passes through a filter that is attached to a tapered

    element in the mass transducer. This tapered element vibrates at its natural frequency. As particles

    are deposited onto the filter, the oscillating frequency changes in proportion to the amount of mass

    deposited.

    1.6 Meteorological Parameters

    Meteorological parameters such as wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, solar

    radiation and atmospheric pressure are monitored in order to assist in identifying the sources of

    elevated concentration events or episodes.

    2. QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

    Quality control of the monitored data is important to verify that the data reported is accurate and of a low

    uncertainty. Each monitoring station or passive monitoring site should be treated as if it were a

    laboratory. A laboratory is defined as “A place equipped for testing and analysis” or “A place providing

    the opportunity for observation in a field of study”.

    It must be noted that it has been stated by DEA that only air quality data that is accredited will be

    accepted by DEA. The definition for accreditation is “the procedure by which an authoritative body gives

    formal recognition that a body is competent to carry out specific tasks”. In order to be accredited a

    sampling method must have:

    • A recognised methodology that competence can be measured against

    • A quality system

    • Have been audited by a certification body

    A relevant quality system for air quality measurements according to SANAS is ISO 17025. This system

    provides guidance to laboratories on essential elements for both:

    • Quality management

    • Technical requirements for the proper operation of a testing laboratory

    3. INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION AND FREQUENCY

    This section covers the calibration of continuous air quality monitors. The basic requirements based on

    the US EPA Red Book are:

    • Each analyser must have a dynamic calibration every three months

    • This type of calibration must also be carried out on installation, after any repair, if tolerances of

    zero/ span are not met and if the analyser is relocated

    • Zero and span calibration every two weeks

    • Zero check every other week

    4. DATA ACQUISITION REQUIREMENTS

    This section also refers to an AQMS based on continuous monitoring from a monitoring station and to

    the data logging system:

    The data logger must:

    • Be verified annually

    • Output from the analysers must be recorded

    • Generate hourly mean concentrations

    • Be able to scan at 30 second intervals with a minimum scan period of 1 hour and store this data

    • Collect at least 40 minutes of uninterrupted data per hour for a valid average

    • Use calculations verified by a statistician

    5. SITE SELECTION

    The following quote is noteworthy when considering the location of sites: “Irrespective of how well a

    monitoring station is run, if it is not sited correctly data collected will have little value”

    As was mentioned earlier sites are selected for one of the following reasons:

    • To judge compliance with air quality standards

    • To activate emergency control procedures for episodes

    • To observe pollution trends throughout a region

    • To provide a database for research.

    When selecting monitoring sites the following must be considered:

    • Economic: Resources must be available for the expensive instrumentation, data retrieval and

    evaluation, maintenance and quality assurance and reporting of data

    • Security: Problems can arise in this regard that make a site unsuitable when standard measures

    are taken into account

    • Logistics: Planning, staffing, procurement procedures, training, communications, safety, task

    scheduling

    • Atmospheric conditions:

    o Variability of air pollutants and their transport (effects of buildings, terrain and heat sources)

    o Dispersion factors – wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric stability

    • Topography: Transport and diffusion of air pollutants are complicated by topographical features

    such as valleys or hills

    • Pollutant consideration: A sampling site for one pollutant may or may not be suitable for other

    pollutants

    o For example, monitoring ozone close to primary NO emissions would not provide accurate

    pollutant information

    • The final placement once a monitoring site has been selected depends on the presence of physical

    obstructions, accessibility and availability of utilities.

    • Obstructions such as trees and buildings significantly affect the air flow over the monitoring station

    and the placement should expose the station to the general air flow of the area to prevent sampling

    bias.

    • Major roads can produce bias and sites should be 15-60m away unless there are specific

    requirements for roadway monitoring. Typically sites would be between 3m and 15m away in this

    case.

    6. DATA MANAGEMENT

    All monitoring stations produce data that may be used for various reasons as outlined above. The

    following should be noted when dealing with this monitoring data and systems should be designed to

    accommodate the following:

    • A copy of the raw data must always be available

    • A record must be kept of any adjustments made

    • All multiplication factors/ algorithms/ manipulations on the data must be recorded and reported

    • Data must be kept for a minimum of 3 years

    • When data is reported the temperature and pressure at which the analyser was last calibrated

    must be indicated on the test report

    The following points must be considered when preparing a monitoring plan:

    • Local authority responsible for monitoring

    • Check to see if Province has information about your area

    • Check to see whether DEA has information about your area (SAAQIS)

    • Do screening study to see which pollutants if any are of concern

    • SANS 1929 lets you make management decisions on whether costly continuous monitoring is

    needed

    • If so focus on quality control, reporting 80% or more of available data

    • Use data to manage improvements in air quality
