3.3 Distribution of ICQA1 values regarding air quality. 2016

Maximum Minimum Average

1 The ICQA is calculated using the following emission levels: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3) and suspended particles (PM10 and TSP). Note: The result is a value for the measuring station and day that represents different levels of quality.Source: Air Monitoring and Surveillance Service

This value is calculated according to the average eight-hour mobile, with the maximum of these averages for each day, and finally choosing the 26th highest value. It allows a maximum of 25 exceedances per year. If the 26th value exceeds 120 µg/m3 indicates that it does not complies with current regulations. Source: Air Monitoring and Surveillance Service
