 Ambient Air Monitoring 
Ambient air monitoring in Georgia provides information on measured concentrations of criteria and non-criteria pollutants at selected locations. Criteria pollutants are those which a standard has been adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Non-criteria pollutants, while having no standard, provide useful information on the quality and content of ambient air. The monitoring network contains 54 monitors for criteria and 44 monitors for noncriteria pollutants. 
The current Georgia Air Sampling Network ( G.A.S.N.), is comprised of 92 monitors at 70 locations in 29 counties. Monitoring takes place year round with the exception of ozone, which is sampled from April through September. 
The monitoring network is composed of State and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS), National Air Monitoring Stations (NAMS), Special Purpose Monitoring (SPM), and Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS). During 1996 the network contained 15 NAMS, 23 SLAMS, 60 SPM stations and 4 PAMS stations. 
The number and location of the individual sites vary from year to year, depending on a variety of reasons that include: availability of long term space allocation; citizen complaint; regulatory need; etc. Once the site is established, it is our purpose to monitor for long term trends. 
In general, the basic monitoring objectives that govern the selection of sites are: I ) to determine the highest concentration expected to occur; 2) to determine representative concentrations in areas of high population density; 3) to determine the impact on ambient pollution levels of significant sources or source categories; 4) to determine the general background concentration levels; and 5) to determine the concentration of a number of compounds which may aid in the generation of ground level ozone.

 LEAD 
1997 MONITORING NETWORK 
Lead was monitored in 3 counties in 1997. There were no excessions of the standard. There are some elevated concentrations detected by monitors in the Columbus area. These monitors are located adjacent to a secondary lead smelter. The monitors in the Atlanta area are located near major interstate highways and measure the influence of mobile lead sources. A twenty-year analysis of maximum quarterly concentrations revealed a significant reduction in lead concentrations. The reduction is mainly due to the elimination of lead in gasoline.

 PAMS Target Parameters 
The data collected at the PAMS sites include measurements of 03, NOx,a target list of VOCs including several carbonyls, as well as surface and upper air meteorology. Most PAMS sites measure 56 target hydrocarbons on either a hourly or 3-hour basis during the 0 3 season. The Type 2 sites also collect data on 3 carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone) every three hours during the O3 monitoring period. Included in the monitored VOC species are ten compounds classified as hazardous air pollutants (HAPS).All stations must measure 03, NOx,and surface meteorological parameters on an hourly basis. Below are the parameters monitored at the surface PAMS sites.

 PhotochemicalAssessment Monitoring Carbonyl Compounds 
1996 Monitoring Network 
Three (3) photochemical assessment carbonyl compounds, Formaldehyde, Acetaldehyde, and Acetone were monitored in one metropolitan Atlanta county in 1996. There are currently no ambient air monitoring standards for these compounds. The information gained by measuring these compounds will be used to aid in solving the ozone standard non-attainment problem for the Atlanta metropolitan area.

 Toxic Metals 1996 Monitoring Network 
In response to public concern over the quality of Georgia's air, the Environmental Protection Division began an ambitious project to establish, over the course of five years, twenty sites to monitor non-criteria metals which include arsenic, cadmium, chromium, nickel, and zinc. In 1996 the first five sites were established in five counties statewide. Currently there are no ambient standards established for these metals.

 Air Toxic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 
1996 Monitoring Network 
As part of the Air Toxics Monitoring Network, five sites were established in 1996 to monitor thirty-nine (39) toxic volatile organic compounds (VOC's) Currently there are no ambient toxic air standards applicable to these compounds. 
 
 Volatile Organic Compounds 
The compounds listed below (Table I ) were monitored in 1996. In most cases significant reportable concentrations were either not detected or below the detection limit of the analytical method. Those compounds that did have reportable concentrations are presented in Table 2.

 TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICULATE 1997 MONITORING NETWORK 
In 1987 the particulate standard was changed from Total Suspended Particulate to a PM-10 Standard, (particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or smaller). In 1997 Georgia operated 30 TSP monitors in 19 counties acting as surrogates for PM-10 monitors. There were no excessions of the particulate standard in 1997 utilizing the TSP method therefore the PM-10 standard was met at these sites. A five-year analysis of TSP annual means shows a downward trend in concentrations.

 ACID PRECIPITATION 1997 MONITORING NETWORK 
Acid precipitation was monitored in 6 counties in 1997. The Air Protection Branch operated 3 of these sites and the Georgia Forestry Commission and the University of Georgia operated the remainders. There are no national or state standards for acid precipitation. A five-year analysis of the data reveals no obvious trends.

TYPES OF SAMPLING METHODS 
 
TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICULATES (Manual) Samples are collected on 8" x 10" pre-weighed fiberglass filters with a highvolume sampler for 24 hours. Gravimetric gross particulate analysis is performed on all samples after collection. (method number 91) 
LEAD (Manual) Samples are collected on 8" x 10" pre-weighed fiberglass filters with a highvolume sampler for 24 hours. Atomic absorption analysis is then performed on the samples.(method number 92) 
SULFUR DIOXIDE (Continuous) Continuous analysis for sulfur dioxide is accomplished with the use of pulsed fluorescence (U.V. Light) method. (method number 20) 
NITROGEN DIOXIDE (Continuous) Continuous analysis for nitrogen dioxide is accomplished with the use of ozone phase chemiluminescent method. (method number 074) 
CARBON MONOXIDE (Continuous) Continuous analysis for carbon monoxide is accomplished with the use of nondispersive infrared analysis and gas filter correlation methods. (method number 11) 
 
 OZONE (Continuous) Continuous analysis for ozone is accomplished with the use of U.V. photometric method. (method number 14) 
PARTICULATE MATTER 10 MICRON (PM-10) Samples are collected on microquartz fiber filters with a PM-10 sampler for 24 hours. Gravimetric analysis is performed on all samples after collection. (method number 63 & 98) 
NITRIC OXIDE Continuous analysis for nitric oxide is accomplished with the use of ozone phase chemiluminescent method. (method number 074) 
OXIDES OF NITROGEN Continuous analysis for oxides of nitrogen is accomplished with the use of ozone phase chemiluminescent method. (method number 074) 
ACID PRECIPITATION Samples are collected weekly and analyzed gravimetrically and also for acidity and conductivity. Further analyses are performed for selected compounds. 
VOC ANALYSIS During June, July, and August samples are analyzed hourly using a gas chromatography unit ussin a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). Throughout the year a 24 hour integrated sample is taken and analyzed in a State Laboratory. 
CARBONYL During July and August samples are taken for three hours and analyzed at a State Laboratory. Throughout the year a 24 hour integrated sample is taken and analyzed in a State Laboratory.
