INTRODUCTION
The international flow o f a i r po l lu t ion between the Province o f Ontario
a n d t h ? S t a t e o f Michigan has been a subject of great concern to t he c i t i zens
and governnents of each country. T h a t the c i t izens o f one country were affected
by the a i r pollution sources of t h e other was never i n d o u b t ; however, the
oagnitud: of these effects was not determined u n t i l the International Joint
b n m i s s i o n , a t t h e request of the Governments of the United States and Canada ,
b q a n i t s study of the transboundary flow of a i r po l lu t ion i n the Detroit-
Windsor and Sarnia-Port Huron areas. These areas which a re a l so the t rans-
boundary area o f concern i n this report a re shown i n Figure 1. The I.J.C.
study confirmed the existence of an international air pollution problem,
quantified the transboundary flow of air pollutants, and reconmended t h a t the A
S t a t e of Michigan and the Province of Ontario acce lera te the i r abatement
schedules and cooperate to prevent the creation of new sources of-transboundary
air- pol lut ion.
A t the Governors and Premiers Great Lakes Conference i n August 1971 a
resolut ion was passed recommending t h a t "a corn i t tee composed o f the heads of
t h e a i r pollution control agencies for the State of Michigan, Wayne County
a n d the Province of Ontario be established and that they be d i rec ted to
present t o t h i s Conference w i t h i n six months a proposal se t t ing for th an
integrated coo?wative program for the abatement o f transboundary a i r
pol lut ion, and, that such a program be used a s a basis for future cooperative
in tegra ted programs i n o ther areas as the need a r i s e s . "
As directed by the Conference, the aforementioned cornittee was formed
and has completed t he writing o f t h i s document which de ta i l s the objectives and
methods o f cooperation between our two countries. These object ives are
consickred by the air pollution control agencies o f Ontario, Hichigan and
!.!dyne County t o be feas ib le and the frethods are considered to be adequate
t o achieve the objectives.
Representatives o f the 3 agencies will p lan to meet a t l e a s t once i n
each s i x month period for the purposes o f reviewing progress towards
achieving program goa l s , discussing status o f curren t a i r p o l l u t i o n problem
i n the transboundary area, keeping each agency informed on future plans
f o r program c h a n g s in the other agencies, and discussing other matters
re la t ing t o the transboundary air pollution s i tuat ion.
MICHIGAN "ONTARIO TRANSBOUNDARY AREA
Proposed Integrated Cooperative Air P Q l l u t i o n Control Propram i n the Michiqan - Onta r io In t e rna t iona l Area
prepared fo r ACSTRACT The Great Lakes Conference o f
Governors and Premiers
As directed by the Governors and Premiers Great Lakgs Conference, a
co rn i t t ee ccmposod of the heads o f a i r p o l l u t i o n control agencies f o r t h a
S t a t e of Michigm, Wayne County, and the Province o f Ontario, has developed
a proposal se t t ing for th an integrated cooperative program f o r the abatrnlent
o f transboundary air pollution. This program specifies procedures and
r e spons ib i l i t i e s for each agency in the following areas:
I . Air Quality Standards
Air qual i ty standards which a re the objectives o f air pollution control
programs i n Hichigan and i n Ontario are explained. Standards o f
Ontario 2nd Flichigan are conpared and discrepancies discussed. A
11. I d m t i f i c a t i o n o f Signif icant Sources o f Air Pollutfon
Specific point sources o f afr pollutants are named and their es t imated.
1971 emissions o f SO2 and par t iculate mat ter are l is ted. The significance
of area sources and marine sources is also discussed.
I I I . Coinpl iance Schedules
For each ident i f ied point source o f a i r po l lu t ion not currently considered
t o be i n conpliance a compliance schedule will be established by mid-1973.
Enforcement procedures in regard t o other sources are also discussed.
I V . Prevention of Air Pollution Episodes
Procedures are established for action by the respective agencies i n the
event of observed or predicted high-levels of air pollutants.
V. Air Quality Honitoring Network
I n this section the locat4on o f samplers and the specific contaminants
being sampled are ident i f ied and acceptable sampling methods, analytical
techniques and compatible d a t a reporting methods are established.
VI. Air F ’ o l l u t i n r l Con:plaint Exchange and Referral
ProcedLlres are established whereby complaints generated by a source
i n t he neighboring country can be referred to the agency h a v i n g
ju r i sd ic t ion .
V I ; . Consultation cn Plew o r Modified Transboundary Sources
Procedures are established to afford each country the opportunity to
make an i n p u t i n t o the permit g r a n t i n g process for sources affecting
the i r a reas , b u t located outside of t he i r j u r i sd i c t ion .
V I I I . r i o t i ce o f Proposed Rule Changes
Procedures a re established to afford each control agency an opportunity
t o review and make comment on the proposed changes i n the a i r pol lut ion
control requirements of a neighboring jur isdict ion pr ior to the
adoption of such changes.
IX. Exchange o f Expertise
Procedures are established for the exchange of expertise i n t c r t a in
specialized fields o f air pol lut ion control .
X . Other Data and Infomation Exchange
Procedures are established whereby the air pollution control agencies
are afforded an opportunity to acquire from each other weather d a t a ,
a i r pollution emission data, compliance schedules and any other data or
information which may be required for the development and evaluation
o f a i r pollution control strategies.
Sect ion 1. Air Quality Standards
The purpose o f this section i s to specify the program objectives (air
q u a l i t y standards) for the air pollution control agencies of Ontario, FtichilJan
and Wayne County. The only standards discussed i n de ta i l i n this section at-!!
standards for those Contaminants which have been i den t i f i ed as being of t r h n t -
boundary si gni f i cance.
‘The transboundary flow of sulfur dioxide and suspended par t iculate matter
has been demonstrated i n the S t . Clair-Detroit River areas. Due to the nature
of the industry, meteorology and topography o f the areas these contaminants are
considered t o be the most s ign i f icant i n terms o f t h e i r effect on a i r qua l i t y .
The transboundary f low o f the remaining major contaminants, namely oxides o f
nitrogen, hydrocarbons, oxidants and carbon monoxide, are considered to be of
lesser s ignif icance re la t ive to their e f f ec t on a i r qua l i t y i n the neighboring
country.
In general the Ontario, blichigan and Glayne County program objectives are
i n close agreement. The objectives f o r the air contaminants o f current trans-
boundary concern are sumnarired i n Table 1.
TABLE 1. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

( 1 ) Sulfur Dioxidt.
The only differences i n a i r qual i ty object ives for SO2 are the short
t i m e maximum level s , The annual average and daily average levels are com-
lJ.ltible. Ontario has no 3 hour maximum and Michigan has no 1 hour maximum
~ I K I because o f the differences i n the way the numbers are used ( i . e . Michigan
( 1 1 7 0 ~ s i t s 3 hour maximurn t o be exceeded only once per year while Ontario
tioes not st ipulate a number of times i t s 1 hour value can be exceeded)
t h e short term maximum values cannot be readily compared. However, the
23 hour averages which are properly related to the well-being o f the public
J W essent ia l ly the same and provide an acceptable, comon base fo r this
cooperative program.
( 2 ) Suspended Particulates
The Hichigan and Ontario objectives f o r the annual geonetric mean
valrres of suspended part iculate are ident ical . Although dispar i ty exists
tet;v:em the 24 hour values of 90 micrograms per cubic meter for Ontario and
t.!w 150 micrograms per cubic meter fo r Michigan, Ontario is considering a
revision of i t s 24 hour objective t o 120 micrograms per cubic meter, This
r w i s i o n would substant ia l ly reduce the difference i n objectives, Both the
Ontario and Plichigan values would then be comparable i n t h a t they both
repwsent a high qual i ty of clean air. By contrast the 24 hour a i r qua l i t y
standard established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency a s
necessary for the protection o f public health i s 260 rnicrograms/m3.
( 3 ) Odors . ” I_
’The objectives o f all three agencies is t o reduce odors to a non-
nuisance level. Although no numbers exis t a t the present time to describe
acceptable a i r q u a l i t y i n regard to odors, odor emissions are regulated i n
a l l three jur i sd ic t ions :
( a ) Ontario - The Ontario Environmental Protection Act prohibits the
emission o f a contaminant inc lud ing odors which causes an impairment
of the natural environment o r causes material discomfort to any person.
( b ) hlichigan - The Michigan Air Pollution Act prohibits the emission o f
an a i r contaminant ( i n c l u d i n g odors) which causes detriment to the
safety, heal th , welfare or comfort o f any person.
( c ) IJayne County - Has similar res t r ic t ions to the Michigan Air Pollution
Act.
( 4 ) Other Contaminants
There a re many a i r contaminants other than those discussed i n this
section which are emitted i n the transboundary area. A t this time none o f
the agencies considers that any o f the other contaminants are transported
across the international boundary t o a s ignif icant extent. Nevertheless, the
dcjcncies will continue to evaluate the transboundary f low of a l l contaminants.
Conclusion _""
I t i s the conclusion of the comnittee tha t the a i r q u a l i t y standards in
Michigan and i n Ontario f o r the pollutants of transboundary significance are
essent ia l ly s imi la r and form an acceptable basis for cooperative action.
s c c t ~ P T I 11. !dcntification of Significant Sources o f Air Pollution
A . Point Sources
Svveral p o i n t sources of air contaminant emissions have been identified
lution problem. These
are identified in Table 2.
a 5 probable cgntributors t o the transboundary a
;joiot sources and their estimated 1971 emission
U. Area Sources
ir pol
rates
Elrl issions o f particulate and sulfur dioxide f rom area sources, although
!,;sua1 ly less in quantity than f rom identifiable point sources, 'are often a
primary cause o f poor air quality because of the low level, non-dispersive
rlaturc o f their release. Because of this very factor, however, the area
sourccs a re probably of much less transbomdary significance than point sourc2s.
Typical activities that result in release o f air contaminants classified
a: are.3 sotirces are:
Fuel burning
Inciczration
Small industrial agd commercial activities
Transportation
Construction
C. Marine Sources
The emissions of air contaminants from ships in the Detroit and St. Clair
Fi.;vers are r!ot large in terms o f quantity o f material in comparison to other
smrces; however, the emissions can be of a particularly objectionable character
(Socty, grimy part!culates from coal and oil fired boilers and irritating furnes
from poorly operated or maintained oil fired boilers and engines). The nuisance
caused by these emissions can be especially troublesome as the Contaminants are
released at a low level so t h a t there is often little dispersion or dilution
o f thz discharge before it reaches land.

Section I I I . Cornpl iance Schedules
Achievement of air quali ty standards as soon as practicable i s the prime
objective of this cooperative air pollution program; however, the programs
fo r the respective jurisdictions are designed t o achieve in large measure a i r
quality objectives in 1975, which will be reflected in the 1976 a i r
qual i t y d a t a .
A . Point Sources
I t i s the objective o f the air pollution control agencies of Ontario,
Michigan and Ilayne County t o bring a b o u t compliance as soon as possible of
all point sources with their respective air pollution rules and regulations.
An agency having a compliance schedule under consideration will allow b o t h
of the other agencies a n opportunity t o comnent on the proposed schedule
prior t o final adoption. A
The approach used by the three agencies i s basically similar: .
(1 ) In event of a suspected violation, investigations are conducted
and determination o f violation is made.
( 2 ) I f a violation is determined, appropriate abatement orders are
given and a comitment t o control i s acquired.
( 3 ) In event of failure t o comply with abatement orders or refusal
t o supply a satisfactory commitment, legal steps are initiated
t o obtain cornpl i ance . For a l l sources l isted i n Table 2 not currently in compliance, abatement
schedules as of April 1973 are included in gpendix A .
6. Area Sources
I t i s considered t h a t existing regulations of the Province o f Ontario,
State o f Michigan and Wayne County are adequate to regulate area sources.
These regulations are all currently enforceable and allow the agencies t o
determine when sources are emitting excessive a i r contaminants.
17
C . Fldrinne Sources
In thr S t a t e o f Michigan the general smoke emission l imitat ions, as
usudl l y a p p l icd t o stationary sources, arc also applied t o marine vessels.
Tn Canada the Province o f Ontario administers the air pollution regulations
r a c k under the Canada S h i p p i n g Act which includes exceptions from the smoke
erniss.ion l imitations for vessels equipped w i t h hand fired boilers. Ontario
! \as made wpresentat ions to the Canadian federal government to de l e t e these
exceptions.
Ir, Ontario and i n blichigan periodic surveillance of marine vessels will
;;e maintained. 1dilen observations of excessive smoke from marine vessels in
the waters of the neighboring country are recorded, a record o f those obser-
vations will be mailed t o the appropriate enforcement agency. Additional
discussion on the control o f part iculate and sulfur dioxide emissions i s
p1 anned.

S:ction iV. Prevention o f Air Pollution Episodes
A n objective of the cooperative program is to establish procedures whereby
all air pollution control agencies cooperate in the prevention and control o f
air pollution episodes in any one or all of the jurisdictions.
A . Background Information
1. General - When unfavorable meteorological conditions prevail and the trend indicates the occurrence of increasing or sustained abnormally
high levels of contaminants, this situation is termed an "air pollution
epi sode. I'
In both Michigan and Ontario, episode surveillance depcnds on the continuous
rwnitoring o f sulfur dioxide and suspended particulate matter (soilinq
index) and meteorological information to predict the weather behaviour.
In Ontario the weather forecast must cover at least 6 hours and in Michigan
at least 12 hours.
2. State of Michigan Episode Levels - The State of Michigan has defined four episode stages; "forecast", "alert", "warning" and "emergency."
A "forscast" is defined as a metzorological condition producing a potential
for the buildup o f air contaminants. The "alert", "warning" and "emergency"
ar? air pollution episode conditions where abnormally high levels o f air
contaminants have been detected and at which control action will be taken
to avoid a worsening of air quality. Meteorological conditions must be
such that these levels can be expected to persist for 12 or more hours before
the existence of an episode is declared. Considering only sulfur dioxide and
particulate matter (expressed in coefficient o f haze units) the pollutant
concentrations which define these levels are set out in Table 3 and
graphically illustrated in Figure 2. In addition to these two pollutants,
TABLE 3
.- Michigan's Episode Criteria - Averaging
C9!1t;mimnt Time A1 ert Naming Emergency
Sal fur Dioxide 24 hour 0.3 ppm 0.6 Ppm 0.8 P F
Pcirticulate 24 hour 3 COH 5 cot1 7 COH
- "d .,-
so2 x cod 24 hour 0.2 0.8 1.2
3. Province of Ontario Episode Levels - The Ontario Ministry of
F'twironrr;ent maintains an episode surveillance system which is based on the
24 hour running average concentrations of suspended particulate matter (expressed
in co2fficient of haze units) and sulfur dioxide.
Since the relationship between concentrations of suspended particulate
iildtter and t he coefficient of haze vary for each location, equations for
Cntnrio's Air Pollution Index differ for each area, For example, the
cqutation for klindsor's Air Pollution Index i s as follows:
API = 0.78 (156.7 SO2 + 18.26 C 0 H ) I * O 6
with SO2 = 24 hour average concentrations in pprn
COtl = 24 hour average value of COH/lOOO 1 inear

B. Cooperative Procedures
The purpose o f t h i s procedure i s t o ensure that the neighboring
agencies are made aware o f the occurrence o f an a i r p o l l u t i o n episode, the
lev21 s o f contaminants which are responsible, pertinent meteorological
information, and the action being undertaken by a l l agencies t o prevent a
biorsening o f a i r pol lut ion condi t ions.
1. The Sta te o f Michigan, Wayne County and the Province o f Ontario
will exchange informat ion which ident i f ies the locat ion and approximate output

5,:ction VI. Air Pollution Complaint Exchange and Referral
An objective o f the cooperative program is to establish a procedure
whereby complaints generated by sources in the neighboring country can be
referred t o the agency having jurisdiction.
A . Action
1. Complaints received by local units of government from citizens
within their jurisdiction:
Local units of government will be encouraged to instruct complainants
to contact their Provincial, State or County Air Pollution Control
Agency. These local units should also be encouraged to make a careful
record of complaints received by them and refer these complaints to the
proper agency.
2. Complaints received by the air pollution control agency o f the
country adversely affected by the international pollution:
The complaints should normally be written up on the proposed International
Complaint Referral Form (see Figure 4) and transmitted as soon as possible
(preferably within on2 day of receipt) by mail to the agency having jurisdiction
over the polluting source. In cases requiring immediate action, the complaint
should be phoned to the agency having jurisdiction and confirmed by
subsequent mailing of the referral form.
3. Complaints received from citizens of another country by the
Agency having jurisdiction over the source:
- The agency receiving the complaint will advise the agency which has
primary jurisdiction o f the complainant, by letter, that such complaint has
been received, describing the complaint and giving the complainant's name
and address. At the same time the agency having source jurisdiction will
start its complaint investigation.

""- Description of program: The company operates seven boilers a t th i s location w i t h a to ta l p lwt capac i ty of 12,500,000 pounds of stearn per hour. The a i r pollution control division considers boiler unit 7 t o be i n compliance w i t h the Conmission's rules on particulate emissions; however, the division believes t h a t particulate emissions from boiler units 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 exceed t h a t allowed by the Commission's rules. The division also believes that the sulfur dioxide enissions from the plant exceed those t h a t will be allowed by the Commission's Rule 49 on July 1 , 1975.
The company's control program f o r b o t h par t iculate and sulfur dioxide provides that boiler un , i ts 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 wi 11 be converted t o a lo:^ sulfur o i l before July 1 , 1975. The program also provides tha t a limestone slurry flue gas scrubbing system will be ins ta l led for one half the effluent of boi le r u n i t 6 by December, 1973. I n view of the f ac t t h a t the effluent from boi ler u n i t 7 is discharged through a 600 foot s tack, the company does not plan additional sulfur dioxide control for this u n i t . Following the implementation of this program, the average sulfur i n t h e fuel will be 1.58% w i t h the p l a n t operating a t f u l l load. The company's dispersion modeling predicts compliance w i t h a i r quality standards.

Suspended Particulate Sampling a n d Analytical Methods
A . Equi p m m t
1 . Th2 Sampler
High volume a i r sampling equipment capable of sampling 40 t o 60 scfm for
24 continuous hours through flash f ired type A f iberg lass f i l t e rs i s to be used.
Either t h z discharge orifice type the back pressure perforated plate type
may be used. The discharge or i f ice type ut i l izes a s t a n d a r d s ize o r i f ice and a l l
units nay u t i l i ze the same calibration curve and need not be calibrated following
brush replacement. The other type requires calibration o f each sampler a f t e r cach
brush replacement or motor servicing.
2. Accessory Equipmen-t
A . The shel ter may be made out o f aluminum or wood b u t must provide a n
opening to the atmosphere equal to 60 t o 120 square inches.
B . Seven dzy timers used to s tar t the sampler a t midnight and stop i t 24
hogrs l a t e r are necessary to provide the midnight t o m i d n i g h t sampling required
for the correlation of d a t a in th i s transboundary area.
C . Transfomers for reducing voltage thgreby increasing brush l i f e may be
used as long a s t h e f low r a t e i s kept in the 40-60 scfn range.
D. Pressure recorders to monitor air flow throughout the sampling period
are n o t necessary as the pressure drop across type A f i l t e r s i s nearly linear
w i t h respect t o time.
E . Elapse timers are desirable t o measure the total number o f operating
Iloyrs on the equipxent a n d t o minimize errors dl12 t o the inabili ty o f the seven
ddy timers to have the sampler run for exactly 24 hours.
U . Operating Procedures.
1 . The clean f i l t e r sha l l no t be placed i n the sampler u n t i l the l a s t
uorking day ixfore the scheduled sampling date.
7 2
2. Sampler operates every sixth day for 24 hours from midnight to midn igh t
except d u r i n g a i r pollution episode;.
3 . Return the f i r s t working day af ter the sample has been taken and
remove the f i 7 t z r .
4. If a sanple i s missed or for any reason the samDle is known t o be void
the sample s h o u l d not be made up . A sample shall be taken the next scheduled
sampling date and a l l those thereafter. The following are reasons for voiding
a sample: (a ) The sampling time i s less than 18 hours or greater t h a n 30
hours. (b) Mirtcrial i s deposited u n d z r edge o f face plate in g r 2 a t quantity
(loose plate sea l ) . (c ) A portion of t h e f i l t e r i s missing. (Any breakage
of corners or ,ridges generally removes greater weight t h a n t h a t o f the sample.
(d ) The f i l t e r i s ripped before sampling. ( e ) Times, dates or pressure
drop readings across the orificqirneter a t the beginning and end o f the sampl ing
period are oaitted.
A
5. Dur ing prolonged or predict?ble air pollution episodes, and following
not i f icat ion by the appropriate agency, the samplers wili operate on a
continusus basis.
C. Calibration Techniques
1. Discharge Orifice Type Hi-Volume Air Samplers
A calibration curve i s provided w i t h each sampler (always the same curve)
and the points on this cux2 generally fall w i t h i n plus or minus 24: of the
cal ibrat ion curve developed by the ITichigan Department of 'Natural' Resource<.
Either curve i s acceptable.
A. To check calibration of discharge orifice use a calibrated cylinder
and or i f i ce system ( i tself cal ibrated with a primary s tandard such as a Roots
Connersville positive displacement meter) attached to the inlet o f the sampler.
B. Attach mnometers and record pressure drop across each or i f ice for
d i f fe ren t a i r flo:./s. Thc a i r flow must be varied by using a ser ies of
plates t o r e s t r i c t a i r flol;;. 73
2 . Perforated Plate Type Hi-Volume Air Samplers
A . Cli th a c lean f iberglass f i l ter in the sampler and the voltage kept
constant a t 117 volts by means of a variac and a voltmeter. The portable
rotorneter i s se t t o read 60 cfm with the sampler operating.
R . The f ibe rg la s s f i l t e r assembly i s removed and a calibrated cylinder 2nd
o r i f i c e system is s e t up on the i n t a k e o f the hi-volume and connecter! t o a
water manometer. Wi th the voltage s e t a t 117 vol t s the pressure drop across t h e
manometer i s logged against the observed readings of the rotometer for calibrated
o r i f i ce s 140. 18, 13, 10, 7 and 5.
C . A cal ibrat ion curve supplied by the or i f ice manufacturer provides the
actual flow for differing pressure drops across the manometer.
D. A curve i s drawn for the actual flow versus the observed flow for the
different manometer readings for each hi-volume a i r sampler and i s used t o
convert observed readings t o actual flow ra t e for fur ther computation.
E . Each time the brushes are changed or the motor i s serviced the hi-volume
sampler i s reca l ibra ted .
D. Comments on Analytical Techniques
1 . F i l te rs a re t o be equilibrated i n a desiccator or a temperature and
humidity controlled room t o conditions o f constant moisture content before each
weighing.
2. F i l t e r s should n o t be placed i n a drying oven as a loss of vo la t i l e
m a t t e r from the suspended par t iculate may occur.
3 . The weighing balance should be such as t o permit weighing of the f i l t e r
wi thou t f o l d i n g .
4 . The d a t a should be reported t o the nearest microgram per cubic meter.

Soiling Index Sampling Methods
A. Equ i pment
The tape sanplers t o be used i n the transboundary network shall be o f
the A I S 1 type which uses transmittance as the optical property for determining
soiling index, These AIS1 tape samplers may be modified so as t o enable
telemetering of the o u t p u t signal.
0 . Operation
The tape sampler shall be operated i n conformance with the following
c r i t e r i a : ( 1 ) Each sampling spot shall be a result of a two hour sample
a t a flow r a t e of approximately 0.25 cfm or a one hour sample a t a flow rate
o f approximately 0.5 cfm,* ( 2 ) The sample ra te sha l l be checked a t l e a s t
three times pzr week. (3) One and one-half inch w i d t h Whatnan No..4 f i l t e r
paper shall be used. (4 ) The spot diameter sha l l be one inch, equivalent
t o a spot area of 0.00545 square feet. (5) For the episode sampling stations
t h 2 o u t p u t must be either telemetered or recorded continuously a t t he s i t e .
C . Calibration
In operation, the transmittance of l i g h t through the spot should be
measured before each exposure for comparison w i t h the transmittance o f l i g h t
a f t e r exposure. The sampler shall be calibrated monthly i n the mid-range
using a neut ra l dens i ty f i l t e r ,
'kFurther evaluation of the equivalency of these two Kethods i s cu r ren t ly being made.

Continuous Sulfur D i o x i d e Sa;npl i n s Techniques
I', . Equ i pmen t _ _ i h o preferred ncthods for sampling sulfur dioxide cwtinuously in the
a tn .aspkrc are thc autoctated pararosaniline procedure and t h z method usinq
coulometric detection, provided oxidizing and reducing interferences strch
(1s 03, 1102, H2S and chlorine are removed. Other acceptable procedures for new
?quipmeat include flame photometric detection systems. Conductivity type
sulfur dioxide analyzers have been and continue t o be used in the transboundary
area. Conductivity analyzers are subject to interferences from many contaminants
b u t it has not been common practice, as in the case of the coulometric type, to
scrub the interferring gases.
I t i s the position o f the air pollution control agencies in this transboundary
area that the industries which are currently using conductivity type analyzers
discontinue their use by replacing them with more satisfactory types. It i s
recognized that this replacement cannot be accomplished immediately and that,
in the interim, these agencies w i l l not totally disregard the data resulting
fron their operation but w i l l interpret it with respect to the sampling location
and potential for false data due t o interferences. Levels of sulfur dioxide
measured with conductivity type analyzers wi 11 not be used as a basis for
forrulating action during an air pollution episode.
The sulfur dioxide monitoring equiprent which is used in the transboundary
arca sh~ll have a ninimrn detectible sensitivity o f 0.01 parts per million and
interference equivalent not exceeding .01 parts per million.
A recorder must be provided for each analyzer which provides sulfur
d i o x i d e d a t a durin9 a i r pollution episodes. This i s considered necessary for
f i e ld v e r i f i c a t i o t l regardless o f whether the data is telcvetercd t o the
c(?nt. t*nI location or n o t .
H . Opera t ion
The operation of each unit shall be such as to provide average hourly
concentrations either through telemeteriny and computer facilities or through
n x n u a l reduction procedures at the site.
I:. Cal i bration
The dynamic calibration of all sulfur dioxide continuous monitoring
instrun:ents shall be performed following each major repair work to the instrument
b u t no less frequent than every three months. The instruments may be calibrated
using either of the following two methods: (1) Using the standard tlest-Gaeke (1 1 method to analyze a synthesized atmosphere contained in a mylar bag. The
monitors response to this atmosphere is compared to the chemically obtaiced
valu2. Synthesized atmospheres shall be prepared in the low range (less than 0.1
parts per million) and in mid range (approximately 0.4 parts per. million).
(2) A dynzmic calibration system consisting o f a calibrated sulfur dioxide
pcrneation tube placed in a constant temperature oven through which a measured
volume o f sulfur dioxide free air is passed. The perneat-ion tubes are calibrated
agdinst a certified standard reference tube obtained from the U. S. National
Cureau of Standards. Again the calibration of the instruments should be both
i n t h e low range and in the Inid range.
