Table 3:

Distribution of drive-average (2 hour duration) pollutant measurements. Drives had on average 815 measurements (at 10 second frequency) each resulting in a single ~2-hour average. Pollution data was available for 37 of the 39 drives in the analytic sample. Note that the standard deviations correspond to the distribution of 2 hour averages, and not for measurements at the raw sampling frequency.
