TSP air-Mna in Marietta, OHb: Comparison between traditional dispersion modeling, site-surface area method modeling, and rolling 5-yr long-term measured average

Monitoring Location Facility-Specific Emissions Model Site-Surface Area Emissions Method Long-Termc Measured Average Ratio of Measured/Facility-Specific Emissions Model Concentration Ratio of Measured/Site-Surface Area Emissions Method Concentration
WCCCd 0.14 0.16e 0.16e 1.14 1.00
Harmar Village 0.16 0.18 0.11 0.69 0.61

Notes:

a

Mn concentration in micrograms per cubic meter air (μg/m3).

b

The site-surface area method averages shown here were calculated using the Washington Career Center as the reference monitor at this site.

c

The long-term average includes the average of all monthly composite measurements at each site.

d

WCCC = Washington County Career Center.

e

Note that the site-surface area emissions method is perfectly correlated with the actual measured concentration because the WCCC monitor is the reference location in Marietta.
