## BAM-1020 PM2.5 Federal Equivalent Method Monitor

**David Gobeli, Ph.D.**
**April 11, 2008**

## Update (4/08)

- BAM-1020 PM2.5 FEM designation application successfully completed by Met One
- BAM-1020 PM2.5 FEM published in Federal Register 3/08 as Class III Equivalent Method
- EQPM-0308-170
- Manual is being updated to reflect these changes

## Background

- 40CFR §53 revised in October, 2006
*No Coarse (PM**10-2.5**) Standard*
*Very unexpected change of course*
- US network will be minimal (~75 sites total, probably far fewer with automatic monitors)
*At least 5 years before issue is revisited*.
*1987 PM**10** regulations reaffirmed*
*Detailed designation procedures developed for automatic (Class III) PM**2.5** monitors*

## New Regulations 40 CFR §53

- Expect PM monitoring sites currently using Federal Reference Method (FRM) samplers to be replaced with continuous monitors after PM2.5 FEM monitors become available.
- US-EPA is encouraging development of particulate speciation samplers for PM10-2.5 fraction

## PM2.5 Comparability Test Protocol

- 5 Test Campaigns
- 3 Winter
- 2 Summer
_*Triplicate*_ BAM-1020 and _*Triplicate*_ FRM
_*Minimum*_ 23 Valid Days of Data
- 46 Valid Days for Winter/Summer Site
- Strict criteria for multiplicative (slope), additive (intercept) bias and precision

## PM2.5 Comparability Test Protocol

- Only single-channel FRM samplers allowed (BGI PQ-200)
- 23-hour “day”
- Filters retrieved, equipment serviced during one-hour daily downtime
- “Days” did not start at midnight
- All protocol pre-approved by EPA

## Summary

- Today:  Early wind shift today.  Expect isolated showers, with rain developing at the airport earlier than normal.
- Tomorrow:  No rain at the airport because of dry conditions aloft and expected strong easterlies.  Wind may shift, but significantly later than normal

## Summary( cont)

- Tuesday:  Next easterly wave is over us, but is weaker than the previous one.  Difficult forecast at this stage.  Low developing in the Pacific, but it has little upper level support.  Early wind shift because of expected weak easterlies.  Isolated showers developing by 1 or 2 PM.

## Summary (continued)

- Tuesday.  Expect Panama bight convection to develop -- as shown by both models (GMAO and GFS).

## TAF verification

## 2006 and Beyond:  

**New P2 Goals**

- Jane Powers, EH-43
- 2005 Pollution Prevention Workshop
- May 3, 2005

## New P2 Goals Are Needed

-  Most P2-related goals expire end of 2005
-  Existing goals are too prescriptive – one size fits all
-  1993 baseline is outdated and inaccurate due to site changes
-  Goals do not necessarily measure P2 performance
- 	▪ Increases in waste generation could have been caused by 	increased site activity
- 	▪  Decreases in waste generation could have been caused by 	non- P2 events – site closure, operations changes, program  	termination
-   At P2 televideo conference last year, we agreed on collaborative effort to develop new goals

## DOE P2 Goals Work Group

-   Work group formed and met throughout summer 2004 via conference calls
-   Work group included HQ and field representatives from FE, EM, OA,  NNSA, SC and EH
-   Met in Washington, DC in September 2004 to develop draft final goals
-   In November 2004, EH sent goals to HQ and field P2 coordinators for review and comment
-  EH distributed work group’s draft final goals in December 2004

## Two Efforts Led to Very Similar New P2 Goals 

-  P2 Work Group developed
- 	DOE Performance Objective
- 	Department-wide Goals
- 	Metrics  [Examples of Site-Specific Goals and Targets]
-  EH developed draft P2 goals, based on field presentations at 2004 P2 televideo conference
-     DOE Policy Statement
-     Goals, Objectives, and Strategies
-     Performance Measures

## New P2 Goals Should be Strategic

- Have combined WG and EH goals packages
- EMS centered – P2 should be thoroughly integrated into the EMS
-  DOE O 450.1 compliant – EMS must provide for systematic planning, 	integrated execution, and evaluation of P2
-  Results oriented – actually measure P2 performance
-  Dynamic – encourage and accommodate participation in new P2 	initiatives
-  Flexible – appropriate for the full range of activities at all DOE sites
-  Show that P2 is mission-enhancing

## Where We Are

- Expect to issue new goals as DOE Policy and coordinate through DOE Directives System (REVCOM) --  Tentative Schedule
- REVCOM			June
- Resolve Comments		July, August
- Final Policy			October
- Have arguments for qualitative, performance-based goals vs. quantitative goals
- Corporate management is stuck in middle.  Are dealing with Administration calling for specific numeric goals.
- Welcome your help in providing rationale and examples of performance based goals from industry, state, as criteria for awards or membership, etc.

## Operations

- Bombardier CRJ-200
- Pinnacle Airlines
- Traverse City, Michigan
- April 12, 2007

## Weather Information

- Flight delayed and nearly cancelled because of wind at Traverse City
- 10-knot tailwind limit
- Flight allowed to proceed after updated forecast

## Weather Information

- Pilots checked weather several times en route
- Weather about 45 minutes before landing
- IFR conditions with light snow
- Winds decreasing

## Weather Information

- ASOS updated at 1-minute intervals and broadcast continuously
- Pilots only monitored ASOS once, about 37 minutes before landing

## Communications

## Communications

- Two braking action “nil” reports
- Company prohibits landings on runways in “nil” conditions
- Pilots missed first “nil” report
- Received “probably nil” report second time

## Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO)

- SAFO 06012 issued August 2006
- Urged operators to assess landing distances, based on the actual conditions at time of arrival
- Added safety margin of at least 15 percent
- Most adverse braking action report or runway condition report must be used

## Landing Distance Assessment

- December 2006, Pinnacle required landing distance assessments
- In effect at time of accident
- Required pilots to determine whether adequate runway length available before beginning approach to contaminated runway

## Landing Distance Assessment

- Captain familiar with procedure
- Briefed to first officer on earlier flight
- Did not perform prior to accident

## Landing Distance Assessment

- Captain landed on snowy runways many times
- Believed runway conditions okay based on contamination depth
- Learned that snow had accumulated to about 1⁄2 inch
- Told first officer allowed 3 inches

## Landing Distance Assessment

- Captain understood runway was contaminated
- Pinnacle’s landing distance charts would have shown that runway length inadequate

## Landing Distance Assessment

| Type of contaminant  | Stopping margin relative to runway end plus 15% safety margin  |
| --- | --- |
| Compacted snow  | 257 feet  |
| Loose snow  | -851 feet  |
| Standing water/slush  | -966 feet  |
| Ice  | -3,003 feet  |

## Landing Distance Assessment

- Pilots could have performed landing distance assessment
- Workload relatively light
- Pilots could have delayed initiation of approach, if necessary

## Hybrid Microcircuit Reliability(new for FY06)

** **

**Total Cost: = $400 **

**Description:**

**FY06 Plans:**

**Schedule/Costs:**

**Deliverables****:**

**Lead Center/PI: GSFC/J. Plante**

**CS FTEs = 0.1**

- The issues noted in the description section either have played a part in system failures over the last five year or have the potential to in future systems due to our lack of knowledge.  The guidelines and risk mitigation strategies will be produced in a manner and format that can be directly integrated with project parts management practices.  Data generated on existing and new products will be made available on the NEPP website  The reliability of hybrids, through this task work, will be achieved by reducing the false claims of reliability by manufacturers, enable users to avoid damage to tantalum capacitors used inside of hybrids, provide illustrative support for changes to internal visual requirements, increase value gained from engineering done during procurements, clarify value provided by mil-spec radiation plans, identify failure modes of new and existing hybrid

- Several issues have arisen in the last year or two that directly impact hybrid microcircuit reliability.  These issues will be studied and risk mitigation strategies defined for use by NASA flight projects.  These issues include:  a) Definitions of Reliability used in the context of hybrids for space, b) Treatment of Tantalum capacitors: derating and hand soldering/rework, c) DPA photo-documentation of hybrids to support new internal visual inspection requirements, d) PPE checklist for site visits: pre-production, element review, pre-cap visual, pre-ship review, e) Document process and boiler plate for radiation plan used by test organizations and QML vendors, f) COB assemblies as hybrids, g) Identify new test methods for DC/DC converter characterization

- Three white paper reports which will provide the issues coupled with the findings and recommendations associated for each issue above.  DPA photographs and other related data will be supplied to the NEPAG Hybrid WG for known issues and issued to be defined.  A portal will be created to pre-query the NEPP site for all important Hybrid documents including the three new white papers.

- Costs are for contractor labor, laboratory facility charge and test supplies and fixturing.

**NASA and Non-NASA Organizations/Procurements:**

- $5k will be placed in reserve for capacitor purchases and fixturing.

**Initial studies of the Cd****1‐x****Mg****x****Te alloy system:**

- 1. The optical transmission of an as-deposited film and a similar film after a 10 min vapor CdCl2 treatment show that there is little shift of the absorption edge.

- 2. We have verified that the films are p-type and an early result for a cell fabri-cated with an as-deposited CdS/CdMgTe junction indicates some PV activity.

- Rhor = Rock resistivy
- Rhow = Water resistivity
- a = Coefficient of saturation (0.6-1)
- m = Cementation factor (1.4-2.2)
- Phi = Porosity

## Assumptions 

- Porosity phi= 0.4
- m = 2
- a = 1
- T = 25 °C
- Looking for                        Salinity

## Conclusions

- Ohm Mapper: shallow survey.
- Inversion model depends on apparent resistivity and n-factor of filtered pseudo sections.
- The smooth of the data is better to locate the spatial distribution of resistivity.
- High conductive structure with tendency to NE direction, probably due to high clay content or high porosity.
-  Water table is not well defined.
- Based on the model and assumptions, is probable to find potable water.

## Understanding Social Influences on Healthcare Disparities

- Akiko S. Hosler, Ph.D.
- New York State Dept of Health & University at Albany
- The 19th National Conference on Chronic Disease Prevention and Control
- March 2005

## Why Racial/Ethnic Disparities Exist?  

- Because racial/ethnic categories are socially constructed to reflect existing socioeconomic differences and inequalities
- Race/ethnic categories are dependent on the society’s collective perception that such differences are important
- Race/ethnic categories are not fixed
- Change over time within the same society
- Each society has its own unique way to differentiate people based on hereditary characteristics

## Examples of Race/Ethnicity as a Social Construct 

- “Hispanic” category appeared first time in the 1980 census
- In the 1790 census (the first census), “free white males” “free white females” “other persons” and “slaves” were used
- In Great Britain today, “Arabs” “(South) Asians” and “West Indians” are distinctive categories
- U.S. categories are not scientific ( genetics)
- Violate the basic principles of taxonomy
- Rely self-reporting

## But Why Race/Ethnicity Still Important? 

- A representation of the structure and dynamics of our society
- Functional purposes – to advocate needs, interests
- Basis of self identity and group identity for some individuals
- Governments are responsible for keeping track of historic changes of race/ethnic differences (OMB standards)

## Healthcare Disparities - Social Phenomena

- Remind us that health has biomedical causes and social causes
- Certain health-related processes and  outcomes are better understood & dealt with on the population basis
- Continuing effort to search for “social variables” that make sense
- Beyond race/ethnicity, income & education
- Beyond descriptive, cross-sectional analysis

## New York State’s Experience

- Russian-speaking immigrants in NYS
- High rates of obesity & diabetes, lack of knowledge on A1C  (language, refugee status, economic & cultural issues) *Ethnicity & Disease. *2004;14:372-377
- Puerto Rican adults with diabetes in NYC
- Adequate healthcare access, but prevention for cardiovascular complications inadequate (language for older generations, perception for need) *American Journal of Public Health*. 2004;94:434-437. May/June 2005 issue *the Diabetes Educator*
- Japanese residents in Westchester County
- Low rates of obesity & diabetes, adequate preventive care, but men are at risk for diabetes (high socio-economic status, work-related inactivity and stress for men) *Am J of Public Health. *2003:93:1279-1280
