AQS NO2 and SO2 NAAQS Revisions
The "AQS Technical Note – NAAQS Reporting Issues for NO2 and SO2, NCore Reporting Issues for NOy and trace-level gases - November 3, 2010" stated that the standard units for NO2 and SO2 had changed from ppm to ppb. To be consistent, the standard units for NO2 and SO2 related parameters will also be changed from ppm to ppb, and it is the conversion for these parameters that will take place this weekend.
• Standard units for the following will now be ppb (code 008): Reactive oxides of nitrogen (NOy) - 42600
Nitric oxide (NO) - 42601
Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) - 42603
SO2 max 5-min avg - 42406
