• Abstract:
  Annual average PM10 concentrations at the Greenwood monitoring station in western Phoenix have ; exceeded EPA’s annual average air quality standard and are higher on average than values observed at the ; West Phoenix monitor, which is located just 2.2 miles (3.5 km) to the northwest. While the West Phoenix ; site is in a residential area away from any major thoroughfares, the Greenwood monitor is located just 330 ; feet (0.10 km) south of I-10 and within a half mile of the heavily traveled I-10/I-17 interchange. Data ; collected during a field measurement program conducted in the spring of 2000 were analyzed to determine ; the extent to which the nearby roadways influence PM10 levels at Greenwood. Analyses of the field data ; showed evidence of stronger on-road mobile source impacts at Greenwood than at other nearby sites, ; including West Phoenix. Dispersion modeling of mobile source emissions showed that on-road sources ; contribute 3.6 to 4.2 times as much PM10 at Greenwood as at three nearby sites (West Phoenix, Autoyard, ; and the Phoenix Supersite). These results were combined with monitoring data, a recent PM2.5 emissions ; inventory for Phoenix, and results of a receptor modeling study at Supersite to estimate that the average onroad ; mobile source PM10 impact at Greenwood is approximately 30 μg/m3,which represents 54% of the total ; observed PM10. Local traffic sources within roughly a half-mile radius of Greenwood are estimated to ; account for 66% of the total mobile source impact or approximately 20 μg/m3 or 36% of the total observed ; PM10.
