  1. A Summary ofSt. Louis PM2.5Source Apportionment

  2. Sampling Network • All sites include FRM samplers for compliance • Speciation Trends at Blair, Arnold, Alton, and Bonne Terre • Species and other time resolved data - East St. Louis Supersite • Continuous Samplers at Blair, East St. Louis, Clayton, Arnold (recent) and Bonne Terre

  3. Key Points • Concentrations are high near the urban core and along the Mississippi River • Two sites are currently in violation of the annual PM2.5 standard, including East St. Louis, IL and Granite City, IL (high site) • Concentrations at Blair St are highest for Missouri

  4. St. Louis Source Apportionment Studiesin and near St. Louis • Hopke - PMF; STL Supersite, Blair STN, Arnold • MDNR - PMF; Blair St. STN, Arnold • STI - PMF; STL Supersite, Granite City FRM, Bondville • Schauer - PMF, CMB; STL Supersite

  9. Emission Impact Potential – SO2/SO4

  10. Emission Impact Potential – NOx/NO3

  11. Emission Impact Potential – VOC/Organic Carbon

  12. Summary • Source Apportionments for sites where speciation data exists indicate several significant factors at all sites including: • Secondary Sulfate (Regional) • Secondary Nitrate • Motor Vehicles • Influences of other sources may vary, including steel smelting, copper production, and zinc production • One area where more data may be necessary is Granite City. Plans by OAQPS are underway to acquire source and nearby ambient samples and analyze resulting data to provide a better understanding of source factors at the Granite City neighborhood scale site.
