Table 5.2 Action / Limit Levels for Air Quality

Parameters

Action Level

Limit Level

24-hour TSP Level in µg/m3

1For baseline level ≤ 200 µg/m3, Action level = (baseline level * 1.3 + Limit level)/2; For baseline level > 200 µg/m3 Action level = Limit level

260 µg/m3

1-hour TSP Level in µg/m3

2For baseline level 384 µg/m3, Action level = (baseline level * 1.3 + Limit level)/2; For baseline level > 384 µg/m3, Action level = Limit level

500 µg/m3

Notes:

1. The Action Level for 24-hour TSP Level:

a) AMS 2 = (71.1*1.3 + 260) / 2 = 176 µg/m3; b) AMS 3C = (56.9*1.3 + 260) / 2 = 167 µg/m3;

c) AMS 6 = (66.4*1.3 + 260) / 2 = 173 µg/m3; d) AMS 7B = (82.3*1.3 + 260) / 2 = 183 µg/m3;

2. The Action Level for 1-hour TSP Level:

a) AMS 2 = (191.5*1.3 + 500) / 2 = 374 µg/m3; b) AMS 3C = (18.2.2*1.3 + 500) / 2 = 368 µg/m3;

c) AMS 6 = (169.2*1.3 + 500) / 2 = 360 µg/m3; d) AMS 7B = (184.2*1.3 + 500) / 2 = 370 µg/m3;
