Calculation For The Concentration In Ambient Air

Conversion Equation:
NO concentration (ppb) = a NOx ( W NOx- W No2) It
N02 concentration (ppb) = aN02xw N02 It
502 concentration (ppb) = a sos xW soz It
NH3 concentration (ppb) = a NH3xW NH3 It
03 concentration (ppb) = a 03x W 03 It

Where:
W Nox,W No2: N02 quantity (ng) collected in NOx and N02 collection elements
W s02 : 502 quantity (ng) collected in 502 collection element
W NH3: NH3 quantity (ng) collected in NH3 collection element
W03:03 quantity (ng) converted from N03 quantity collected in 03 element
a NO• a No2, a s02, a NHJ• a 03: ppb concentration conversion coefficient
( ppb·min Ing ) normally at 20°C, R.H. 70% to be based.

a No= 60, a No2 = 56, a soz = 39.4, a NH3= 43.8, a03= 46.2
These values were obtained by a theoretical calculation and an experimental
basis using a glass chamber. These values are also changeable depending on
temperature, humidity and exposure time.

Calculation Of Concentration Conversion Coefficients For NO And N02

In order to enhance the accuracy of Ogawa sampler measurement method

a NO and a No2 can be calculated for a combination f temperature and

relative humidity using the following formulas:
10000
a No=
( • 0.78 X [P] X [RH] ) + 220

10000
ON02=
( 0.677 X [P] X [RH] ) + ( 2.009 X [T] ) + 89.8
