The WVDEP-DAQ ambient air monitoring station in Charleston, WV (NCore) is approximately 8 air-miles from the Optima

Belle facility.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

WVDEP-DAQ assesses whether the air meets federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for air pollutants.
The table below lists the most recent standards established by EPA.
Some background on health protective basis of the NAAQS is below:

… EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (40 CFR part 50) for pollutants considered harmful to public health and
the environment. The Clean Air Act identifies two types of national ambient air quality standards. Primary
standards provide public health protection, including protecting the health of "sensitive" populations such as asthmatics,
children, and the elderly. Secondary standards provide public welfare protection, including protection against decreased
visibility and damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings.

The EPA has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six principal pollutants, which are called "criteria" air pollutants.
Periodically, the standards are reviewed and may be revised. The current standards are listed below. Units of measure for
the standards are parts per million (ppm) by volume, parts per billion (ppb) by volume, and micrograms per cubic meter of
air (µg/m3).
