1 Summary

This report contains ambient air quality results for Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (HBRC)

at the Napier and Hastings ambient air quality sites. The continuous parameters were

monitored from 10 July to 02 September 2013. The parameters monitored for this report

at the Napier and Hastings sites were:

Carbon Monoxide (CO) at both sites

Nitrogen Oxides (NO and NO2) at both sites

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) at Napier

Ozone (O3) at Hastings

Particulate Matter as PM10 at both sites

The monitoring was conducted by Watercare, on behalf of HBRC. Monitoring was set up

to measure key air pollutants associated with adverse effects on people’s health and

forms part of HBRC’s national environmental standard requirements.

The Napier site was located in the suburb of Marewa and the Hastings was located in

Saint Leonards. The sites were both near major roads and residential areas. At the time

of the monitoring the sites would have primarily been affected by domestic heating and

vehicle emissions.

Ambient air quality monitoring at Napier and Hastings in Hawke’s Bay for the period of 10

July to 02 September 2013 showed that:

For Napier:

There were no exceedences of the National Environmental Standard or

Ambient Air Quality Guideline for CO, NO2, SO2 or PM10.

Valid data was greater than 96% for all parameters.

The predominant winds came from the west-northwest.

PM10 24-hour average concentrations had 3.9% in the “alert” EPI category

(>66% of 50µg/m3).

For Hastings:

There were no exceedences of the National Environmental Standard or

Ambient Air Quality Guideline for CO, NO2 or O3.

There were six exceedences of the National Environmental Standard and

Ambient Air Quality Guideline for PM10.

Valid data was greater than 98% for all parameters except O3 (79%) due to a

sample flow fault.

The predominant winds came from the southwest to west-southwest.

CO 8-hour average concentrations had 0.2% in the “alert” EPI category

(>66% of 10mg/m3).

O3 8-hour average concentrations had 7.1% in the “alert” EPI category

(>66% of 100µg/m3).

PM10 24-hour average concentrations had 11.1% in the “action” EPI category

(>50µg/m3) and 20.4% in the “alert” EPI category (>66% of 50µg/m3 and

<50µg/m3).

HBRC, Napier and Hastings 10 July to 02 September 2013

Watercare Services Ltd Page 2 of 60

The maximum and average CO, NO2 and PM10 concentrations were higher at the

Hastings site than at the Napier site.

The average CO concentrations at Hastings were twice as high as Napier

The morning peak concentrations for CO and SO2 occurred an hour earlier than NO2

and PM10.

The morning peak concentrations occurred an hour earlier at Hastings.

The afternoon peak concentrations occurred an hour earlier at Napier.

The majority of the pollutants came from the main wind directions for the site.

Hasting had lower ambient temperature, higher humidity and lower wind speeds

than Napier.

2 Introduction

HBRC commissioned Watercare to conduct continuous monitoring of carbon monoxide

(CO), oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO2), sulfur dioxide, ozone particulate matter as PM10

and meteorological parameters at the HBRC Napier and Hastings sites in Hawke’s Bay.

The monitoring was carried out to examine the ambient air quality within the area.

This report presents a summary of data from 10 July to 02 September 2013. Monitoring

was undertaken during winter so pollutant concentrations due to home heating emissions

could also be observed along with vehicle emissions and any other ambient interactions.

For the reporting period the gaseous instruments have been adjusted for span and zero

instrument drift using the results from automatic and manual calibrations. All data in this

report has been validated. Quality assurance checks have been carried out to ensure that

invalid and calibration data are not reported.

This report presents:

a summary of ambient air quality guidelines and standards

an overview of the relevant guideline and standards

3 Ambient Air Quality Guidelines and Standards

The measurements of air quality made at Napier and Hastings can be compared with

various air quality guidelines or standards. The Ministry for the Environment (MfE)

National Environmental Standards (NES) for air quality superseded the Ambient Air

Quality Guidelines (AAQG) 2002 in some areas. These limits are listed in Table 1.

3.1 New Zealand Environmental Performance Indicators

In order to provide guidance on when improvement should be required, the MfE has

provided Environmental Performance Indicators (EPI) for air quality, as set out in

Table 2. These indicators can act as both indicators of poor air quality and goals which

policy can work towards achieving.

Table 2: Environmental Performance Indicators for Air Quality

Category Maximum Measured

Value Comment

Action Exceeds guideline Completely unacceptable by national and international

standards

Alert Between 66% and

100% of the guideline

Warning level, which can lead to guidelines being

exceeded if trends are not curbed

Acceptable Between 33% and

66% of the guideline

A broad category, where maximum values might be of

concern in some sensitive locations, but are generally

at a level which does not warrant dramatic action

Good Between 10% and

33% of the guideline

Peak measurements in this range are unlikely to affect

air quality

Excellent Less than 10% of the

guideline

Of little concern. If maximum values are less than a

tenth of the guideline, average values are likely to be

much less

5 Methods

This section provides the methodology and processes used in the measurement of CO,

NO2, SO2, O3, PM10 and the meteorological parameters

5.1 Quality Assurance

All monitoring services undertaken by Watercare were in accordance with the MfE ‘Good

Practice Guide for Air Quality Monitoring and Data Management’ (GPG) 2009. Watercare

is accredited by International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) for the following relevant

methods:

AS 3580.7.1 – 2011: Determination of carbon monoxide – Direct-reading

instrumental method.

AS 3580.5.1 – 2011: Determination of oxides of nitrogen – Direct-reading

instrumental method.

AS 3580.4.1 – 2008: Determination of sulfur dioxide – Direct-reading

instrumental method.

AS/NZS 3580.9.11 – 2008: Determination of suspended particulate matter – PM10

beta attenuation monitors.

All pollutant results in this summary report have been validated and calculated to

standard temperature (0°C) and pressure (1atm). The instruments continuously measure

the parameters allowing data to be analysed and reported from 10-minute data points to

a variety of average periods, including 1-hour, 24-hour and one year. Watercare

provided the following monitoring services:

Instrument operation, calibration and maintenance:

This included monthly visits and the use of automatic alternate day calibration

systems for all continuous gas monitors. This ensured that the requirements of

the relevant Australian Standards for weekly calibration of continuous analysers

were met.

Data logging, daily polling, checking, validation, peer review and reporting:

This encompassed the entire data quality assurance process ensuring that the

final data set reported is correct and valid data capture is achieved. Data was

logged onsite and download at regular intervals during the day via a wireless

router to Watercare’s data management and reporting software. Subsequently,

the data is checked, validated and reported in line with the GPG.

5.2 Carbon Monoxide

Measurements were made in accordance with AS 3580.7.1 – 2011 using an Ecotech

model 9830B at Napier and an API model 300EM at Hastings. The instruments are

infrared absorption gas analysers which continuously measures carbon monoxide.

5.3 Nitrogen Oxides

Measurements were made in accordance with AS 3580.5.1 – 2011 using an API model

200E at both sites. The instruments are chemiluminescence gas analysers which

continuously measures nitrogen oxides.

6 Results

This section provides the site performance and an overview of the results for CO, NO2, SO2,

O3, PM10 and the meteorological parameters.

6.1 Site Performance

The MfE GPG 2009 suggests that it is difficult to reach anything close to 100% valid data for

long-term monitoring. As such site performance has been evaluated against a target of

95%. The per cent of valid data is defined as the per cent of valid data following quality

assurance adjustments.

Valid data was excellent (greater than 95%) for almost all parameters monitored except for

O3 at Hastings. Table 3 shows overall site performance for the reporting period.

Table 4 presents a statistical summary of validated CO 1-hour and 8-hour averages that

have been calculated from 10-minute averages. There were no exceedences of the air

quality standards or guidelines listed in Table 1. The results of CO measured from 11 July to

02 September 2013 are shown graphically in Figure 2 to Figure 7. The CO maximum 1-hour

average concentrations occurred on different days at the two sites. On average CO

concentrations at Hastings were twice as high as CO concentrations at Napier.

At Napier the 1-hour CO concentrations were predominantly from the west-northwest

(Figure 4) and CO concentrations were less than 5mg/m³. At Hastings the 1-hour CO

concentrations were predominantly from the southwest to west-southwest (Figure 5) and

CO concentrations were greater than 5mg/m³ from the west-southwest to west-northwest.

From the diurnal variation (Figure 6) the average CO concentrations were elevated in the

morning, likely due to traffic, and in the evening, likely due to domestic heating and calm

conditions. At Napier the morning peak was from 08:00 to 11:00 and the evening peak was

from 17:00 to 23:00. At Hasting the morning peak was from 07:00 to 10:00 and the higher

evening peak was from 18:00 to 02:00. The Hastings CO concentrations were higher than

Napier especially during morning and evening.

CO concentrations measured at Napier were in the excellent” to “good” EPI categories for

both 1-hour and 8-hour averages (Figure 7). CO concentrations measured at Hastings were

in the “excellent” to “acceptable” EPI categories for 1-hour averages and “excellent” to

“alert” EPI categories for 8-hour averages.

6.3 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

Table 5 presents a statistical summary of validated NO2 1-hour and 24-hour averages that

have been calculated from 10-minute averages. There were no exceedences of the air

quality standards or guidelines listed in Table 1. The results of NO2 measured from 12 July

to 02 September 2013 are shown graphically in Figure 8 to Figure 14. The NO2 maximum 1-

hour average concentrations occurred on different days at the two sites (Table 5). On

average NO2 concentrations were higher at Hastings at than at Napier.

At Napier the 1-hour NO2 concentrations were predominantly from the west-northwest

(Figure 11) and NO2 concentrations were greater than 50µg/m³ from the east-northeast to

east. At Hastings the 1-hour NO2 concentrations were predominantly from the southwest to

west-southwest (Figure 12) and NO2 concentrations were greater than 40µg/m³ from all

directions.

From the diurnal variation (Figure 13) the average NO2 concentrations were elevated in the

morning and were elevated higher in the evening, likely due to traffic and calm conditions.

At Napier the morning peak was from 09:00 to 11:00 and the evening peak was from 16:00

to 19:00. At Hasting the morning peak was from 08:00 to 10:00 and the evening peak was

prolonged from 17:00 to 22:00. The Hastings NO2 concentrations were higher than Napier

especially during the evening.

NO2 concentrations measured at Napier were in the “excellent” to “good” EPI categories for

both 1-hour and 24-hour averages (Figure 14). NO2 concentrations measured at Hastings

were in the “excellent” to “acceptable” EPI categories for both 1-hour and 24-hour

averages.

6.5 Ozone (O3)

Table 7 presents a statistical summary of validated O3 1-hour and 8-hour averages that

have been calculated from 10-minute averages. There were no exceedences of the air

quality standards or guidelines listed in Table 1. The results of O3 measured from 10 July to

02 September 2013 are shown graphically in Figure 20 to Figure 24. The O3 maximum 1-

hour average concentrations of 78.4µg/m3 occurred on 04 August 2013 at 07:00 (Table 7).

At Hastings the 1-hour O3 concentrations were predominantly from the southwest to west-

southwest (Figure 22) and O3 concentrations were greater than 60µg/m³ from all directions.

From the diurnal variation (Figure 23) the average O3 concentrations began to elevate in the

morning and decrease with the sunset around 17:30. At Hastings the late morning to

afternoon peak was from 10:00 to 18:00, likely due to the morning traffic related

compounds and calm conditions.

O3 concentrations measured at Hastings were in the “excellent” to “acceptable” EPI

categories for 1-hour averages and “excellent” to “alert” EPI categories for 8-hour averages

(Figure 24).

6.6 Particulate Matter as PM10

Table 8 presents a statistical summary of validated PM10 24-hour averages that have been

calculated from 10-minute averages. There were six exceedences of the ambient air quality

standards and guidelines listed in Table 1 at Hastings. The results of PM10 measured from 11

July to 02 September 2013 are shown graphically in Figure 25 to Figure 31. The PM10

maximum 24-hour average concentrations occurred on different days at the two sites. On

average PM10 concentrations were higher at Hastings than at Napier. At Hastings the PM10

concentrations were below 62µg/m3 for 95 per cent of the monitoring period while Napier

was below 33µg/m3.

At Napier the 1-hour PM10 concentrations were predominantly from the west-northwest

(Figure 27) and PM10 concentrations were greater than 100µg/m³ from the east and west-

northwest. At Hastings the 1-hour PM10 concentrations were predominantly from the

southwest to west-southwest (Figure 28) and PM10 concentrations were greater than

100µg/m³ from the east-northeast, east-southeast, west-southwest to west-northwest and

north-northwest.

From the diurnal variation (Figure 29) the average PM10 concentrations were elevated in the

morning, likely due to traffic, and in the evening, likely due to domestic heating and calm

conditions. At Napier the morning peak was from 10:00 to 11:00 and the evening peak was

from 17:00 to 22:00. At Hasting the morning peak was from 08:00 to 10:00 and the

evening peak was higher and prolonged from 19:00 to 02:00. The Hastings PM10

concentrations were higher than Napier from 19:00 to 09:00.

PM10 concentrations measured at Napier were in the “good” to “alert” EPI categories for 24-

hour averages (Figure 30). PM10 concentrations measured at Hastings were in the “good” to

“action” EPI categories for 24-hour averages.

The six PM10 exceedences listed in Table 9 shows that there were three exceedences on

three consecutive days. The exceedences occurred on different days of the week and five

out of six occurred during July. The 10-minute calm conditions (winds less than 0.5m/s)

greater than 25% for every day .The daily pattern of these exceedences (Figure 31) shows

that the elevated PM10 concentrations occurred in the evenings from 19:00.
