Analysis of Speciation Data in Chattanooga, TN for Flagged Days in 2003 and 2004 U. S. EPA April 5, 2005 Dates ° Fifteen dates in 2003 and 2004 identified by Chattanooga for possible fire impacts:

  4/ 15/ 03; 6/ 26/ 03; 6/ 29/ 03; 8/ 19/ 03; 8/ 22/ 03; 8/ 25/ 03;

8/ 28/ 03; 6/ 8/ 04; 6/ 11/ 04; 7/ 17/ 04; 7/ 20/ 04; 8/ 4/ 04;

8/ 10/ 04; 8/ 16/ 04; and 8/ 19/ 04.

° Out of these fifteen, we have identified 8 days as being more possible fire days than the other 7:

  4/ 15/ 03; 6/ 2903; 8/ 19/ 03; 8/ 25/ 03; 7/ 20/ 04; 8/ 4/ 04;

8/ 10/ 04; and 8/ 16/ 04. When are speciation data available?

° At the Chattanooga speciation site ( AIRS ID:

470654002), data are available ( during summers of 2003 and 2004) for the following subset of days that were identified in the previous slide as fire days:

  6/ 26/ 03; 8/ 19/ 03; 8/ 25/ 03; 6/ 8/ 04, 7/ 20/ 04, and 8/ 19/ 04   Though not in the summer of 2003, speciation data is also available on 4/ 15/ 03, which was previously identified as a possible fire date by Chattanooga.

° The Chattanooga speciation site monitors on a 1 in 6 day schedule. 06/

Observations ° 1. Comparison of Chattanooga data to historical fire events ( like the Quebec fires) indicates the impacts are rather small and inconclusive.

° 2. Analyses of past fire events haven't shown high values for sulfates. For the days analyzed here, we do see high sulfate values.

° 3. Potassium is slightly higher on some flagged dates, but not conclusively so, as some non flagged dates also have high potassium levels. There is also some uncertainty about the use of potassium measurements as a marker for fire. Elevated organic carbon levels is the most accepted marker of fire events.

° 4. There appears to be enough evidence to say that on these dates the elevated PM2.5 seems to be caused by the combination of higher sulfate levels driven by regional emissions and high temperatures, and by increases in organic carbon levels ( potentially from fire events, but not conclusively from such events).

° 5. Comparison of Chattanooga speciation data to nearby Nashville speciation data shows similar patterns for these flagged days compared to non flagged days during the same period of time.
