PDC on Risk and Hazard Assessment, Maharshi MehtaKartik Vora
This document discusses hazard and risk assessment. It provides an agenda for a presentation on the topic, including introductions to industrial hygiene, hazards, risk assessment tools, case studies, and demonstrations of risk assessment tools. Exposure limits for various chemicals are presented. Risk assessment methodologies like planning, site visits, ranking, and quantitative exposure monitoring are explained. Case studies and examples of risk assessment tools from organizations like HSE and ILO are demonstrated. The importance of comprehensive risk assessment for implementing controls and protecting worker health is emphasized.
Here are the 2 main reasons why employees are required to be provided with and to use PPE on a certain task:
1. Engineering controls and administrative controls are not feasible or do not completely control the hazard. PPE is needed to supplement other control measures.
2. There is a temporary hazard present during certain maintenance, repair, or cleaning activities that require the direct handling of hazardous substances. In these situations, PPE may be the most practical means of protection until the activity is completed.
This document discusses methods for deriving ambient air standards from occupational exposure limits like TLVs when IRIS values are unavailable. It finds that a simple formula predicts IRIS-based standards from TLVs better than just applying a reduction factor: 0.000019×TLV1.31. This formula was derived through regression analysis of 76 substances with both TLV and IRIS values. While TLVs have limitations, using this formula allows TLVs to inform standards in a way more consistent with IRIS, which are preferred for protecting public health.
The document discusses applied industrial hygiene practices in the pharmaceutical industry. It covers identifying health hazards, assessing exposures, and implementing exposure controls. Methods of industrial hygiene include identifying hazards from MSDS and literature, prioritizing hazards, assessing exposures through qualitative and quantitative methods like personal sampling, and developing and implementing exposure control plans. The document also discusses evaluating ventilation systems, addressing ergonomic issues like manual handling and repetitive motions, and ensuring proper hygiene and PPE practices to protect worker health and safety.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ACME Printing Corporation has had an active air-sampling program in place for several years. Air
sampling was conducted to assess personal exposures to select components of commonly used
chemicals associated with the printing process. An additional sample was collected to assess ambient
concentrations of ozone. A total of five personal samples were collected and analyzed for ink
components; one area sample was collected and analyzed for ozone. Sampling was conducted in
accordance with established procedures with results being compared to two relevant exposure limits.
Personal samples ranged from 14.8 - 59.0% of the calculated additive Permissible Exposure Limit (i.e.,
n-propanol and n-propyl acetate combined). The results are in general agreement with samples taken in
previous years. The area sample result for ozone was deemed insignificant after it was determined that
the lamination process was non-operational the day of the study. Recommendations are made to share
results with affected personnel, continue the annual sampling survey, and conduct another ozone study.
BACKGROUND
The printing industry uses a variety of inks, solvents, and adhesives that have chemical constituents
deemed hazardous according to definitions established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Federal regulations require employers to evaluate employee exposures to
select substances and assure that airborne concentrations do not exceed eight-hour, time-weighted
averages known as Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs). Employee exposures below PELs are not
expected to cause adverse health effects in a majority of a healthy working population.
To evaluate exposures, ACME Printing has been conducting air sampling on an annual basis for
several years. Previous year’s results have generally shown personal sampling results at or below 50%
of t.

The document summarizes the results of an annual air sampling survey conducted at an ACME Printing Corporation facility. Personal air samples were collected from five employees and analyzed for concentrations of n-propanol and n-propyl acetate. All personal sample results were below the applicable OSHA permissible exposure limits, ranging from 14.8-59.0% of the calculated additive limit. An additional area sample for ozone was also collected and found to be well below the exposure limit. The report provides recommendations to share the results with employees and continue annual air sampling.
Air quality control in the working area of ivf clinic (I. Ushakov)cons2013
This document discusses monitoring and controlling air quality in IVF clinics. It notes that anesthetics, antiseptics, and medical gases used can introduce chemical air contaminants and volatile organic compounds. Without proper ventilation and safety procedures, staff are at risk of chronic exposure. The objectives are to develop a monitoring program for heavily exposed areas and provide a quantitative assessment of control effectiveness. Over 40 days, concentrations of volatile organic compounds were measured daily in operating rooms and laboratories. Implementing procedures like renewing equipment, refilling vaporizers only at end of day, and evacuating used gases reduced average concentrations measured. The conclusion is that organized monitoring and control measures can effectively improve air quality in IVF clinics.
The document discusses Alcon's Risk-based Exposure Evaluation Process (REEP) which aims to protect pharmaceutical workers from exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients during manufacturing. REEP involves taking an inventory of all APIs, prioritizing them based on worst-case exposure scenarios, conducting breathing zone sampling during tasks using IOM samplers, analyzing samples using Bayesian Decision Analysis to calculate the required Assigned Protection Factor for respirators. Preliminary results from six sites found over 50% of 57 samples exceeded exposure limits, and improvements to controls are underway based on factors identified to contribute to high exposures such as work practices, engineering controls, and process design.
The document discusses biases associated with using PM10 and PM2.5 samplers to measure particulate matter concentrations. Specifically, it notes that sampler measurements are impacted by the interaction between particle size distributions in the air and sampler performance characteristics. Samplers cannot accurately measure virtual cut concentrations of particles below certain sizes, as some smaller particles may not be collected while some larger particles may be. This can lead to unequal regulation of industries emitting particles of different sizes but with the same measured concentrations. To achieve equal regulation, measurements would need to be based on actual particle sizes rather than sampler measurements.
This document summarizes a study that assessed health risks from occupational exposure to chemicals at a petrochemical industry complex in Iran. The study evaluated risks through a semi-quantitative analysis of 27 chemicals across four units. It also examined spirometry indices in employees. The results found that Raffinate in the Butadiene unit posed the highest risk. Spirometry measures like FVC and FEV1 were negatively correlated with age and work experience, indicating reduced pulmonary function in older and longer-tenured employees. Overall, 48.1% of chemicals posed low risk, 29.6% medium risk, 18.5% high risk, and 3.7% very high risk. The study concluded that variables like age
Kem Medical Response to OSHA RFI Docket No OSHA-2012-0023Doug Kruger
This document discusses chemical exposure risks in healthcare settings and provides suggestions to OSHA on improving chemical management. It notes that healthcare workers face risks from disinfectants, sterilants, anesthetic gases, and other chemicals. Better defining monitoring requirements and developing task-based or hazard-banding rules could help facilities improve compliance. Passive dosimeters that measure exposures throughout a shift are recommended for accurate exposure assessment.
This document summarizes in-vitro testing of various bypass heat and moisture exchangers (BHMEs) to evaluate their impact on aerosol delivery to ventilated patients. Two test methods were used: Andersen cascade impaction and laser diffraction. For both tests, the AirLife BHMEs showed comparable aerosol delivery to using no device, with a respirable fraction over 90%. The laser diffraction also showed the AirLife devices influenced aerosol less than the CircuVent HME and similarly to the Gibeck Humid-Flo. The conclusion is that the AirLife BHME has minimal risk of reducing aerosol delivery to ventilated patients.
Comparison of Package Analyzers for Total Package Oxygen - Alexandra PocockAlexandra Cameron
This study compared three Total Package Oxygen (TPO) analyzers (Instruments A, B, and C) by injecting canned beer with known amounts of air (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 μL) and measuring the TPO. All instruments showed equal precision at each injection amount according to ANOVA analysis. While all instruments were equally precise, instrument A was deemed easiest to operate. The study concluded the instruments were equally precise and pricing should be a key consideration in choosing a TPO analyzer.
The document discusses recommended exposure limits (RELs) and permissible exposure limits (PELs) established by NIOSH and OSHA for various substances such as aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, and lead. It notes health effects reported from exposure to these substances including lung fibrosis from aluminum, peripheral nerve damage and cancer from arsenic, irritation from barium and calcium, respiratory issues and cancer from beryllium, irritation and organ damage from cadmium, dermatitis and lung issues from chromium, respiratory and skin issues from cobalt, irritation from copper, and benign pneumoconiosis from iron.

This document outlines the learning objectives, readings, and content for Unit VII of an industrial hygiene course. The unit focuses on hazard controls, discussing the hierarchy of controls established by OSHA including elimination/substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment. It provides examples of each type of control and explains that the most effective methods are those that prevent exposures, such as eliminating a hazard. Common controls like ventilation systems and noise barriers are also described.
This document discusses USP 797 regulations regarding environmental quality control for sterile compounding facilities. It outlines the need for regular air and surface sampling to test for microbial contamination where sterile compounds are prepared. Facilities must determine the risk levels of the compounds they produce to ensure sampling frequency and action levels meet USP 797 guidelines. If contamination exceeds allowed levels, facilities must take steps to eliminate the issue and re-sample to confirm. Outsourcing environmental sampling to qualified labs can help facilities achieve and maintain compliance.

This study evaluated the effects of air pollution on lung function in traffic police, petrol workers, and roadside vendors in Jhansi City, India. Spirometry tests were used to measure lung function parameters like FVC, FEV1, PEFR and FEF25–75%. The results showed a significant decline in all lung function parameters in the study groups compared to the control group, with roadside vendors having the lowest values. Smokers in the study groups also had significantly lower lung function values than non-smokers. The study concludes that constant exposure to vehicle emissions negatively impacts lung health, with roadside vendors being the most affected group due to lack of protective measures and awareness.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ACME Printing Corporation has had an active air sampling program in place for several years. Air
sampling was conducted to assess personal exposures to select components of commonly used
chemicals associated with the printing process. An additional sample was collected to assess ambient
concentrations of ozone. A total of five personal samples were collected and analyzed for ink
components; one area sample was collected and analyzed for ozone. Sampling was conducted in
accordance with established procedures with results being compared to two relevant exposure limits.
Personal samples ranged from 14.8 - 59.0% of the calculated additive Permissible Exposure Limit (i.e.
n-propanol and n-propyl acetate combined). The results are in general agreement with samples taken
in previous years. The area sample result for ozone was deemed insignificant after it was determined
that the lamination process was non-operational the day of the study. Recommendations are made to
share results with affected personnel, continue the annual sampling survey and conduct another ozone
study.
BACKGROUND
The printing industry uses a variety of inks, solvents and adhesives that have chemical constituents
deemed hazardous according to definitions established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Federal regulations require employers to evaluate employee exposures to
select substances and assure that airborne concentrations do not exceed 8-hour, time-weighted
averages known as Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs). Employee exposures below PELs are not
expected to cause adverse health effects in a majority of a healthy working population.
To evaluate exposures, ACME Printing has been conducting air sampling on an annual basis for
several years. Previous year’s results have generally ...

The document summarizes the results of an annual air sampling survey conducted at an ACME Printing Corporation facility. Personal air samples were collected from five employees and analyzed for concentrations of n-propanol and n-propyl acetate. All personal sample results were below the applicable OSHA permissible exposure limits, ranging from 14.8-59.0% of the calculated additive limit. An additional area sample for ozone was also collected and found to be well below the exposure limit. The report provides recommendations to share the results with employees and continue annual air sampling.
Air quality control in the working area of ivf clinic (I. Ushakov)cons2013
This document discusses monitoring and controlling air quality in IVF clinics. It notes that anesthetics, antiseptics, and medical gases used can introduce chemical air contaminants and volatile organic compounds. Without proper ventilation and safety procedures, staff are at risk of chronic exposure. The objectives are to develop a monitoring program for heavily exposed areas and provide a quantitative assessment of control effectiveness. Over 40 days, concentrations of volatile organic compounds were measured daily in operating rooms and laboratories. Implementing procedures like renewing equipment, refilling vaporizers only at end of day, and evacuating used gases reduced average concentrations measured. The conclusion is that organized monitoring and control measures can effectively improve air quality in IVF clinics.
The document discusses Alcon's Risk-based Exposure Evaluation Process (REEP) which aims to protect pharmaceutical workers from exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients during manufacturing. REEP involves taking an inventory of all APIs, prioritizing them based on worst-case exposure scenarios, conducting breathing zone sampling during tasks using IOM samplers, analyzing samples using Bayesian Decision Analysis to calculate the required Assigned Protection Factor for respirators. Preliminary results from six sites found over 50% of 57 samples exceeded exposure limits, and improvements to controls are underway based on factors identified to contribute to high exposures such as work practices, engineering controls, and process design.
The document discusses biases associated with using PM10 and PM2.5 samplers to measure particulate matter concentrations. Specifically, it notes that sampler measurements are impacted by the interaction between particle size distributions in the air and sampler performance characteristics. Samplers cannot accurately measure virtual cut concentrations of particles below certain sizes, as some smaller particles may not be collected while some larger particles may be. This can lead to unequal regulation of industries emitting particles of different sizes but with the same measured concentrations. To achieve equal regulation, measurements would need to be based on actual particle sizes rather than sampler measurements.
This document summarizes a study that assessed health risks from occupational exposure to chemicals at a petrochemical industry complex in Iran. The study evaluated risks through a semi-quantitative analysis of 27 chemicals across four units. It also examined spirometry indices in employees. The results found that Raffinate in the Butadiene unit posed the highest risk. Spirometry measures like FVC and FEV1 were negatively correlated with age and work experience, indicating reduced pulmonary function in older and longer-tenured employees. Overall, 48.1% of chemicals posed low risk, 29.6% medium risk, 18.5% high risk, and 3.7% very high risk. The study concluded that variables like age
Kem Medical Response to OSHA RFI Docket No OSHA-2012-0023Doug Kruger
This document discusses chemical exposure risks in healthcare settings and provides suggestions to OSHA on improving chemical management. It notes that healthcare workers face risks from disinfectants, sterilants, anesthetic gases, and other chemicals. Better defining monitoring requirements and developing task-based or hazard-banding rules could help facilities improve compliance. Passive dosimeters that measure exposures throughout a shift are recommended for accurate exposure assessment.
This document summarizes in-vitro testing of various bypass heat and moisture exchangers (BHMEs) to evaluate their impact on aerosol delivery to ventilated patients. Two test methods were used: Andersen cascade impaction and laser diffraction. For both tests, the AirLife BHMEs showed comparable aerosol delivery to using no device, with a respirable fraction over 90%. The laser diffraction also showed the AirLife devices influenced aerosol less than the CircuVent HME and similarly to the Gibeck Humid-Flo. The conclusion is that the AirLife BHME has minimal risk of reducing aerosol delivery to ventilated patients.
Comparison of Package Analyzers for Total Package Oxygen - Alexandra PocockAlexandra Cameron
This study compared three Total Package Oxygen (TPO) analyzers (Instruments A, B, and C) by injecting canned beer with known amounts of air (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 μL) and measuring the TPO. All instruments showed equal precision at each injection amount according to ANOVA analysis. While all instruments were equally precise, instrument A was deemed easiest to operate. The study concluded the instruments were equally precise and pricing should be a key consideration in choosing a TPO analyzer.
The document discusses recommended exposure limits (RELs) and permissible exposure limits (PELs) established by NIOSH and OSHA for various substances such as aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, and lead. It notes health effects reported from exposure to these substances including lung fibrosis from aluminum, peripheral nerve damage and cancer from arsenic, irritation from barium and calcium, respiratory issues and cancer from beryllium, irritation and organ damage from cadmium, dermatitis and lung issues from chromium, respiratory and skin issues from cobalt, irritation from copper, and benign pneumoconiosis from iron.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

ACME Printing Corporation has had an active air-sampling program in
place for several years. Air
sampling was conducted to assess personal exposures to select
2. components of commonly used
chemicals associated with the printing process. An additional sample
was collected to assess ambient
concentrations of ozone. A total of five personal samples were collected
and analyzed for ink
components; one area sample was collected and analyzed for ozone.
Sampling was conducted in
accordance with established procedures with results being compared to
two relevant exposure limits.
Personal samples ranged from 14.8 - 59.0% of the calculated additive
Permissible Exposure Limit (i.e.,
n-propanol and n-propyl acetate combined). The results are in general
agreement with samples taken in
previous years. The area sample result for ozone was deemed
insignificant after it was determined that
the lamination process was non-operational the day of the study.
Recommendations are made to share
results with affected personnel, continue the annual sampling survey,
and conduct another ozone study. BACKGROUND
The printing industry uses a variety of inks, solvents, and adhesives that
have chemical constituents
deemed hazardous according to definitions established by the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Federal regulations require employers to
evaluate employee exposures to
select substances and assure that airborne concentrations do not exceed
eight-hour, time-weighted
averages known as Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs). Employee
exposures below PELs are not
expected to cause adverse health effects in a majority of a healthy
working population.
To evaluate exposures, ACME Printing has been conducting air
sampling on an annual basis for
several years. Previous year’s results have generally shown personal
sampling results at or below 50%
3. of the applicable PEL. Area samples in high traffic areas near production
units have shown levels
below PELs. Additional process-specific studies have also been
conducted and have shown localized
areas where ambient concentrations exceed the applicable PEL.
However, given the highly variable
nature of work activities, workers do not occupy these areas for enough
time to reach the PEL. Finally,
air-sampling surveys have been conducted that characterize short-
duration, potentially high-exposure
activities. These studies showed ambient vapor concentrations near the
associated OSHA short-term
exposure limit but concluded that the infrequent nature of the activity
and the “worst case” design used
for the study resulted in low worker exposure potential. CHEMICAL
HAZARDS & EXPOSURE POTENTIAL
A review of current chemical usage shows that inks and adhesives are
two of the most commonly used chemical
materials across the plant. A review of the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for
a typical ink and adhesive used shows
two primary ingredients: n-propyl alcohol (n-propanol) and n- propyl
acetate. A brief hazard review and
exposure assessment is as follows: Chemical Name CAS# Primary

Retrieved f http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg To evaluate exposure
potential, ACME Printing Corporation has been conducting air sampling
on an
annual basis for several years. Previous year’s results have generally
shown personal sampling results
at or below 50% of the applicable PEL. Several other exposure studies
have been conducted on a
process-specific basis and have also documented low worker exposure
potential. However, given the
variable nature of the business, ACME Printing Corporation has taken a
prudent approach of
documenting worker exposures on an annual basis. SAMPLING
STRATEGY
A sampling strategy was devised in consultation with the Plant Director.
In addition to the organic
constituents routinely included in past annual surveys, an area sample
was collected for ozone. Ozone
5. is a by-product of the lamination process and has been of interest to
plant personnel recently. The
following samples were collected for this year’s study:
Personal Sample – Josh, W&H 3 - n-propanol, n-propyl acetate
Personal Sample – Jake, W&H 2 - n-propanol, n-propyl acetate
Personal Sample – Percy, Vision - n-propanol, n-propyl acetate
Personal Sample – Mike, Pre-Press - n-propanol, n-propyl acetate
Personal Sample – Ronnie, W&H 3 – n-propanol, n-propyl acetate
Area Sample – Laminator Work Station - ozone SAMPLING
METHODOLOGY
A total of five personal air samples and one area sample were collected.
Air sampling was conducted
using a sampling pump and appropriate filter media provided by the
analytical lab contracted for the
project. Pumps were operated for as close to a full shift as possible with
a flow rate that ensured
collection of the necessary air volume stated in the analytical method
established by the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). All pumps were
pre- and post-calibrated to
ensure accurate airflow rates. Personal samples were placed in the
breathing zone of the employee with
the sampling cassette being attached to the lapel; the area sample was
placed in a location where
employees are expected to spend most their time. Sampling media was
sent for analysis to a laboratory
accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).
SAMPLING RESULTS
Attachment A contains Tables 1-6 that summarize the sampling results.
All personal monitoring results
were compared to the applicable PEL. For n-propyl alcohol and n-propyl
acetate, an additive formula
method was used. Since both materials have similar potential adverse
health effects (e.g., both affect
the central nervous system), it is acceptable to consider exposure to each
6. in an additive fashion (see
data tables for specific calculations).
Table 1 shows personal air sampling results for Josh, W&H 2. This
sample showed an ambient
concentration of n-propanol of 47.0 parts per million (ppm) and 14.0
ppm of n-propyl acetate. The
additive percentage of the PEL is 30.5%. Table 2 shows personal air
sampling results for Jake, W&H 2. This sample showed an ambient
concentration of n-propanol of 64.0 parts per million (ppm) and 26.0
ppm of n-propyl acetate. The
additive percentage of the PEL is 40.0%.
Table 3 shows personal air sampling results for Percy, Vision. This
sample showed an ambient
concentration of n-propanol of 23.0 parts per million (ppm) and 6.5 ppm
of n-propyl acetate. The
additive percentage of the PEL is 14.8%.
Table 4 shows personal air sampling results for Mike, Pre-Press. This
sample showed an ambient
concentration of n-propanol of 32.0 parts per million (ppm) and 10.0
ppm of n-propyl acetate. The
additive percentage of the PEL is 21.0%.
Table 5 shows personal air sampling results for Ronnie, W&H 3.
This sample showed an ambient
concentration of n-propanol of 91.0 parts per million (ppm) and 27.0
ppm of n-propyl acetate. The
additive percentage of the PEL is 59.0%.
Table 6 shows area sampling for the sample taken at the laminator work
station. This sample showed
an ambient concentration of ozone of <0.013 ppm which is 2.5% of
the PEL. DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
All personal samples are below their respective PELs and in general
agreement with the range of
personal exposures measured in previous years. Although ACME
Printing continues to be in
compliance with OSHA regulations, it is a best management practice to
7. keep employee exposures
below 50% of the relevant PEL. Accordingly, ACME Printing should
continue to conduct annual
sampling and periodically assess any trends associated with exposures
(i.e., are exposures regularly
exceeding 50% of the PEL). Recommendations are as follows:
1) Share sampling information with employees. ACME Printing has a
strong record of sharing
monitoring results with affected employees. Employees are well versed
in the meaning of
sampling and employee exposure results.
2) Continue the annual air-sampling program. Day to day operations can
change and may impact
exposure potential to employees. It is prudent to conduct regular air
sampling even though ACME
Printing is full compliance with OSHA regulations.
3) Conduct a separate study to evaluate ozone concentrations. It is
unfortunate that the
lamination unit did not end up running on the day of sampling. A
separate study should be
conducted to fully evaluate ambient ozone concentrations.
