2 April 7: QA Systems, EPA definitions, PQAOs and common sense Mike Papp April 14: Routine Quality Control and Data Management (1-pt QC, flow rate, and instrument stability checks) Travis Maki April 21: Audits Overview (NPAP, PEP, Annual PE, Flow Rate Audits) Jeremy Howe April 28: Calculating Bias and Precision and AQS reports Bill Frietsche May 5: 40 CFR 58 App. A- Gaseous Pollutants Glenn Gehring May 12: 40 CFR 58 App. A- Ozone Brenda Jarrell May 19: 40 CFR 58 App. A- PM filter and continuous methods Brandy Toft 2
3 the difference between your answer and the truth th Two components of total error (accuracy): Bias (jump) Precision (wiggle) 3
4 Some imprecision is unavoidable Sometimes up, sometimes down random Difference divided by best estimate of the truth truth is: For gas QC checks: known conc. For PM flow rate: audit (known) FR For PM2.5 collocated: their average 4
5 d i = the difference between a known value and Repeated measurement of the same thing your value (flow rate, conc., voltage, that should remain the Sequence of check k(date, time, same) check number) 5
6 Pairs of simultaneous measurements (collocated instruments) d i (difference between collocated values) date 6
7 Can be sudden or due to slow drift over time: d i = the difference between the true value (audit value) and the analyzer date 7
8 Includes both bias and precision At any one time, an audit value could be close to the analyzer value due to precision errors in both Or, audit value could be far from analyzer value due to precision errors adding Audits estimate Accuracy EPA uses audit results to verify that ongoing QC checks do represent total error 8
9 Auditor s see only one day, while your QC checks see overall big picture 9
10 1-pt QC checks no longer called precision checks, because the results are used (by YOU) to calculate both precision and to estimate total error Each check <= 7% is the CRITICAL criteria for each set of data since last passing check The audits basically verify your precision and bias that have been calculated all along from your QC checks (concentration and flow rate, for PM) 10
11 Method Pollutants Frequency MQO One-Point QC SO 2, NO 2, Every 2 O 3 : SO 2, NO 2, CO : O 3, CO Weeks Precision = Precision = 7% 10% Flow Rate Verification (QC check) Flow Rate Verification (QC check) Collocated Sampling PM 10 (lo- Vol) PM 2.5 PM 10 (high- Vol), TSP PM 10, TSP, PM 2.5 Once every 4 weeks Once per quarter 15% of Network Every 12 Days <= 4% of Standard <= 7% of Standard Precision CV= 10% (which means RPD =14%) *and total error, more on this later. 11
12 Estimates your overall system uncertainty, if you were perfectly calibrated Changes over time can point to operator error, lab error, poorly written procedures, equipment/standards going bad Changes can be fixed sooner rather than at audit EPA compares precision by site and agency 12
13 Useful to track precision (or bias) over time d i See this example (and you fill in your values) at: Another example in the DASC tool: 13
14 The DASC tool automatically writes your values from the columns into the chart: Measured value is your analyzer Audit value is the known d i You may want tto add dddates to the x-axis, or use my example if you want to set up control charts 14 in your program
15 In their annual QA reports, from your RP transactions in AQS: html d i 15
16 Recommendations in redbook say: Critical criteria invalidate every hour that is not met Operational criteria i means something probably wrong, go check it Systematic criteria mean as a set (day? year?) data is not usable for NAAQS, but individual hours or more may be valid 16
17 (NO2 and SO2 are the same) 17
18 Method Pollutants t Frequenc MQO y Flow Rate PM 10 (lo- Once <= 4% of Standard Verification (QC check) Vol), PM 2.5 every 4 weeks Flow Rate PM 10 (high- Once per <= 7% of Standard Verification (QC check) Vol), TSP quarter 18
19 Method Pollutants t Frequency MQO Collocated Sampling PM 10, TSP, PM % of Network Every 12 Days Precision as CV < = 10% (meaning the relative percent diff must be less than 14% for conc > 3 ug/m3) X i Y i d i 100 ( X i Y i ) 2 19
20 Keep the bias component minimized by calibrating and verifying your equipment against a standard d Keep precision component low by consistency You can work to keep bias down, while precision is often out of your control below a certain limit EPA calculates from your RA transactions meas audit d 100 i audit 20
21 Method Pollutants Frequency MQO Annual Performance Evaluation (Audit) SO 2, NO 2, O 3, Once per <= 15% for each audit CO Year concentration OPERATIONAL Semi-Annual Flow PM 10, PM 2.5 Every 6 <= 4% of Standard Rate Audit Months OPERATIONAL Semi-Annual Flow Rate Audit PM 10 (high- Vol), TSP Every 6 Months <= 10% of Standard OPERATIONAL PM 2.5 PEP Program NPAP PM 2.5 SO 2, NO 2, O 3, CO Quarter Year (see QA Requireme nts.xls) Bias = 10% -- OPERATIONAL 21
