The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) stipulate that tropospheric ozone non-attainment areas with serious or higher classification must implement a network of Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) to quantify and speciate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) considered to be one of the prime precursors of tropospheric or ground-level ozone. Data that will be gathered will include ozone, nitrogen oxides, VOCs, carbonyls, and meteorological parameters. This paper describes the approach used by the NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) to implement this monitoring program.
