The expected pollution levels for some notorious chemicals. Notice the EPA standard for NO2 is 1 microgram per cubic meter and the PCMS expectation is 2.092 micrograms per cubic meter, based on 1989 readings! There is no reason to believe that will be the case with the expansion of thousands more troops and vehicles there.

Air Pollution Levels That Could Cause Significant Harm to the Health of Persons (EPA):

Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
2620 micrograms/cubic meter (1.0 part per million), 24-hour average

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
3,750 micrograms/cubic meter (2.0 parts per million), 1-hour average

• 938 micrograms/cubic meter (0.5 part per million), 24-hour average
• (notice above, the PCMS "expectation" doesn't mention the 24 hour average, which on training days will be far past the 200% of the EPA standard when they average it out to a yearly total)

product of sulfur dioxide in micrograms/cubic meter, 24-hour average, and particulate matter in micrograms/cubic meter, 24-hour average, equal to 490 x 103 or product of sulfur dioxide in parts per million, 24-hour average and COHs, 24-hour average, equal to 1.5

Carbon monoxide
57.5 milligrams/cubic meter (50 parts per million), 8-hour average

• 86.3 milligrams/cubic meter (75 parts per million), 4-hour average
• 144 milligrams/cubic meter (125 parts per million), 1-hour average
