Description
The goal of the proposed research is to develop an open-source reference instrument and methodology for operation, validation, and QA/QC of open-path optical remote sensing (OP-ORS) monitoring of volatile organic compounds and other air toxics. Activities: the proposed project will: 1) design and build a portable open-path reference instrument for accurate detection and quantification of several air toxics; 2) validate the reference OP-ORS system with other analytical methods; 3) deploy the reference system in parallel with a current state-of-the-art OP-ORS system at a local refinery in the LOS angeles air basin to develop and test validation protocols; and 4) develop guidance for best practices for operation, QA/QC, and field validation for OP-ORS observations. Outcomes: the anticipated deliverables are annual progress and final reports. The expected outcomes include the demonstration of a portable OP-ORS system for accurate quantification of several air toxics, and the establishment of OP-ORS as a reliable and trusted tool to monitor air toxic releases from industrial facilities and for community air quality monitoring of these compounds. The intended beneficiaries are the scientific community and communities affected by air toxic pollution. Subrecipient: subawardee south coast air quality management district will collaborate with the recipient, university of california LOS angles (ucla), to: 1) develop the quality assurance project plan for the optical remote sensing (ORS) system that will be designed by ucla; 2) contribute to the experimental design and execution of the ORS system controlled-release validation experiment; 3) the CO-location of the ORS system at a refinery in southern california; and 4) write guidance documents for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and validation of ORS systems.
