Story Behind the Curve
In order for ambient air quality data to be use to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS, it must achieve at least 75% data capture rate (i.e. Quality assured data is to be collected per the frequency indicated in the table no less than 75% of the time).
Data capture rate is determined for each individual monitor, as shown in the table. The average data capture rate of all pollutant monitors is used as an indicator.
