B.1.1 
The complete results of the Fablon Sticky Pad monitoring at all sites are presented here in 
Appendix B; this includes data from both on-site and off-site locations (total of 44 sites).  Ten on-
site sites which have been deemed not representative of sensitive receptors were removed from 
the report discussion; they are: Dust_12, Dust_13A, Dust_18, Dust_23, Dust_40, Dust_41, 
Dust_57, Dust_61, Dust_62 and Dust_63.  These sites are located along main haul roads or at 
locations with high construction activity proving unrepresentative of the surrounding environment.  
Date from these on-site locations can still be found in Appendix B and Appendix C.

Examination of in-week Soiling Events

November 2008 
 
 
C.1.1 
Table C.1 presents an examination of >5% EAC events by week and location for all 44 sites.  The most probable cause of soiling has been suggested 
from a review of site activity logs kept by both Tier 1 contractors.  On-site observations made by Tier 1 contractors were also available for the month of 
November, which provide a better understanding of the local environment.

Appendix D – 
Trends of Sticky Pad Analysis

November 2008 
 
D.1 
October - November Trends 
D.1.1 
The trend of dust monitoring in comparison with the previous month of October is summarised in 
Table D.1.  An increase is presented with a “+”, a decrease with a “-“ and an insignificant change 
of <0.1 %EAC from the previous month with a “0”.  Where no data are available, and a trend could 
hence not be established, the cell is left blank.  Traffic light colour coding was added to illustrate 
the trend with green representing a reduction of soiling, red representing an increase and amber 
representing no change.  Some of the sites were not comparable due to a lack of data on 
bearings for either month and are represented by “n/a”. 
D.1.2 
The overall trend from October to November on all bearing appears to have more decreases in 
%EAC observed.

Background Information on the Parameters 
Covered

link to page 30 November 2008 
 
E.1.1 
The November report summarises the monitoring results over the period 01/11/2008 to 
30/11/2008.  This appendix includes background information to the parameters covered, their 
guidelines, criteria, monitoring coverage and techniques used. 
Parameters 
E.1.2 
The parameters covered in the scope of the report are deposited dust and fine particulate matter 
with an effective aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 micrometers (PM10).  
E.1.3 
Data are expressed as percentage effective area coverage (%EAC) for dust and micrograms per 
cubic metre (µg/m3) for PM10. 
Suggested Guidelines for Dust 
E.1.4 
No statutory criteria for deposited dust or soiling are currently published in the United Kingdom.  
Although there are no statutory criteria, some guidance is provided in such publications as the UK 
Department of the Environment document “The Environmental Effects of Dust from Surface 
Mineral Workings” (1991) and more latterly the Environment Agency Guidance note M17 
“Monitoring of particulate matter in ambient air around waste facilities” (2004).  All publications 
suggest guidelines for dust monitoring as both deposition rates and soiling.  
E.1.5 
These publications suggest a guideline of 200 milligrams per square metre per day (mg/m2/d) for 
general dust deposition and a guideline for soiling or percentage of Effective Area Coverage per 
day (% EAC) of 0.2% as noticeable, 0.5% as a marginal nuisance, 2.0% as a probable nuisance 
and 5.0% as a severe nuisance. 
E.1.6 
Further background on sampling rationale, strategy and guidelines can be found in the 2007 
January to November Summary Report. 
 
Statutory and Advisory Criteria for Fine Particulate Matter 
E.1.7 
The Government’s Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (AQS1) 
provides details of national air quality standards and objectives for a number of local air pollutants, 
including PM10.  
E.1.8 
The air quality criteria for PM10 are detailed in Table E.1. 
 Table E.1 – Local Air Quality Criteria 
Pollutant Objective Compliance 
date 
PM10 
24-hour mean concentration should not exceed 50µg/m3 more 
31 December 2004 
than 35 times a year 
[1 January 2005] 
 
 
Annual mean concentration should not exceed 40µg/m3 
Notes: 
 [ ] denotes EU Limit Value compliance date in UK Regulations 
 
E.1.9 
Air quality objectives for PM10 are that the daily mean should not to exceed 50 µg/m3 more than 
35 days per year and the annual mean must not exceed 40 µg/m3.  Additionally, the London Best 
Practice Guidance for the Control of Dust and Emissions from Construction and Demolition (2006) 
suggest a site action limit of 250 µg/m3 over a 15 minute average.   This guideline has been 
adopted by the Tier 1 contractors.

Sampling Regime 
E.1.10 
The following techniques are in use or proposed for use on the site: 
• PM10 by optical scattering technique using OSIRIS analysers which give indicative real time 
PM10 data; 
• PM10 by beta-attenuation meter (BAM) which gives more robust 24-hour average 
concentrations; 
•  Fablon sticky pads, which give indicative data on soiling relative to wind direction; and 
•  Frisbee gauges, which give direct mass of deposition per unit area data. 
E.1.11 
Twenty-two sites were analysed for dust by MCL and 22 sites by BNL in November.  These 44 
monitoring locations were chosen on the basis of security and distance from the site and sensitive 
receptors.  Monitoring of dust at the 44 sites was undertaken using Fablon sticky pads.  Only 34 of 
these sites are fully discussed in the November report; the ten sites removed include sites which 
are located too close to haul roads or activity to be representative of the local environment.  
E.1.12 
Fablon is a proprietary self-adhesive material used in sheet form to collected coarse particulate 
material.  The “pads” are wrapped around an upright item of street furniture such as a signpost to 
ensure 360 degree coverage.  The relative degree of soiling at the desired bearing (generally 
north, south, east and west) is determined in the laboratory using a calibrated reflectance meter.   
E.1.13 
The dust data are collected weekly over a period of four weeks to include all of November.  The 
periods in the report are described by week numbers.  The north side managed by MCL and south 
side managed by BNL.  Week 1 starts on the 30/10/08; week 2 on the 06/11/08; week 3 on the 
13/11/08; and week 4 on the 20/11/08.  The last three days of November would be included in 
week 1 of next month’s December report 
E.1.14 
Monitoring of PM10 was undertaken using Osiris dust monitors, which are continuous analysers 
operating on the principle of measuring light scattering proportionate to particulate concentrations 
in various size fractions.  This method is the most practicable available to measure particulates in 
real time and the method performance by comparison with EU Reference Method equivalents is 
the subject of ongoing investigation.  
E.1.15 Real-time 
PM10 monitoring during November took place at the following locations:  
•  Gainsborough School outside the Olympic Park, opposite CZ5c, operated by MCL; 
•  Carpenters Road South in CZ1 operated by BNL;   
•  CZ4 Soil Wash near the soil washing unit operated by BNL;  
•  The Greenway in CZ3 operated by BNL and; 
•  Quartermile Lane in CZ7a operated by MCL. 
E.1.16 
MCL’s consultants have installed three additional analysers in Metronet land and construction 
zones 8A and 8C to provide additional geographical coverage around the Olympic Park & Village.  
E.1.17 
The dust and PM10 monitoring sites selected and their descriptions (and data coverage) are 
presented in Appendix A.  Site locations remained the same as those discussed in the previous 
month for all sites.  All of these locations can be found on the site map in the main report.

Appendix F –  
Atkins QA/QC Process 
 
xxxii
 

November 2008 
 
Quality Control and Quality Assurance 
F.1.1 
Quality Control (QC) is the term for the system of checks undertaken to ensure that the data 
produced by the Osiris analysers is of an appropriate standard and contains no material errors. 
Quality Assurance (QA) is the procedure by which the correct application of the QC system is 
confirmed. 
F.1.2 
This note does not cover the procedures for calibration and maintenance which are assumed to 
be as per manufacturer’s instructions. Routine checks on instrument functionality are preformed 
on a weekly basis; consumables are replaced and inlet flow adjusted on a quarterly basis. 
F.1.3 
The part of the QC process which Atkins undertakes is essentially the data validation (for Data 
Warehouse purposes) and ratification (for interpretation purposes).  
 
Validation 
F.1.4 
Validation in this context is the visual screening of a dataset for anomalies (paraphrased from 
Defra Local Air Quality Management Technical Guidance Note TG(03) Annex 1.70).  Suspicious 
data are flagged for future investigation and possible removal by the Tier 1 contractors. This 
prepares the data for uploading to the Data Warehouse. 
Data immediately flagged by the monthly Atkins validation process are:  
• Zero 
readings; 
 
•  Negative readings; and 
• PM10 values which are lower than PM2.5 or PM1.  
F.1.5 
The Osiris analysers generate no zero or calibration spikes – optical instruments are calibrated by 
surrogate electronic means. 
Data flagged as suspicious include:  
•  Spikes or sudden discrete peaks;  
•  Periods of abrupt change in concentration range;  
•  Periods of very low concentrations;  
•  24-hour periods with >10% (>10 x 15-minute values) data gaps. 
•  Data recorded within 30 minutes of the reactivation of an analyser  
Ratification  
F.1.6 
Traditionally ratification is undertaken on a quarterly or even less frequent basis, but in order to 
get the maximum value from the Olympic Park PM10 data, Atkins undertakes contextual ratification 
on a monthly basis in connection with the production of the monthly review reports. The procedure 
includes the examination of:  
•  site activities (and any recorded off-site incidents) which may cause “suspicious” episodes 
as described above;  
•  prevailing meteorological conditions;  
• site-wide 
PM10 performance from the whole Osiris network; and 
•  off-site LAQN analyser data (itself un-ratified if downloaded less than 3-6 months after 
monitoring data was generated).  
•  Removal of 24-hour means when less than 90% of the data points collected in any given 
day are missing 
 
xxxiii
 

November 2008 
 
F.1.7 
If, in the professional opinion of the reviewer and checker, suspicious data cannot be explained by 
the ratification process or other reasonable explanation, the data are removed from the monthly 
interpretation exercise.  Un-ratified and ratified datasets are both kept on record. 
Assurance  
F.1.8 
The above processes are undertaken by a qualified air quality specialist and checked by a senior 
member of staff. A Quality Statement indicating that this process has been followed will be 
included in reviews of data supplied for uploading into the central database.
