Executive Summary
This report describes the results from the PM10  and deposited dust monitoring in and around the Olympic
Park site for December 2008.
December monitoring results confirm that short and long term statutory criteria are currently (or are likely to
be) met at all off-site locations, most representative of public exposure.
During December, there were no exceedances of the 24-hour mean PM10 criterion of 50 µg/m3 recorded by
any of the particulate analysers. There was one exceedance nearby on the 30th of December, at Ruckholt
Close; a TEOM-FDMS site operated on behalf of the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
During December there were no 24-hour mean exceedance observed at the CZ4 Soil Wash (Tower
Hamlets) on-site analyser. The number of 24-hour mean exceedances at the on-site analyser at the CZ4
Soil Wash was already exceeding the statutory maximum allowable of 35 per year, but it should be noted
that the sampling point is on-site, located close to a haul road and at some distance from any points of
relevant exposure such as residential properties.  As such, results from this site represent an over-estimate
of the exposure at the nearest receptors.
A single one-off exceedances of the 15-minute PM10 site action limit was recorded at the Marshgate Lane
(Newham) site (CZ8a). The breach observed at the Marshgate Lane site appeared not to be related to
activities at the Olympic Park. There were no exceedances at any of the other off-site analysers during
December; including key sensitive receptor locations Gainsborough School (Hackney); Quartermile Lane
(Hackney); the Greenway (Newham); and Ruckholt Close (Waltham Forest). There were also no
exceedances of the 15-minute PM10 criterion at any of the on-site analysers.
Soiling levels in excess of 5% coverage were not recorded by any of the off- and on-site locations.  In
addition, sites that had in the past recorded soiling levels over 5% recorded lower levels during December.
December monitoring results show an overall reduction in exceedances as well as rates of dust deposition,
suggesting that dust abatement measures continue to have the desired effect and that wintry conditions are
helping to dampen stockpiles and reduce dust. However, it should be borne in mind that activities ceased for
the Christmas shutdown from Friday 19th December for the remainder of the calendar month. During
December, data capture was below 75% for two Olympic Park Osiris sites; Marshgate Lane had 71%
capture and Metronet had 68% capture; the other six sites had data capture of over 75%.

1. Introduction
1.1
As part of the monthly reporting requirement, Atkins has prepared the December 2008 summary
report for dust and PM10 data collected by the Tier 1 contractors (Morrison Construction Limited -
MCL and BAM Nuttall Limited - BNL) and their consultants at the Olympic Park site. The report is
in accordance with section 5.5, Reporting Requirements, of the Olympic Park Dust Monitoring
Scheme (REP-ATK-TE-ZZZ-XXX-ZZZ-E-0002).
1.2
The report presents the December PM10 and dust results. The dust and PM10 monitoring sites
selected, their descriptions, operators (BNL/MCL), locations and data coverage are presented in
Appendix A. All of these locations can be found on the site map in Section 2.
1.3
Appendix B of the report includes background information to the parameters covered, their
guidelines, criteria, monitoring coverage and techniques used.
1.4
Data from eight Osiris locations monitoring real-time PM10 during December are presented and
discussed in this report. Data from a total of 20 Fablon Sticky Pad monitoring sites located off-site
are also presented and discussed. Further results from on-site Fablon Sticky Pad locations are
presented in Appendix C.

3.  Results and Discussion
Meteorology
3.1
The meteorological station co-located with the Osiris analyser known as PM10_06 (CZ4 Soil
Wash) has been providing meteorological data since April 2008. Wind speed and direction data
were collected for most of the month of December at the PM10_06 site.  Data were missing from
05/12/08 at 13:45 to 12/12/08 at 10:30 due to loss of power to Osiris analyser when the mobile
generator was removed. The analyser was connected to mains supply on Friday 12/12/08.
Meteorological information from the London Air network site at Dawlish Road was used where
data was missing from the PM10_06 site.
3.2
The PM10_06 wind rose for December is illustrated in Figure 3.1.

3.3
The windrose gives a good indication of the prevailing wind direction during the month of
December, which is predominantly blowing from the east north-easterly direction as well as from
the west south-westerly direction. The latter is in line with the predominant wind direction for
southeast England which is known to be south-westerly.
3.4
Data from the on-site meteorological station is routinely compared with data from the London Air
network Dawlish Road site, which also monitors wind speed and direction. The wind rose in
Appendix D shows a similar wind direction to that observed at the PM10_06 meteorological
station, with slightly more prevalent north-easterly winds recorded at the Dawlish Road site during
December.

3.5
Soiling levels may differ by orders of magnitude depending on location from source and also
according to the weather.  Heavy rainfall dampens down open loads and dusty surfaces around
the site, thus reducing rates of dust generation. Prolonged sunshine evaporates moisture and
increases substrate friability and hence higher rates of dust/ PM10 particle formation.
3.6
The Met Office1 UK overview for the month of December 2008 is as follows:
Mean temperatures were above average for England. The provisional mean value for the
month is 3.1 °C, which is 0.7 °C below the 1961-1990 average.  The provisional rainfall total
for the month is 87.4 mm, which is 75% of the 1961-1990 average.  It was mostly mild at first,
but turning much colder later with sharp frost. Rainfall and sunshine close to average.
PM10 Results
3.7
Data from the eight Osiris analysers are presented, compared to PM10 criteria and discussed in
this section. Data from each site are presented in summary form including:
1)  An in-month site discussion;
2)  A summary table of the monthly and annual (or period, where less than a calendar year’s
worth of data currently is recorded) means and the number of 24 hourly mean exceedances of
50 µg/m3 compared with local networked analysers.  It should be noted that there are no
monthly criteria for PM10 and that these are only presented for comparison with previous
months and other sites;
3)  A figure presenting both the 24 hourly mean and 15 minute exceedances throughout the
month;
4)  A table of the 15-minute mean exceedances, conditions at the time and action taken (if any);
and
5)  A table of the daily mean exceedances summary for the site, if any.
Osiris data are printed in italics if below 75% capture.
3.8
The sites presented are:
•
Gainsborough School, Hackney; located 100 metres from the Olympic Park CZ5c boundary;
•
Greenway, Newham; located outside the Olympic Park opposite CZ3 located 40 metres from
new relevant receptors, operated by BNL;
•
Quartermile Lane, Hackney; in CZ7a but also located next to a site with relevant exposure
(traveller’s site), operated by MCL;
•
On-site CZ1, Carpenters Road South, Newham; located 60 metres west of the nearest
relevant receptor, operated by BNL;
•
On-site CZ4 Soil Wash, Tower Hamlets; near the soil washing facilities, located 60 metres
north-east from the nearest relevant receptor, operated by BNL;
•
Metronet, Waltham Forest; off-site location for short-term boundary monitoring, located within
10 metres from the nearest receptor;
•
Marshgate Lane, Newham (previously located within CZ8a); short-term boundary monitoring
located ten metres from the nearest receptor; and
•
On-site, CZ8C, Newham, short-term boundary monitoring, located 80 metres from the
nearest receptor.

3.9
Table 3.1 summarises the 24 hour mean exceedances at each site in December.  The table
includes the London Network sites at Ruckholt Close, Dawlish Close and Cam Road for
comparison. These data are contemporary and subject to later ratification.
3.10
It should be noted that high ambient PM10 concentrations are commonly expected in late
December due in part to firework activity.  This is likely to be the cause of higher concentrations
measured by the analysers, leading to an exceedance of the 24 hour mean at Ruckholt Road, a
London Air monitoring site.

3.11
Data from the MetOne Beta Attenuation Meter located at the Quartermile Lane monitoring station
is being collected but not yet being used to apply a correction factor to any site Osiris data. A
number of issues are awaiting resolution including:
•
The collection of a suitable large data set to determine long term performance
differences between the two types of analyser
•
An investigation into the suitability of applying a correction factor from one analyser
across the whole Olympic Park monitoring regime
•
Confirmation that the BAM is performing to manufacturer's specifications (due in
January 2009)
•
An adjustment of the Quartermile Lane Osiris' position to ensure that no systematic
errors are being introduced as a result of the two analyser's spatial separation (due
in January 2009).
Gainsborough School, Hackney
3.12
The Gainsborough School (PM10_002) December data included no exceedances of the daily
mean and no breaches of the 15 minute action limit.
3.13
The site had been collecting data since the 6th of July 2007, albeit with a break for maintenance. It
is the longest running analyser at the Olympic Site with a robust annual mean directly comparable
to the Air Quality Objectives.
3.14
Gainsborough School results show that the annual mean concentration is not exceeding the
annual mean objective of 40 µg/m3 and is comparable to the local networked analysers.
Gainsborough School has completed over a year of monitoring, and the annual mean refers to a
rolling 12 monthly average. With 90% coverage, and with an annual mean of 27.7 µg/m3, the
annual mean was below the objective during the last year of monitoring.

Greenway, Newham
3.15
The Greenway (PM10_008) December data includes no exceedances of the 15-minute action limit
and no exceedances of the daily mean. Relatively low concentrations have been consistently
observed at this off-site location. The commissioning of new properties adjacent to the Greenway
to the south west of the monitoring position ensures the site’s relevance to human exposure.
3.16
The Greenway analyser began collecting data on the 1st of December 2007, albeit with a month
break due to a power cut and during site repositioning on the 10th of July 2008. The new location
was 40 metres east of its original position, and for annual mean purposes has been considered
the same site. A full year set of data is therefore available and results are now directly
comparable to Air Quality Objectives.
3.17
The Greenway analyser annual mean refers to a rolling 12 monthly average. With 75% coverage
and with an annual mean concentration of 21.5 µg/m3, this was well below the objective during the
last year of monitoring.

CZ4 Soil Wash, Tower Hamlets (on-site)
3.24
The CZ4 Soil Wash, Tower Hamlets (PM10_006) December data had no breaches of the 15-
minute action limit and no exceedances of the daily mean.
3.25
The site has been collecting data since the 11th of January 2008; hence a full year set of data is
not quite yet available. Whilst results are therefore not yet directly comparable to Air Quality
Objectives, they provide an indication of the likelihood of compliance.
3.26
The period mean concentration is likely to meet the annual mean objective as it is currently below
the objective and is generally reducing with better mitigation in place and wetter conditions.
However, the number of daily exceedances has already exceeded the objective of 35 days. It
should also be noted that the analyser is located on site, close to the main haul road through the
site, and is not representative of relevant receptors to which the Objectives apply.
3.27
Soil washing operations in CZ5b ceased on the 19th of December 2008 and no material has been
put through the system.  Nevertheless, daily mean concentrations, as in other sites, appear
highest during the 30th of December.

Boundary Monitoring – Marshgate Lane, Newham (CZ8a)
3.32
The Marshgate Lane (PM10_010) December data included one exceedances of the 15-minute
action limit on Monday 22nd December and no exceedances of the daily mean objective. There
was a westerly wind direction during the 15-minute exceedance period. The exceedance is not
related to the Olympics park activities since no activity was taking place within the Olympics Park
due to the Christmas break. Loss of power to the analyser resulted in a ten day data gap in
December resulting in less than 75 percent data capture.
3.33
The analyser is part of the supplementary Boundary Monitoring regime. It was located on the Bow
Back River boundary wall, south east of CZ8a and had been collecting data since the 13th of
August 2008. The analyser was removed at the beginning of November due to works affecting
the hoarding to which it was attached. The analyser was relocated off-site to the nearest dwelling
to the Olympic Park bound
th
ary on the 17  of November and has subsequently been referred to as
Marshgate Lane.
3.34
The overall data set for this site is insufficiently large to directly compare with Air Quality
Objectives.

Dust Results
3.38
This section discusses results of monitoring at off-site and boundary locations.  The dust data are
collected weekly over a period of five weeks to include all of December (see Appendix E for week
periods). A full treatment of the results is given in Appendix C. Only locations which exceeded
the 5% relative soiling (Effective Area Coverage) criterion are generally discussed in detail;
however, during December, all sites, including on-site locations, had soiling levels below the 5%
coverage.

3.39
Table 3.11 below summarises the weeks when exceedances of the suggested guideline
thresholds were observed, as well as the relevant directional bearing for all off-site and boundary
sites.

3.40
The bearing of the maximum %EAC can assist in determining the dust source.  The wind direction
in month was predominantly from the south west (see Figure 3.1) which also helps in assessing
the dust source.

3.41
Appendix F usually presents an examination of >5% EAC events by week and location, but no
sites exceeded the 5% threshold during December. The “traffic light” matrix in Appendix G
provides an in-month snapshot of relative soiling at off-site and boundary locations. The higher
number of decreases observed in the maximum concentration is consistent with the number of
green entries, indicating a decrease in soiling as it appears more often throughout the matrix than
the red colour. Arguably the overall trend observed is that of a slight decrease in soiling.

4. Conclusions

4.1 PM10 data were available for periods of between three month to over one year. Gainsborough
School and Greenway have both collected over a year’s worth of data. Data from both sites show
compliance with both the annual mean and the number of daily exceedances permitted.  Other
sites ha
y
ve  et to co
lete a full year of
mp
monitoring and are therefore not directly comparable with
long-term Air Quality  bje
O
ctives, which are applied on an annual basis.  The on-site analyser at
the CZ4 Soil Wash (Tower Hamlets) has recorded a gradual decrease in PM10 concentrations due
to dust control measures and favourable weather conditions. The annual mean is now likely to be
less than the annual mean PM10 criterion if results remain similar to the past couple of months.
The Quartermile Lane, Carpenters Road, and the three boundary “health monitoring” sites also
appear likely to mee
is a
t th
nnual mean PM10 criterion.
4.2
Data from on-site analysers strongly suggests that maximum permitted number of 35
exceedances of the 24 hour mean concentration for PM10 criterion may not be met at one or more
of the sites. The nu
r
mbe  of daily exceedances permitted in a year had already been exceeded at
the CZ4  o
S il W

ash on-site location with 39 exceedances so far. Boundary monitoring at CZ8a
and CZ8c has colle
d around fou
cte
r months worth of data, but if considered pro rata, the number
of days above 50 µg/m3 permitted is likely to be exceeded at CZ8a. However, this analyser has
been relocated in November to an off-site location more representative of human exposure
(Marshgate Lane) and appears to have since recorded reduced concentrations.  The previous
location of the
-site a
on
nalyser at Carpenters Road (Newham) also recorded over 35 daily
exceedances permitted, but has since been relocated closer to the boundary and recorded
reduced concentrations.   Finally, the Quartermile Lane analyser, also located on-site but close to
receptors, is recording concentrations below the annual objective which is expected to be met,
once a full year’s worth of data is collected.
4.3
None of the on- or off-site analysers recorded any exceedance of the 24-hour PM10 criterion
during December.
4.4
A one-off breach of the 15 minute site action level was recorded at Marshgate Lane on
Wednesday, the 22nd of December at 12:30 PM. The exceedance is not thought to be related to
the Olympic park since no activity was taking place due to the Christmas break.
4.5 The
PM10 data at the Olympic Park Osiris sites appear to generally follow the trends of the local
analysers. Concentration
ene
s have g
rally decreased in month, as expected with the wet and cold
winter conditions but also suggesting that dust abatement measures are having the desired effect,
though the site was inac
e for eleven d
tiv
ays in December.
4.6
Soiling
s
rate did not exceeded the >5% EAC criterion in any of the weeks. A reduction in soiling
was observed in co
ari
mp
on to the pre
s
vious month of November. The wind direction in month as
recorded on-site was predominantly west south-westerly.
4.7
The trends in relative soiling observed from November to December, as with previous trends, do
not follow an obvious
ttern. Thi
pa
s is to be expected given the nature of the measurement
technique. The overall trend in %EAC from November to December on each bearing has shown
more decrea

B.1.1
The December report summarises the monitoring results over the period 01/10/2008 to
31/10/2008. This appendix includes background information to the parameters covered, their
guidelines, criteria, monitoring coverage and techniques used.
Parameters
B.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 micrometres (PM10).
B.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
B.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.
B.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.
B.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
B.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.
B.1.8
The air quality criteria for PM10 are detailed in Table B.1.
Table B.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

B.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.

December 2008

Sampling Regime
B.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.
B.1.11
22 sites were analysed for dust by MCL and 22 sites by BNL in December. 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 December report; the ten sites removed include sites which are located
to close to haul roads or activity to be representative of the local environment.
B.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.
B.1.13
The dust data are collected weekly over a period of five weeks to include all of December. The
periods in the report are described by week numbers. The north section managed by MCL and
south section managed by BNL both correspond to slightly different days in the week. MCL had
started collecting measurements on a Thursday, so that Week 1 for MCL commences on the
27/11/2008 and week 2 for MCL on the 04/12/08 and so forth. BNL had started collecting
measurements on a Wednesday, so that Week 1 for BNL commences one day before MCL’s
week, on the 26/11/08 and week 2 on the 03/12/08. This inconsistency has been synchronised so
that both contractors start their monitoring on the same day from next month on.
B.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.
B.1.15
Eight locations were selected for real-time PM10 monitoring during December, namely:
•  Gainsborough School, Hackney, outside the Olympic Park, opposite CZ5c, operated by MCL;
•  On-site, Carpenters Road South, Newham in CZ1 operated by BNL;
•  On-site, CZ4 Soil Wash, Tower Hamlets near the soil washing unit operated by BNL;
•  The Greenway, Newham, in CZ3 operated by BNL;
•  Quartermile Lane, Hackney, in CZ7a operated by MCL;
•  Metronet, Waltham Forest operate by MCL;
•  Marshgate Lane, Newham just off site from construction zone 8a operated by MCL; and

x

December 2008

• On-site, 8C, Newham within construction zone 8C and operated by MCL.
B.1.16
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 Section 2 of the main
report.

C.1.1
The complete results of the Fablon Sticky Pad monitoring at all sites are presented here in
Appendix C; this includes data from both on-site and off-site locations (total of 43 sites). Ten on-
site locations which have been deemed not representative of sensitive receptors were removed
from the report discussion. These are: Dust_12 (already decommissioned on the 30/10/08),
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. Data from these on-site locations can
still be found in Appendix C and D.

E.1.1
Dust monitoring was undertaken over a period of 5 weeks with result data collected approximately
every week.  The periods in the report are described using week numbers. The north side
managed by MCL and south side managed by BNL both correspond to different weeks. The BNL
monitoring in the fourth week was put up on 17/12/08 and then the sticky was changed only on
07/01/09 due to Christmas break. Table E.1 correlates each data week to a week number referred
to often in the report.

G.1.1
The trend of dust monitoring in comparison with the previous month of November is summarised
in Table G.1 for all off-site and boundary locations. 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”.
G.1.2
The overall trend from November to December on all bearing appears to have more decreases in
%EAC observed.

Appendix H –
Atkins QA/QC Process

December 2008

Quality Control and Quality Assurance
H.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.
H.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.
H.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
H.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.
H.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;
•  Readings taken 30 minutes after reactivation of an analyser.
Ratification
H.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;
•  off-site LAQN analyser data (itself un-ratified if downloaded less than 3-6 months after
monitoring data was generated); and
•  removal of 24-hour means when less than 90% of the data points collected in any given
day are missing.

H.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
H.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 Atkins monthly reports.

I.1.1
One-hour average Osiris data is presented in Appendix I for the most sensitive receptor representative Olympic Park Osiris Analysers;
Gainsborough School, Greenway and Quartermile Lane alongside the nearest London-Networks sites; Cam Road in the south and Ruckholt
Close in the North. The PM10 data at the Olympic Park Osiris sites appear to generally follow the trends of the local analyser sites.
