Carbon monoxide

For the purposes of this table, the maximum daily 8-hour mean concentration shall be selected by examining 8-hour running averages, calculated from hourly data and updated each hour. Each 8 hour average so calculated shall be assigned to the day on which it ends, i.e. the first calculation period for any one day shall be the period from 17:00 on the previous day to 01:00 on that day; the last calculation period for any one day shall be the period from 16:00 to 24:00 on that day.

PART 3Target values for Group B pollutants

1.  The target values in the table at paragraph 2 in each case relate to the total content of the relevant pollutant in the PM10 fraction averaged over one calendar year.

2.  The attainment date for each of these target values is 31st December 2012.

PollutantTarget value
Arsenic6 ng/m3
Benzo(a)pyrene1 ng/m3
Cadmium5 ng/m3
Nickel20 ng/m3

PART 4Target values and long-term objectives for ozone

3.  In this Part–

(a)all values shall be expressed in μg/m3;

(b)the volume shall be standardised at the following conditions of temperature and pressure: 293K and 101.3kPa;

(c)the time shall be specified in Central European Time;

(d)“AOT40” (expressed in (μg/m3).hours) means the sum of the difference between hourly concentrations greater than 80 μg/m3 (which equals 40 parts per billion) and 80 μg/m3 over a given period using only the 1 hour values measured between 08:00 and 20:00 Central European Time each day; and

(e)in order to be valid, the annual data on exceedances used to check compliance with the target values and long-term objectives below must meet the criteria set out in Part 2 of Schedule 12.

Target values

The attainment date for the target values set out in the following table is 2010, with compliance assessed over the periods indicated for each target value in the table.

ParameterTarget value and assessment for 2010(1)
(1)

Compliance with target values will be assessed as of this value. That is, 2010 will be the first year the data for which is used in calculating compliance over three or five years, as appropriate.

(2)

The maximum daily 8-hour mean concentration shall be selected by examining 8-hour running averages, calculated from hourly data and updated each hour. Each 8-hour average so calculated shall be assigned to the day on which it ends, that is, the first calculation period for any one day shall be the period from 17:00 on the previous day to 01:00 on that day; the last calculation period for any one day will be the period from 16:00 to 24:00 on the day.

(3)

If the three or five year averages cannot be determined on the basis of a full and consecutive set of annual data, the minimum annual data required for checking compliance with the target values shall be as follows: (i) for the target value for the protection of human health, valid data for one year; and (ii) for the target value for the protection of vegetation, valid data for three years.

Target value for the protection of human healthMaximum daily 8-hour mean(2)120 μg/m3 not to be exceeded on more than 25 days per calendar year averaged over three years(3)

Mae deddfwriaeth ar gael mewn fersiynau gwahanol:

Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.

Gwreiddiol (Fel y’i Deddfwyd neu y’i Gwnaed): Mae'r wreiddiol fersiwn y ddeddfwriaeth fel ag yr oedd pan gafodd ei deddfu neu eu gwneud. Ni wnaed unrhyw newidiadau i’r testun.

Nodyn Gweithredol

Mae Nodyn Gweithredol yn nodi datganiad byr o ddiben Offeryn Statudol yr Alban ac yn rhoi gwybodaeth am ei amcan polisi a goblygiadau polisi. Ei nod yw gwneud yr Offeryn Statudol yr Alban yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol ac maent yn cyd-fynd ag unrhyw Offeryn Statudol yr Alban neu Offeryn Statudol Drafft yr Alban a gyflwynwyd yn fanwl gerbron Senedd yr Alban o Orffennaf 2005 ymlaen.
