EXHIBIT A
Scope of Work:
Analysis of Phoenix Supersite VOC Concentrations
To better understand the sources of ozone-relevant hydrocarbons in Phoenix, a study of the
ambient VOCs collected at the Phoenix Supersite will be undertaken. Three specific tasks
have been identified and the motivation, approach and deliverables for each task is given
below.
Task 1: Multivariate Analysis of VOC Concentrations. Multivariate source apportionment
(also called matrix isolation) uses statistical correlations within the ambient data sets to
separate the observed concentration of species into a source profile matrix and a separate
source factor matrix (i.e. the multiple variables). This allows an initial analysis of urban air
quality without a-priori identification of sources or collection of expected composition from each
source. The source profile matrix details which VOCs trend with each other (i.e. originate from
a common source) while the source factor matrix describes the relative contribution of each
isolated source profile to the ambient observed pollutant levels. By interpretation of the source
profile and comparison to known compositions from specific source categories, each factor can
be attributed to a source. Then, a linear regression between the source factors and observed
VOC levels can covert the source factor into source strengths which indicate the contribution of
each source factor to ambient levels. We will use Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF), which
further assumes all factors have non-negative contributions to ambient pollution levels, to
perform the source apportionment. The PMF model will be optimized for the Phoenix ambient
data set based on the number of species measured, the number of data observations as well
as for the number of source profiles required to fully separate the profile matrix from the factor
matrix. Model performance will be judged based on minimizing the residual between the
observed pollutant matrix and the modeled concentrations. Once the model is optimized and
the linear regression performed, we will correlate high VOC source factors where a single
source contributes greater than 75% of observed VOC concentrations with local
meteorological conditions (e.g. wind direction, wind speed, temperature) to identify potential
source hot spots. The deliverables for this task will be a set of interpreted source profiles, the
relative strength of each source profile to the ambient pollutant burden, and interpretation of
the high observed VOC concentrations with meteorological parameters.
Task 2: Univariate Analysis of VOC Concentration. While multivariate analysis allows
analysis of the VOC dataset without prior assignment of the expected sources, the linear
regression required to convert source factors to ambient burdens can introduce uncertainty
into the analysis. To minimize uncertainty in the assignment of contributions to known likely
sources, we will also perform univariate source apportionment of the Phoenix Supersite VOC
dataset. This univariate modeling will use literature and regulatory speciation data of VOC
sources, including EPA's Speciate Database, for each likely source contributing to the VOC
levels measured in Phoenix. The list of likely sources will be taken from existing VOC
inventories as well as from the initial Multivariate Analysis task. Then, the ambient data will be
modeled using the Chemical Mass Balancing (CMB) model to determine the best estimate of
the absolute contribution of each source to the ambient pollution concentration. The CMB
- 7 -

model will be optimized for the Phoenix ambient data set based on the number of species
measured, the relative uncertainty in each measured species concentration, and how missing
or below detection concentrations are treated in the modeling approach. Model performance
will be judged based on minimizing the residual between the observed pollutant matrix and the
modeled concentrations. Once the model is optimized and the linear regression performed, we
will correlate high VOC observations (both 75th and 90th percentile) with local meteorological
conditions (e.g. wind direction, wind speed, temperature) to identify potential source hot spots.
Once the model is optimized, we will correlate high VOC source factors where a single source
contributes greater than 75% of observed VOC concentrations with local meteorological
conditions (e.g. wind direction, wind speed, temperature) to identify potential source hot spots.
The deliverables for this task will be the absolute strength of each source category to the
ambient pollutant burden and interpretation of the high observed VOC concentrations with
meteorological parameters.
Task 3: Comparison of Top-Down Source Attribution with Existing VOC Inventories.
The advantage of a top-down approach to determine VOC sources (i.e. using ambient data to
identify sources) is that it provides an independent corroboration of the bottoms-up inventories
used for predictive air quality models. To validate the existing VOC inventory for Phoenix, or to
identify possible source categories that are not well-modeled by the existing bottom-up
inventory approach, the relative contribution to ambient VOC levels predicted by the existing
inventory will be compared to the results of the CMB and PMF source attribution results. In
addition, a comparison of the representativeness of the Phoenix Supersite location compared
to the greater Phoenix area will be done to see which emission sources are over-represented
or under-represented in the local vicinity of the sampling location. Further, the suite of VOCs
measured at the Supersite will be compared to the compounds measured in other urban areas
to identify if expansion of the sampling suite would add value to source-receptor reconciliation
approaches. The deliverables for this task will be a comprehensive scientific report outlining
the details of the comparison as well as a short policy-relevant summary document not to
exceed 2 pages.
