Sulphur dioxide (SO2)30 µg/m3Annual average (arithmetic mean)
100 µg/m395 % of half-hour means for one year ≤ 100 µg/m3
100 µg/m324-hour mean; must not be exceeded more than once per year
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)30 µg/m3Annual average (arithmetic mean)
100 µg/m395 % of half-hour means for one year ≤ 100 µg/m3

Lead (Pb) in PM10500 ng /m3Annual average (arithmetic mean)
Cadmium (Cd) in PM101.5 ng/m3Annual average (arithmetic mean)
Total dust deposition200 mg/m2× dayAnnual average (arithmetic mean)
Lead (Pb) in dust fallout100 µg/m2× dayAnnual average (arithmetic mean)
Cadmium (Cd) in dust fallout2 µg/m2× dayAnnual average (arithmetic mean)
Zinc (Zn) in dust fallout400 µg/m2× dayAnnual average (arithmetic mean)
Thallium (Tl) in dust fallout2 µg/m2× dayAnnual average (arithmetic mean)
Notes:
mg = milligram: 1 mg = 0.001 g
µg = microgram: 1 µg = 0.001 mg
ng = nanogram: 1 ng = 0.001 µg
d = day
The sign ≤ means «less than or equal to».
