2. Using Table 7.3 in the textbook, determine the AQI descriptor (Good, Moderate, etc.) that should be reported for air quality on the following days: Pollutant Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 O3, 1-hr (ppm) 0.15 0.22 0.12 CO, 8-hr (ppm) 12 1.5 8 PM2.5, 24-hr (ug/m3) 130 150 10 PM10, 24-hr (ug/m3) 180 300 100 SO2, 24-hr (ppm) 0.12 0.2 0.05 NO2, 1-hr (ppm) 0.4 0.7 0.1 Note that the AQI descriptor for any particular day is the worst one of all of the criteria pollutants on that day (so, you have to get the AQI for each criteria pollutant on a day in order to get the worst one). If the pollutant concentration is outside of the range for which there are listed AQIs (usually, the concentration is too low), then the descriptor is "not applicable"
