Table 3: Sensitivities expressed as LOAED levels of vulnerable materials to NO 2 , used to determine EWO response thresholds. Values<br />
in brackets are years of exposure.<br />
Thresholds / Tolerability - location levels<br />
R = C * t x (3)<br />
Where: R = response<br />
C = pollutant concentration<br />
t = time<br />
x = time dependence = 1 for the linear case<br />
Thus, for any material with LOAED levels that<br />
can be derived from similar linear equations the<br />
threshold levels in Tables 1 and 2 and the derived<br />
EWO evaluation of environments are valid if<br />
the important degrading environmental variables<br />
are included and the concentration levels for the<br />
respective locations are accepted. However, as is<br />
discussed below, such an effect evaluation is not<br />
necessarily complete.<br />

T = averaged air temperature at exposition (annual<br />
average in °C)<br />
RH = averaged relative humidity at exposition<br />

O 3 = averaged concentration for ozone in µg / m 3<br />

Eq. 4 has linear time dependence on the pollutant<br />
concentrations, but this is not the case for Eq. 5. A<br />
time dependence < 1, as in Eq. 5 is typical for many<br />
materials [8] as the very first degraded surface layer<br />
reduce the reaction rate. For LOAEDs corresponding<br />
to the first surface effects of a slow reaction it may,<br />
even in this case, be possible to fit a linear equation,<br />
with little error. However, for such cases (x < 1 in<br />
Eq. 3) it would generally be necessary to recalculate<br />
the EWO trigger values and responses in Table 1 and<br />
2. Using the same concentration values for lowest<br />
level, the consequence would be higher tolerable<br />
concentration levels and EWO responses at the higher<br />
location levels (1-4) in the tables. It could be argued<br />
that this is a good thing, as the levels now determined<br />
