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 />

(annual average in %)<br />

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

NO 2 = averaged concentration for nitrogen dioxide<br />

in µg/ m 3<br />

SO 2 = averaged concentration for sulphur dioxide 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 />
