  1. aWRD calculated as the mean of WRD of CCDs: 1) at monitored site; 2) within a 200 m radius of each of 10 regulatory monitors; 3) within a 2 km radius of each of 10 regulatory monitors
  2. bMeasured NO2 (2007) at monitored sites: 1) Annual average (24 h); 2) Annual average (1 h maximum) measured at 10 regulatory monitors
