(a)The national primary ambient air quality standards for PM2.5 are 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m 3) annual arithmetic mean concentration and 35 µg/m 3 24-hour average concentration measured in the ambient air as PM2.5 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers) by either:
(1)A reference method based on appendix L to this part and designated in accordance with part 53 of this chapter; or
(2)An equivalent method designated in accordance with part 53 of this chapter.
(b)The primary annual PM2.5 standard is met when the annual arithmetic mean concentration, as determined in accordance with appendix N to this part, is less than or equal to 9.0 µg/m 3.
(c)The primary 24-hour PM2.5 standard is met when the 98th percentile 24-hour concentration, as determined in accordance with appendix N to this part, is less than or equal to 35 µg/m 3. [89 FR 16380, Mar. 6, 2024]
