Could the leaky timer box have caused some results to indicate lower levels of pollution than actually are in the air?
No. The leak occurred where the timer box attaches to the canister that collects the sample of air not in the canister itself. That allowed air from inside the box, which contained some of the pollutants we are trying to measure, to get into the canister. It didnt allow air to get out. The contaminated samples would show higher levels of pollution, not lower ones.
