Monitored background concentrations are added to the modeled concentration to obtain the total predicted concentration at a receptor point. Wisconsin background concentrations are developed by county for pollutant. Background concentrations for all criteria pollutants other than lead are available as well as separate tables for Particulate Matter (TSP), PM10, NOx, Carbon Monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). These background tables were last updated March 2004.
