You need to installed three AAQM Monitoring stations as per wind direction one at Upwind and two at downwind direction (on 120 degree angle triangle).

Frquency as per NAAQS 2009 104 readings at each locations means you have to monitor one location twice a week.

Again all parameter analysis is very costly so you can monitor SOx, NOx, ammonia, Ozone, PM2.5 PM 10 for 104 reading at one location and once in month or qtrly you can grab the sample for metal, Benzene, bezo pyerene.

I think this will help you to monitor air quality better.

You can increase the frequency of sampling if these parameters found to be higher than specified limits and after taking corrective action.

Hope this data will help you.
