Network Design and Optimum Site Exposure Criteria for Particulate Matter

摘要

The primary purpose of this document is to assist in planning a network of monitoring sites for measuring particulate matter. The measurements will conform to the new PM10 standard, which replaces the former total suspended particulate (TSP) standard. As a secondary objective, this document will aid in understanding the relationship between PM10 measurements and the quality of air that is sampled. The information contained here will prove useful to both air quality surveillance personnel and the users of air quality monitoring data. In this document, the siting process is viewed dynamically.
