Book Description
Measurement of ambient particulate matter (PM) mass and chemical composition is important for source attribution, studies of health and welfare effects, and determination of compliance with standards. A comprehensive approach to PM monitoring requires a combination of analytical techniques to assess mass and chemical composition, and an integrated network of ambient and stack/source PM monitors. There are several commercially available devices that can continuously monitor PM mass. However, none of these methods have been approved by the EPA, since most of these devices do not directly measure mass. In addition, chemical analysis of PM is costly and difficult, since existing technologies are not capable of continuous sampling/monitoring for chemical composition. Therefore, the next generation of PM monitors should be multi-functional instruments capable of continuous, real-time monitoring of both PM mass and chemical composition. In addition, they will need to address several barriers to their use including cost, complicated calibration and verification systems, and cumbersome installation and maintenance procedures.
