Objective:
The overall objective of this research project is to develop a complete real-time monitoring system for acidity and soluble components in airborne fine particulate matter (PM). The system will be readily transportable and capable of continuous field operation.
The specific objectives of this research project are to: (1) automate the operation of the PMSCS-IC system; (2) integrate the PMSCS-IC system into a continuous ambient fine PM mass and composition monitoring system developed previously in this laboratory; and (3) build and test the system in both indoor and outdoor environments.
