| Abstract |
Criteria are suggested for locating high-volume total suspended particulate (TSP) measurement sites based upon sampling needs. These needs are determined and classified according to the purposes for which measurements are made. The first step in the site selection process is thus to identify the purpose of the monitoring and relate it to the size of the area for which the measurements are to be representative. Attention must also be given to particle size and the special requirements of monitoring the impacts of large, individual sources. A matrix is included to help the reader relate different purposes to appropriate spatial scales and to the other factors that are important to the site selection process. Procedures are given for selecting locations that are representative of urban neighborhoods and interurban regions; selecting sites along traffic corridors is also discussed. Methods are also given for finding locations where the impact of major individual sources are most pronounced. The importance of smaller particles is emphasized because of their greater health and environmental effects relative to their mass. Specific recommendations for sampling heights, distances from sources, and placement relative to urban areas are given along with the rationale behind these recommendations. |
