| Abstract |
As a result of recent findings of statistical relationships between ambient particular matter concentrations and mortality, the EPA's Office of Research and Development has begun to establish monitoring sites to collect data which have more detail (in terms of size cuts and composition) than those used in previous epidemiological studies. The Phoenix site was designed to evaluate various particulate samplers in an area that is expected to be heavily influenced by a component of windblown dust. This paper examines one year (February 1995-January 1996) of particulate mass data from that site. The data include 24-hr fine(PM2.5) and coarse(PM2.5 to PM10) mass fractions from three different samplers. In addition, 1-hr PM2.5 and PM10 measurements are available from continuous methods and are supported by 1-hr meteorological data. This paper also addresses method comparisons, precision and accuracy of the instruments, and characterization of the relation between fine and coarse mass. Seasonal and meteorological influences on the distributions of mass are explored. Special studies on the reliability of the continuous methods are examined. |
