Particulate Matter monitoring – PM10
What is PM10? “PM”, Particulate Matter, is not a single pollutant, but refers to a complex mixture of solids and aerosols of varying shape, size, and chemical composition and may contain many chemical species like organic compounds, inorganic ions, metallic compounds, elementary carbon, etc. So, these atmospheric particles are defined by their diameter for air quality regulatory ...

Spatial and temporal differences of Particulate Matter in Berlin
Particulate Matter (PM) is still a problem in urban areas. The concentration of PM in Berlin and its variability is the subject of this study based on data of six official PM10 monitoring stations and a measuring program carried out by the Institute of Geography covering PM2.5 and coarse PM measurements at 19 sites, distinguished between traffic related and urban background sites. The impact of ...

PM2.5 and PM10 monitors: Importance & application in air quality monitoring
With that, the demand for energy, transportation, and infrastructure development has skyrocketed. Several studies have shown the detrimental effects of air pollution on human health and well-being. Among all the air pollutants, particulate matter (PM) pollution is of particular concern. Particulate matter (PM) is further classified into PM2.5 and PM10, based upon their particle diameter. However, ...

What is the difference between A PM2.5 Monitor and a PM10 Monitor?
Ambient air particulate monitoring is of more interest than ever before. The reason is new public awareness of the health effects of small particles suspended in the air, in combination with increased vehicle fleets emitting such particles. “PM” stands for particulate matter. The number (usually 10 or 2.5) indicates the size of the particulates monitored. PM10 refers to particles ...

Ambient air quality of Kathmandu valley as reflected by atmospheric particulate matter concentrations (PM10)
This paper presents the analysis and interpretation of ambient particulate matter concentrations measured as PM10 at a network of six air monitoring stations in Kathmandu valley during the years, 2003 through 2005. The purpose was to understand the pollution trends associated with different areas considering levels particulate matter concentrations representing the ambient air quality of ...

Trends of lead in suspended particulate matter in Zagreb air
Monitoring of lead in Total Suspended Particulate Matter (TSPM) started in Zagreb, Croatia in 1971 at three measuring sites. Monitoring of lead concentrations in PM10 started in 1999. This paper presents the trends of annual mean values for lead concentrations in TSPM and in PM10 particles. The obtained data showed a decreasing trend of lead in TSPM, especially during the last ten years when the ...

Frequency distribution of particulate matter (PM10) in urban environments
Hourly measurements of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm (PM10) were recorded in Athens, Greece and Manchester, UK, for a period of one year. The lognormal, gamma and Weibull distributions were selected to fit the concentration frequency distribution of the measured PM10 data. Moreover, the statistics of Mean Bias Error (MBE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and index ...

Air pollution at the Bily Kriz mountains in the Czech Republic
An evaluation of air pollution at the Bily Kriz mountains in the Czech Republic is given. Annual daily concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter of size 10 mm (PM10) and ozone (O3) measured in the years 1994–2000 are presented. Air pollution at Bily Kriz is assessed with the reference to the European Union Directives and the standards adopted by the Czech ...

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Reconsideration
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a reconsideration of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), proposing a revision to lower the annual standard for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5). The EPA proposed to retain existing 24-hour PM 2.5 and PM 10 standards but is accepting comments on lowering the 24-hour PM 2.5 standard in ...

Assessment of particulates in the urban atmosphere of Sao Carlos, Brazil
A survey on the concentration of particulate matter in the urban atmosphere was carried out in the city of Sao Carlos, Brazil. Five sites were selected for data collection one in the city centre (high concentration of people and automotive vehicles), three in industrial areas, and one at the interface with the countryside. The particle size distribution and mass concentration, temperature, ...

Which Dust Monitoring Equipment should you go for - Dustroid Smart or Dustroid Pro?
Airborne particle generation poses a major problem in mining, construction, heavy civil/earthworks. The workplace environment in these industries is prone to health risks from airborne dust. Thus, all the workplace safety standards surrounding these industries greatly emphasize an effective dust monitoring equipment and dust control ...

Environmental monitoring on mining sites - Case Study
Environmental monitoring on mining sites Mining generates dust and noise pollutions that impact health and environment. As we become more cognizant of the impact mining dust has on air quality, public protection agencies have passed regulations to decrease the impact mining may have on human health and the surrounding communities. Worker safety has long been at stake as well, and new ...

Monitoring PM 10, PM 2.5 AND PM 1.0 emissions from industrial sources and domestic stoves
1 ABSTRACT Recent epidemiological studies have shown that fine particles in ambient air are more harmful than it was supposed to be. Therefore the latest legislation of the EC [1] includes PM 10 and PM 2.5 limit values at a low level. In Germany and in other European countries there are gaps in keeping these demanding goals. For the gap closure it is necessary to carry out research in fine ...

Study of vehicular emissions with reference to Pakistan's National Environmental Quality Standards: case study of District Swat, North of Pakistan
This study was conducted during 2011–2012 with the objective to assess the ambient air quality in the surroundings of a newly constructed road in relation to Pakistan's Environmental Quality Standard (Pak–NEQS). The area was monitored twice, before and during the construction, to determine levels of sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, and PM10 (particulate matter). A ...

Monitoring - Pollution Prevention Guidelines
Introduction Pollution Prevention Guidelines to provide technical advice and guidance to staff and consultants involved in pollution-related projects. The guidelines represent state-of-the-art thinking on how to reduce pollution emissions from the production process. In many cases, the guidelines provide numerical targets for reducing pollution, as well as maximum emissions ...

Air pollution in Europe 1990-2004
Overall picture This report analyses and presents changes in air pollutant emissions and their possible health or ecosystem impacts in Europe covering the period 1990–2004. Emissions of all air pollutants fell substantially during the period 1990–2004 in the 32 EEA member countries (EEA-32), resulting in improved air quality over the region. However, ambient concentrations of particulate matter ...
