Abstract
A comparison of particulate matter monitoring using a 1400a series TEOM and a 2000 series Partisol is reported for an area where airborne particulate matter content is dominated by geological material. A non-linear relationsh ip (Partisol = 0.6989TEOM(1.179), R = 0.961, n = 100) was found to give the best description of the relationship between these two instruments. Some c omparison data for the MINIVOL are also reported. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
