Abstract
Concentrations of size-resolved airborne particulate matter measured in Pho enix, Arizona in 1995-1996 indicate a strong linear relationship between th e soil components of PM2.5 and the intermodal PM concentration and similarl y between the nonsoil components of PM2.5 and the PM1 concentration. Moreov er, the ratio of PM1 to intermodal PM varies considerably at all reported c oncentrations of PM2.5, and this variation appears to be systematically rel ated to the proportion of PM2.5 comprised of soil components.
