Abstract: The goal of continuous ambient participate monitoring has been realized through the use of tapered element oscillating microbalance technology. This technology measures particle mass inertially as the mass deposits on a filter. As such, it is a direct mass measurement and eliminates the mass uncertainties inherent in indirect methods represented by optical or beta adsorption instrumentation. A description of the tapered element oscillating microbalance PM-10 measurement technique is given. Tests have been conducted on tapered element oscillating microbalance PM-10 monitors both in the United States and Europe. Test results presented include comparisons to samplers designated as EPA reference methods.
