Coarse Particle Speciation at Selected Locations in the Continental U.S. From a manuscript draft courtesy of Bill Malm, National Park Service
IMPROVE Coarse PM Speciation Study Design • Sites studied • Bondville, IL • Bridger, WY • Brigantine, NJ • Grand Canyon, AZ • Great Smokies, TN • Mount Rainier, WA • San Gorgonio, CA • Sequoia, CA • Upper Buffalo, AR • 12-18 months of data, varies by site, samples every 3 days • Added PM10 Carbon and Nitrate channels, same analysis method as PM2.5 • Analyzed PMcoarse speciation as the species difference PM10 minus PM2.5
