Fine particulate matter measurement and international standardization for air quality and emissions from stationary sources

Abstract

This paper describes a number of global regulations dealing with very fine ambient particulate matter, PM2.5 and PM10 and the measurements aspects of PM2.5 emission measurement methods for stationary sources, particularly of dilution techniques that promote simulation of atmospheric transformation of stack gases allowing for the use of the resulting near-ambient emission data in source apportionment and health risk studies, along with the current progress on international standardization of source PM2.5 measurement methods.
