Field Comparison of PM(10) Samplers

Fugitive emissions of PM 10 (particulate matter with equivalent aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometer or less) are an increasing concern for concentrated animal feeding operations, including open-lot beef cattle feedlots. Various federal reference method (FRM) and equivalent samplers can be used to...

Zusammenfassung:Fugitive emissions of PM 10 (particulate matter with equivalent aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometer or less) are an increasing concern for concentrated animal feeding operations, including open-lot beef cattle feedlots. Various federal reference method (FRM) and equivalent samplers can be used to measure PM₁₀ concentrations. This research compared the performance of Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), FRM high-volume (HV), and low-volume (LV) PM₁₀ samplers in measuring PM₁₀ concentrations in the vicinity of large cattle feedlots in Kansas. Each of the three samplers was installed at the downwind and upwind perimeters of two commercial cattle feedlots (KS1 and KS2). Samplers were operated from May 2006 to February 2008 at KS1 and from February 2007 to February 2008 at KS2. PM₁₀ concentration ranged from
