Field sampling of particulate emissions from paved and unpaved roads was performed at four locations around the country: a western site (Reno), a Rocky Mountain Front Range site (Denver), a Midwestern site (Kansas City) and an eastern site (Research Triangle Park). Reference-method dichotomous samplers were used to measure the PM-2.5 component of PM-10 in the emission plumes. Other fine particle sizing devices colocated in this study included traditional high-volume cyclone/cascade impactors and a state-of-the-art continuous monitor utilizing time of flight measurement. The data gathered in the test program were used to calculate PM-2.5/PM-10 ratios applicable to particulate emissions from paved and unpaved roads.
