Optimization and quality control of suspended particulate matter concentration measurement using turbidity measurements
The dry weight concentration of suspended particulate material, [SPM] (units: mg L–1), is measured by passing a known volume of seawater through a preweighed filter and reweighing the filter after drying. This is apparently a simple procedure, but accuracy and precision of [SPM] measurements vary widely depending on the measurement protocol and experience and skills of the person filtering. We ...
متن کاملEstablishing the Relationship between Turbidity and Total Suspended Sediment Concentration
This laboratory work examines the relationship between turbidity (NTU) and total suspended sediment concentration (TSS, mg/L) for a Cecil Ap soil, a common Southeastern Piedmont soil type. We show a 1:1 correlation between NTU and TSS for the silt and clay fractions, but a smaller ratio for clay and bulk-soil samples. These results suggest that NTU measurements can be used to estimate sediment ...
متن کاملMeasurement of particulate matter concentration from dust storms and its relationship with interleukin 6 in healthy individuals in Zahedan
Background & Aim: Dust storms have detrimental effects on human health, the environment and the economy. Epidemiological research shows an association between air pollution and increased mortality from cardiovascular complications. Interleukins play key roles in production of inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between PM10 and interleukin 6 in health...
متن کاملComparison of measured total suspended particulate matter concentrations using tapered element oscillating microbalance and a total suspended particulate sampler.
A comparison of the concentration of the total suspended particulate (TSP) matter measured by the tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) monitor and the isokinetic TSP samplers developed at the University of Illinois was carried out in several types of confinement livestock buildings. In a majority of the measurements done, the dust concentration measured by the TEOM monitor was lower ...
متن کاملQuality-assured measurements of animal building emissions: particulate matter concentrations.
Federally funded, multistate field studies were initiated in 2002 to measure emissions of particulate matter (PM) < 10 microm (PM10) and total suspended particulate (TSP), ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane, nonmethane hydrocarbons, and odor from swine and poultry production buildings in the United States. This paper describes the use of a continuous PM analyzer based on the tap...
