Collecting Data on Particulate Matter provides an overview of monitoring options for particulate matter. These are further broken down into three main types of data collection

• Active monitoring,

Public Lab Tool Development on Passive Monitoring

While the linked pages provide information on the other types of monitoring methods, the most development on this project has been on passive systems. The pages below explain the passive monitoring system currently being explored, by the states the monitoring is done in:

• Assembling the tool
• Deploying the tool
• Collecting the samples and creating images of them
• Analyzing the images
