Measurement System (FDMS);• PM10 OPSIS SM200, (SM200 Beta and
SM200 Mass); • PM10 Met-One Beta Attenuation Monitor

Practical Problems encountered
• KfG –samplers stopping at high temp and %RH• Partisol – minor problems• TEOM – minor problems• FDMS – sensitive to temp of station – 18-22oC• SM200 – filter identification; initial filter thickness• BAM – leak flow test failures• Smart BAM – major problems with initial set-up – excluded
from statistical analysis

Summary of deviations from CEN standards and Equivalence Guidance
• EN12341 – teflon coated glass fibre filters used• EN14907 – no commercially available monitors• Equivalence Guidance
• outliers due to human error rather than instrument error• slopes of all datasets were all greater or all less than 1,
and/or the intercepts of all datasets were all greater or all less than zero
• failure on WCM for the <50 % LV dataset alone• Logic steps to determine whether an instrument meets the
criteria for equivalence

Policy Implications
• TEOM – UK currently applies the ‘consistent’ relationship allowed in the Directive
• TEOM x 1.3 is overly conservative at some sites• Although non-equivalent – broad conclusions from TEOM
will be same as those from equivalent instruments• elevated levels of PM in some places; and• particles pose a large public health risk across the UK
• Checking of UK national modelling will be affected
![Page 14: STUDY OF PM CORRECTION FACTORS IN THE UK Dr Janet Dixon Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UK](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551c4810550346a5458b48bb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• UK has begun a transitional period of making the network equivalent – initially using FDMS units retrofitted to existing TEOMs
• UK local authorities can continue to use TEOMs to fulfil their obligations under the Local Air Quality Management regime
• Implications on any epidemiology studies currently underway
Policy Implications
![Page 15: STUDY OF PM CORRECTION FACTORS IN THE UK Dr Janet Dixon Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UK](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551c4810550346a5458b48bb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Comparison of FDMSbase vs TEOM
• 3 measurements from FDMS: non-volatile (base); volatile and total
• relationship between the FDMSbase and TEOM measurements with and without the USEPA and UK correction factors:
• TEOM(0,1,1) = (PM10 FDMSbase+ 2.061)/1.360• TEOM(3,1.03,1.3) = PM10 FDMSbase+ 5.826

Summary
• Study report published 13 June 06• In the UK:
• TEOM fails equivalence tests• Partisol 2025 Sequential Sampler; TEOM retrofitted
with FDMS (for PM10 and PM2.5); and the OPSIS SM200 (by Beta) pass without correction
• OPSIS SM200 (by Mass) and Met One BAM pass with correction
• Have determined relationship between FDMSbase and TEOM for future comparisons
• UK has commenced upgrading National Network initially using FDMS units retrofitted to existing TEOMs
