Trent, Andy . 2006. Smoke Particulate Monitors: 2006 Update. 0625 2842. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program.

This evaluation updates earlier evaluations of real-time monitors. These monitors can be used to evaluate air quality in areas affected by smoke from wildland fires. The evaluation was conducted in a laboratory setting and compared each monitor to at least one more identical monitor, to the other monitors evaluated, and to a Federal Reference Method sampler that was used as the standard. The DUSTTRAK monitor manufactured by TSI Inc. had not been evaluated before, nor had the external ac pump available

Keywords: prescribed fires, real time, air quality, DataRAM, DUSTTRAK, E-BAM, E-Sampler, Federal Reference Method, nephelometers, wildland fires
