the Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s tapered element
oscillating microbalance instrument and the corrected
values from MIE DataRam (serial No. 2484).

values from the MIE DataRam (serial No. 2484).
The DataRam tended to give slightly lower readings than the TEOM instrument. This may be because the TEOM instrument measured PM10 while the real-time instruments measured PM2.5.
