Impact of Mobile Monitoring Network Design on Air Pollution Exposure Assessment Models.

ABSTRACT: Short-term mobile monitoring campaigns are increasingly used to assess long-term air pollution exposure in epidemiology. Little is known about how monitoring network design features, including the number of stops and sampling temporality, impacts exposure assessment models. We address this gap by leveraging an extensive mobile monitoring campaign conducted in the greater Seattle area over the course of a year during all days of the week and most hours. The campaign measured total particle number concentration (PNC; sheds light on ultrafine particulate (UFP) number concentration), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). In Monte Carlo sampling of 7327 total stops (278 sites × 26 visits each), we r
