Temporal patterns in daily measurements of inorganic and organic speciated PM_2.5 in Denver.

ABSTRACT: Airborne particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM_2.5) has been linked to a wide range of adverse health effects and as a result is currently regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. PM_2.5 originates from a multitude of sources and has heterogeneous physical and chemical characteristics. These features complicate the link between PM_2.5 emission sources, ambient concentrations and health effects. The goal of the Denver Aerosol Sources and Health (DASH) study is to investigate associations between sources and health using daily measurements of speciated PM_2.5 in Denver. The datxa set being collected for the DASH study will be the longest daily speciated PM_2.5 data set of its kind covering 5.5 years of
