The Virtual Workgroup for the
Fine Particle Analysis Workbook


The Emissions, Monitoring and Analysis Division of OAQPS is initiating a collaborative effort to explore relevant analyses of the PM2.5 data to be collected by the national monitoring network currently being deployed. The goals of this effort are to (1) foster an environment for the sharing of ideas and (2) develop a workbook detailing useful analyses of the PM2.5 mass and speciated data.

We need your HELP!! Please submit any information pertinent to PM2.5 data analysis! The posting can 1) describe a recent, ongoing, or proposed PM2.5 (or related) analysis project; 2) reference a published (even  old ) paper describing analysis techniques or tools relevant to PM2.5; 3) alert would-be analysts of common problems and/or pitfalls; or 4) simply share a tidbit or nougat of helpful information. To make a submission, find the appropriate outline folder and  submit a new entry .  Try to enter as much of the requested information as possible but at least enough to point us in the right direction.  Thanks!

This website is a forum for the free exchange of fine particle data and information in support of these goals. The virtual community that shares this website consists of individuals from the federal EPA, regional, state and local air pollution agencies, industry and other groups. Documents related to the official regulatory process are to be found on the companion EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/pm25/.

See the Website Assistance page for answers to frequently asked question, help on navigating the website, participating in discussions and publishing of documents, and website design rationale.
