However, detecting atmospheric pollutants is costly, time-consuming, and cumbersome. Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) utilizes filter-based techniques in their federal reference and federal equivalent methods (FRM and FEM, respectively) to measure ground-based particulate matter (PM) levels in the atmosphere. Recently, the development of low-cost sensors has helped in combatting the high cost associated with acquiring these measurements. These sensors allow for PM concentrations to be measured at high resolutions. Due to their surface mounted nature, the EPA’s methods are limited in measuring the concentrations of PM at the ground-level. Hence, they lack the ability of determining the concentrations at various altitudes, which is important in characterizing the origin and the formation pathway of such pollutants. To address these shortcomings, ...
