CCRAB Peonie Street PurpleAir Data

General Information
Data Package:
Local Identifier:edi.956.1
Title:CCRAB Peonie Street PurpleAir Data
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Air Quality Data:

This data is derived from Purple Air; an Air Quality monitor that measures airborne particulate matter (PM). Particulate matter describes solid particles suspended in air; through organic and inorganic particles. PurpleAir sensors use laser particle counters to count the number of particles by particle sizes (μm), and use the count data to calculate mass concentrations of PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10.

This data set represents one monitor of multiple monitors deployed throughout Environmental Justice neighborhoods in the Charleston Tri-County area in South Carolina, (USA). This data includes 15 minutes averages and will be an ongoing data set that will be updated once a year. The data set starts in March 2022.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

PurpleAir sensors use PMSX003 laser counters to measure particulate matter in real time, with each laser counter alternating 5-second readings averaged over 120 seconds. Each laser counter uses a fan to draw a sample of air past a laser beam. The beam from these class IIIa/3R lasers will reflect light from any present particles onto a detection plate, like dust shimmering in a sunbeam. The reflection is measured as a pulse by the detection plate, and the length of the pulse determines the size of the particle while the number of pulses determines the particle count. These particle counts are used to calculate the mass concentrations of PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 for standard indoor (CF_1) and outdoor particles (ATM).
