I am working on the increment of particulate matter in ambient air due to episodic events, I have data set for PM 1, PM 2.5 and PM 10. How can I calculate the deposition rate of the particulate matter, so as to investigate further impacts.
www.euro.who.int/__data/.../AQG2ndEd_7_3Particulate-matter.pdf, nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=P100HP6M.TXT. the two papers can help you determine amount of particulate matter.
You may also need to measure the near wall velocity to scale the deposition rate more physically. Based on your dataset, you may estimate the deposition rate with the concentration decay method. I attached two of my publications with similar method for your references.
