Concerns
• Adverse Health Effects PM mass, chemical composition (sulfate, EC,
OC etc), size
• Identify PM sources • Understand a relationship between sources and
adverse health effects
• Develop control strategies of PM
EPA STN sites
• PM2.5 chemical composition (ionic species, OC & EC, trace elements)− covers from January 2002 to November 2003

Spatial Correlations of Sources
• Which sources are/are not correlated in the region?
• Source correlation calculations– Pearson numbers between two sites were calculated for
each source based on daily source apportionment results– how daily source correlations are changed with distance
