摘要
A particulate mass monitor includes two mass sensors, such as an optical sensor (e.g., a light scattering photometer or nephelometer) and a beta radiation attenuation sensor for substantially continuous monitoring of ambient particulate matter. During operation, the first mass sensor references the time-averaged measurement of the second mass sensor such that the second mass sensor calibrates the response of the first mass sensor. If the first sensor is an optical sensor, as it detects the presence of particulate matter within a fluid, the mass concentration measurement (e.g., signal output) provided by the optical sensor is altered using a ratio of concentration measurements of the second mass sensor and the optical sensor. The combined use of the two mass sensors provides accurate mass measurements of ambient particulate matter with a relatively high time resolution.
