This document summarizes the assessment of the speciated particulate matter (PM) monitoring network in the United States. It finds that since 2000, speciated PM monitoring has expanded from 50 sites to over 350 sites. By 2003, the spatial coverage of speciated monitoring was high across the US. For long-term sulfate averages, estimation errors were below 1 microgram per cubic meter in the East. The 350 monitoring sites provide at least 10 times more spatial characterization of PM than the daily sampling frequency alone. The document recommends establishing continuous and automated network assessment as a routine part of ongoing PM monitoring.
