This document compares measurements of particulate matter PM2.5 mass from a SidePak AM510 nephelometer to measurements from a TEOM-FDMS 8500 at multiple sites in Italy. It finds that calibrating the SidePak using a radiative transfer model that accounts for factors like particle composition and humidity provides better agreement with the TEOM-FDMS than using the factory calibration. The calibration is most improved when done using co-located measurements of the two instruments. A sensitivity analysis shows particle density and the nephelometer calibration factor α contribute most to measurement uncertainty.
