Abstract
We provide a review of the common methodologies employed in the analysis of airborne particulate matter (PM). In this review, we focused on quantification of PM by different plant-based and instrument-based methods. First, we described sampling of PM by active and passive approaches. Then, different processing methods for PM samples required prior to final quantification are described. For final determination, the dust deposition, PM concentration in air in different fractions, and counting of PM in deposited form as well as in suspended form by various approaches are reviewed. We examined each method and their applicability in different environmental conditions. Finally, the described methods are evaluated with respect to their potential benefits and limitations in environmental monitoring and management.
