Abstract

A option of the methodology for observing PM2.5 and PM10 particle mass concentrations based on an Arduino UNO board and Sensirion SPS30 laser sensor has been developed. The measuring system built according to the technique was used in a field experiment, as well as in continuous observations at a stationary point: the Moscow Geophysical Monitoring Center of the Institute of Dynamics of Geospheres, Russian Academy of Sciences (IDG RAS). Examples of variations in the observed characteristics are given, which indicate the possibility of using the instrumental system in addition to already existing devices when observing the geophysical environment. Continuous monitoring of microparticle concentrations at the Geophysical Monitoring Center will make it possible not only to assess the degree of atmospheric pollution in the megalopolis, but also highlight certain trends, frequencies, and patterns. Such monitoring will also make it possible to reveal the contribution of various sources to the increase in microparticle concentrations, as well as the effect of pollution on different geophysical fields.
