Introduction
The Palmer site, which was shut down in 2019, was located on South Gulkana Street in Palmer, Alaska. It was a particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3) monitoring site. Monitoring objectives for the Palmer site were to provide timely air pollution information and determine ambient air quality standard compliance. The site consisted of continuous PM2.5 and PM10 Met One Beta Attenuation Monitors (BAMs), with particle size selective inlets. In addition, the site consisted of a Teledyne API 400E O3 analyzer. It was a Special Purpose Monitoring (SPM) Site for PM2.5 and PM10 pollutants.
