A Comparison Between Ground and Air Sampling
A Comparison Between Ground and Air Sampling
All data
collected
during
SARP 2009
Methodology
Correlation
◦ Average concentrations
◦ Coefficient was too high
◦ Dominating concentrations
◦ Needed a different way to look at how
the data varied
Methodology
Made the decision to compare the
concentrations separately
◦ Calculated standard deviations from
average concentrations
◦ Standard deviation inaccurate
◦ Used the coefficient of variation
instead
Results: Coefficients of
Variation
