The present study summarizes the results of a measurement campaign conducted in Paris suburbs (Bobigny - 95) from January to March 2005, in the framework of Laboratoire Central de Surveillance de la Qualité de l'Air (LCSQA) activities. The main goal is to show that the methods tested (TEOM - FDMS from Thermo R&P and beta gauge MP101M-RST from Environnement SA) meet the Data Quality Objectives for PM10 continuous measurements specified in the Air Quality Directive 99/30/EC, under conditions reflecting practical application in air quality monitoring networks. PM2.5 continuous measurement feasibility has also been studied.
