Estimating multi-annual PM2.5 air pollution levels using sVOC soil tests: Ashkelon South, Israel as a case study

The study confirms feasibility of obtaining reasonably accurate PM air pollution estimates using sVOC soil testing. While the costs of establishment and maintenance of a dense network of AQMS may be prohibitive, the proposed approach may help to obtain reasonably accurate PM air pollution estimates for geographic areas in which PM monitoring by AQMS is sparse or unavailable.
