Title: Methods for Measurement of Filterable PM10 and PM2.5 and Measurement of Condensable Particulate Matter Emissions From Stationary Sources 
Abstract: This action adds new procedures to two methods required in State Implementation Plans to measure fine PM or PM 2.5 with condensable emissions. Method 201a is amended to add procedures and equipment specifications for use of 2.5 micron size cut cyclone, which may be used in conjunction with the current 10 micron size cut cyclone if measuring both PM10 or PM2.5 or may be used alone if only PM2.5 is to be measured. Method 202 is amended to add procedures and equipment specifications to be followed when the measurement of fine PM which includes condensable emissions is required. These amendments improve the accuracy and precision of current version of Method 202.
