Particulate Matter (PM2.5) data measured from prescribed burns at Fort Stewart, Georgia February 2024

Atmospheric particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5, units of micrograms/m3) was measured at two prescribed (Rx) burns at Fort Stewart Georgia in February 2024. PM2.5 was measured by two Environmental Beta Attenuation Monitors (EBAM) at each burn (serial numbers C17410 and C15947). The EBAMs are manufactured by Met One Instruments. The burns units were: E11 (2/8/2024) and E16 (2/10/2024). Hourly PM2.5 data were recorded, and in some cases (when concentrations were high), 10-min average PM2.5 data were recorded.

method	Experimental Design and Data Collected: Two Environmental Beta Attenuation (EBAM) monitors were deployed downwind of two prescribed fires at Fort Stewart Georgia in February of 2024 to measure smoke from the fires. Deployment locations were chosen based on the expected wind direction on the day of the burn and the location of the Georgia Tech instrument trailer in order to augment the spatial distribution of smoke measurements obtained. EBAMs measure fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere by collecting particulates on a filter that intercepts the air flow. Beta particles are directed at the filter, and the beta particle attenuation gives a measure of particulate matter deposited on the filter.
