Abstract
A method and system of determining air quality are disclosed. In examples, a method comprises identifying one or more aerosol particle types based on an absorbance spectra of aerosol particles captured on a filter and determining a mass concentration of each of the one or more aerosol particle types based on the absorbance spectra and the aerosol particle type. The method further comprises detecting a median particle size of each of the one or more aerosol particle types based on a rate of change of the absorbance spectra and the aerosol particle type. The method further comprises determining an air quality metric based on the identified one or more aerosol particle types, the determined mass concentration of each of the one or more aerosol particle types, and the determined median particle size of each of the one or more aerosol particle types.
