• Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
• Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
• Negative hourly PM10/PM2.5 concentrations down to -5 µg/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
