Abstract

The aim of this study was to expand the monitoring network and evaluate the accuracy of inexpensive WoMaster ES-104 sensors for monitoring particulate matter (PM) in temperate latitudes, using the example of the Southern Baikal region. The research methods included continuous measurements of PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations, temperature, and humidity at three stations (Listvyanka, Patrony, and Tankhoy) from October 2023 to October 2024, using the LCS WoMaster ES-104. ERA5-Land reanalysis data and the HYSPLIT model were used to analyze meteorological conditions and air mass trajectories. The results of this study showed a high correlation between the WoMaster ES-104 and the DustTrak 8533; the correlation coefficient was 0.94 (R 2 = 0.85) for both fractions. The seasonal dynamics of PM 2.5 and PM 10 were characterized by a dual-mode distribution with maxima in summer (secondary aerosols, high humidity) and winter (anthropogenic emissions, inversions). The diurnal cycles showed morning/evening peaks associated with transport activity and atmospheric stratification. Extreme concentrations were recorded in anticyclonal weather (weak north-westerly winds, stable atmosphere). This study confirms the suitability of the LCS WoMaster ES-104 for real-time monitoring of PM 2.5 and PM 10 , which contributes to sustainable development by increasing the availability of air quality data for ecologically significant regions such as Lake Baikal.
