This work applied inexpensive passive sampling to measure airborne coarse particles with aerodynamic diameters between 2.5 and 10 mu m (PM10-2.5) over three 7-day periods at 33 sites in a medium-sized Midwest City (Iowa City, IA). The number of sites and their locations were selected using an optimal sampling design that captured 95% of the total variance in PM10-2.5 as measured with real-time sampling equipment on a mobile sampling platform. Weekly averages Of PM10-2.5 were 15.9 mu g m(-3) (coefficient of variation between sites, CV=23%), 17.9 mu g m(-3) (CV=24%), and 6.1 mu g m(-3) (CV = 30%). ANOVA showed that these means were statistically different (p
