Data on different sized particulate matter concentration produced from a construction activity

Particulate matter (PM) exposure is produced during most of the construction activities. The dataset was acquired from an experimental investigation by monitoring PM(10), PM(2.5), and PM(1) concentration produced while building a solid concrete block wall. Alphasense OPC-N2 sensors and Sharp GP2Y1010 sensors were collocated in each of the monitoring stations (MS) to measure the PM concentration. The data was collected at 2 s time interval during the entire 40 min of the activity. The data can be utilized for study PM produced and propagated from construction. Furthermore, the dataset can be used to improve the awareness of the construction professionals about the PM production and exposure during the construction works and refine the current construction practices.
