โฆ Synopsis
Four methods for estimating the uncertainties in air pollution measurements are outlined. The approaches are: analytical solution -approximation; application of distribution theory; experimentation; and simulation. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are illustrated using data from High-Volume air samplers, the instrument most commonly used for monitoring ambient concentrations of airborne particles.

## Error in the Propagation of Error Formula In a paper by Park and Himmelblau (1980), the authors draw the attention to the fact that the widely used formula for error propagation may give systematic errors in the estimation of the mean and the variance of a variable. Their formula for the propag
