What is total suspended particulate test?

The Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) test measures the concentration of suspended particles in the air, including dust, dirt, soot, and liquid droplets. It involves collecting air samples over a specified period using filters, which capture the particulates. The mass of these collected particles is then analyzed to determine the concentration in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³). This test is essential for assessing air quality and its potential impact on health and the environment.
