Stationary measurements are 3-6 weeks of continuous 190 CPC data at a fixed site. Driving measurements are FMPS-measured integrated number 191 concentrations within 50 m buffer area from each stationary site. The driving samples were 192 collected in different parts of a day (e.g., morning, midday, and evening); total number of day 193 visits at each site are indicated in Figure.
