Abstract
We consider the problem of calibration of dust monitors. We analyze the systematic errors in the determination of the experimental points due to the limited sampling time. We propose procedures for estimating the correlation interval and the generalized variance of the instantaneous values of the dust concentration. Based on analysis of the indicated errors, we select appropriate weighting factors in the linear regression equation, which makes it possible to reduce the relative error of the calibration by a factor of 1.5-2.
