Introduction: The aim of this study was to spatial analysis of PM10 concentrations in the ambient air of Yazd in two seasons, and the zoning by using Kriging interpolation method. Finally, different factors affecting the concentrations of PM10 are marked and standards have been investigated Material and methods: The measurement of PM10 particulates was performed by the monitoring device HAZ-...

The Federal Reference Method (FRM) ambient PM10 sampler does not always measure the true PM10 concentration. There are inherent sampling errors associated with the PM10 samplers due to the interaction of particle size distribution (PSD) and sampler performance characteristics. These sampling errors, which are the relative differences between theoretical estimation of the sampler concentration a...

one of atmospheric phenomena of dry and semi-dry areas and areas adjacent to these areas is the phenomenon of dust and production of particulate matter (pm10) that have a lot of environmental hazards. in this research, the purpose is investigation of temporal variations of pm10 concentration during 2005-2010 and influence of meteorological parameters on it. meteorology information have obtained...

The PM10 airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm is considered as a risk factor of various adverse health outcomes, including lung cancer. Here we described the sampling and composition of PM10 collected from an industrial zone (IZ), and a commercial zone (CZ) of Mexico City. The PM10 was collected with a high-volume sampler in the above mentioned locations and both type...

This study presents the results of the particle size distribution (PSD) analyses of dusts from two agricultural facilities using filters from collocated PM10 and total suspended particulates (TSP) samplers. Ideally, PM10 concentrations obtained using the PM10 sampler should be the same as those using the TSP sampler. However, it was observed from numerous sampling episodes that there exists a b...

Inhalable particulate matter (PM10) is a primary air pollutant closely related to public health, and an especially serious problem in urban areas. The urban heat island (UHI) effect has made the urban PM10 pollution situation more complex and severe. In this study, we established a health risk assessment system utilizing an epidemiological method taking the thermal environment effects into cons...

air pollution is a problem in kathmandu, nepal. particulate matter concentrations often exceed threshold values at which human health is severely affected. the problem is serious since it is in the valley topography wherein the meteorological parameters role is significant. this study addresses the linkages between meteorological processes and air pollution in the lower atmosphere of the kathma...

conclusions to reduce the impacts of particulate matter on health status of people in ilam, necessary training by health systems should be conducted for people, especially those with chronic lung and heart diseases, the elderly and children to reduce their activities on the dusty days. methods pm10 data was taken from the ilam environmental protection agency. the annual morbidity including hosp...
