Abstract

The mass concentration and size distribution of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 were determined in this study. The highest PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were recorded at Taft Avenue. On the other hand, size distribution of PM in the sampling sites showed that Roxas Boulevard had the highest number of PM_2.5 particles. All the sampling sites had a high vehicular density which can account for their high PM mass concentration and size distribution. Some effects of meteorological parameters on mass concentration were also observed.
