Interaction of PM10 concentrations with local and synoptic meteorological conditions at different temporal scales

Abstract

Changing meteorological conditions over short and long time scales are anticipated to affect the concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter below than 10 μm (PM10) in the atmosphere. This study aims to identify the temporal characteristics of PM10 including its relationship with local and synoptic meteorological conditions in Petaling Jaya (PJ), Malaysia from 1996 to 2016.A high volume sampler (HVS), mounted on the rooftop of MetMalaysia, was used to monitor daily PM10 concentrations. The meteorological parameter data were obtained from the MetMalaysia PJ station.
