The distribution of particulate matters is now receiving significant attention given their role in human health and respiratory related diseases. The concentrations of PM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0 were measured in different test points near the road. Two sampling campaigns were conducted in this study. The results indicated that a gradual decrease in the concentrations of particulate matters with distance from the edge of the road. The concentrations of these particulates decreased with the increase of height when the sites were under trees or other vegetations, while the concentrations of these particulates increased with the increase of height when the sites were higher than the height of trees or other vegetations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
