“…The highest value of PM 2.5 was measured during "Bleaching" period, where the mass concentrations ranged from 12 to 110 μg/m 3 with a mean value of 32 μg/m 3 exceeding the 24-hr standard limit of World Health Organization. These findings are in general agreement with those obtained by Furu et al [2] and Faber et al [3] who reported considerable increase in…”

“…The results of this work clearly show that there was non‐negligible emission of sulfur and lead into the atmosphere during “No Construction” period, which is very likely according to the specifications for automotive gasoline (gasoline 90 and 95) and diesel (fuel diesel and super diesel) in Jordan . The discrepancy in the trend of anthropogenic‐related elements between the current results and those described in the literature (Table ) would be due to the differences between the various construction activities in terms of the nature of the construction works and the machinery and materials used …”

“…The primary objective of this contribution is to determine the extent to which air quality at the campus of the university is affected by this construction work. Similar objectives have been the subject of other studies that investigated potential air pollutants accompanied with various construction activities, such as tramway track construction and earthworks and road construction …”

Aerosol sampling was carried out prior to and during an active construction work at the University of Jordan in Amman, Jordan. Elemental characterization for 60 PM2.5 samples was performed by particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) technique at the LABEC laboratory of INFN in Florence, Italy. Twenty three elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Ba, and Pb) were detected, and their concentrations were assessed during three sampling periods, namely, “No Construction,” “Pouring Concrete,” and “Bleaching.” The results showed higher concentrations of soil‐related elements and lower concentrations of anthropogenic‐related elements during construction periods compared with their concentrations before construction. Soil‐related elements showed very low enrichment factor (EF) and high correlation coefficients during all sampling periods. Anthropogenic‐related elements were very much enriched and correlated only during the first sampling period “No Construction.”
