Abstract:Samples of PM2.5 are collected and analyzed in the urban areas of Lahore, Pakistan, during the sampling periods of the winter and summertime. The mass concentrations of PM2.5 and its carbonaceous species (OC and EC) show a significant variation during both sampling periods. The mean OC concentration in winter and summertime are 50.7 ± 30.5 µg/m3, and 14.6 ± 5.6 µg/m3, whereas EC concentrations are 26.5 ± 18.0 µg/m3 and 8.6 ± 3.4 µg/m3, respectively. In the winter and summertime, the OC/EC average ratios report… Show more
