In this study, concentrations of three different air pollutants (PM10, SO2, and NO2) were obtained from four air quality monitoring stations (AQMSs) over an 11-year period from 2013 to 2023. Meteorological variables (temperature, dew point temperature, wind speed, sea level pressure, and precipitation) were then obtained from the nearest European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) grid point to each station, and their relationships were analyzed. Homogeneity and normality tests were conducted for air pollutant concentrations and meteorological variables, followed by data preprocessing analyses using non-parametric tests. The ultimate aim of this study is to determine the effects of the presence and intensity of precipitation on pollutant concentrations. Analyses based on four different precipitation intensity categories (light, moderate, heavy, and severe) indicated that increasing precipitation intensity is associated with decreasing pollutant concentrations. Specifically, higher precipitation intensities were associated with a reduction in pollutant levels, with reductions ranging from 15% to 35% compared to dry conditions. This effect was particularly pronounced during the winter season, when PM10 concentrations decreased by up to 45% on wet days compared to dry days. This finding highlighted the importance of not only precipitation intensity but also the type of hydrometeor for air pollution. The significant decrease observed during winter is thought to be due to snowfall, which is believed to have a greater removal effect on air pollution compared to rain.
