Ambient measurements were made using two sets of annular denuder system during the four seasons (April 2001 to February 2002 and were then compared with the results during the period of 1996 -1997 to estimate the trends and seasonal variations in concentrations of gaseous and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) principal species. Annual averages of gaseous HNO 3 and NH 3 increased by 11% and 6%, respectively, compared with those of the previous study, whereas HONO and SO 2 decreased by 11% and 136%, respectively. The PM 2.5 concentration decreased by ϳ17%, 35% for SO 4 2Ϫ , and 29% for NH 4 ϩ , whereas NO 3 Ϫ increased by 21%. Organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) were 12.8 and 5.98 g/m Ϫ3
