Abstract EN

Particulate matter (PM) and other air pollutants can affect greatly on the health and quality of life of people, PM10 is of more concern to human health as the particles can enter the lungs, causing respiratory problems.

Ambient particulate matter pollution investigated monthly by using Bam1020 for maturing PM10 concentrations on two stations of air monitoring (Hillah water project station and Babylon University station) in Babylon province at 2012 year.

The results showed that most of monthly average concentrations of PM10 were more than150μg/m3.

Whereas the great concentrations of PM10 was at station of Hillah water project within April (576.25 μg/m3) and station of Babylon university within July (467.40 μg/m3).There are positive correlation between concentrations of PM10 with wind speed and air temperature, and negative correlation with relative humidity
