  • Abstract:
  • As it is known the particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the major contributors which effects visibility, health etc. It is known that the many factors including, increase in population, deforestation, stubble burning, are responsible for the concentration increase of particulate matter. In this study we analyzed the seasonal variation in concentration of PM2.5 at Sanjay place in Agra. The data was collected from 2021 to 2022 at Sanjay place and meteorological data was taken from central pollution control board. The PM2.5 data was collected by using low volume sampler. The concentration of PM2.5 was lowest in summer while the concentration of PM2.5 highest in autumn. The concentration of PM2.5 in atmosphere has a huge impact on atmospheric visibility. The meteorological parameter like temperature, humidity and wind speed also impacts the concentration of PM2.5. The temperature was highest in summer while concentration of PM2.5 was lowest. Wind speed was lowest in autumn while concentration of PM2.5 was highest. Relative humidity was lowest in spring while concentration of PM2.5 was moderate. Hence the meteorological parameters have a huge impact of concentration of PM2.5.
