The samples were collected on a weekly basis within a period of one year from February 2012 to January 2013. Results showed that the mean concentration of PM10 black carbon was 2.01±0.93 µg/m3, while ionic species concentrations were found in descending order; SO42–>NO3–>Cl–>NH4+, with mean concentrations of 1.44±1.04 µg/m3, 1.11±1.06 µg/m3, 0.87±0.91 µg/m3, 0.49±0.64 µg/m3, respectively. Black carbon concentration was higher during the dry months, which may be attributed to uncontrolled biomass burning during hot and dry weather conditions. Similarly, SO42– and NH4+ concentrations were higher during the dry month seasons. On the contrary, Cl– concentration was higher during the wet months, influenced by the marine environment surrounding the area.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Air pollution,Black carbon,Ions,Particulate pollution,PM10[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors like to express their sincere appreciation to the Governor of the South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia for the financial support.
