Abstract
Description
This final report accompanies the current IAEA/ RCA database from the 14 country Project RAC/07/015, “characterization and source identification of particulate air pollution in the asia region”. It fulfils the obligation under an IAEA contract to provide a fine and coarse ambient air database with explanatory notes by 30 November 2010 to the IAEA.
This database has been assemble from data provided by each of 14 RCA member states on fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and coarse particulate matter (2.5 µm to 10 µm). The sum of the fine and coarse fractions gives the standard PM10 fraction (particles with diameters less than 10µm). The 14 countries providing more than 12 months of data include (in alphabetical order), Australia (AUS), Bangladesh (BAN), China (CHN), India (IND), Indonesia (INO), Korea (KOR), Malaysia (MAL), Mongolia (MON), New Zealand, (NZ) Pakistan (PAK), Philippines (PHI), Sri Lanka (SRI), Thailand (THA) and Vietnam (VIE).
