Abstract

In this paper, the sources of PM 2.5 are quantified in the Holy City of Makkah, applying a Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) Model.High Volume System (HVS) samplers for Particulate Matter (PM) were used to collect PM 2.5 24 hour (10 am -10 am) samples at two locations from September 2013 to August 2014 in Makkah.IC technique (model: 850 Professional IC_ Metrohm USA) was used to detect the concen...
