This project compared the seasonal variation of PM 2.5 and PM 10 in two B.C. cities, Abbotsford and Prince George. It analyzed the differences in topographic features between two cities and stimulated synoptic meteorological conditions at selected dates to discuss possible factors that could affect PM concentration.
