A statistical association was found between PM 10 concentration and wind direction in London and Rochester. Results indicate that PM 10 levels were 10.4 µg/m 3 (30.7%) above the average when air came from the ESE sector. The possible impact on particle loading due to changes in wind direction is discussed.
