In the present paper, the dynamics of particulate matter (PM) concentration during the heating season was studied with respect to the seasonal dynamics of the temperature recorded at two measuring sites from the National system for monitoring of air quality in Burgas. The automated measuring stations (AMS) selected for the present study are located in Dolno Ezerovo (DE) and Meden Rudnik (MR) in the municipality of Burgas. This study looks at the impacts of Temperature on localised PM10 concentrations in an urban area of Burgas over the winter period. The levels of PM 10 pollution is an important characteristic for the quality of life in urban environment. The main source of PM 10 emissions is considered to be the domestic heating with wood which varies with the values of the temperature during the heating season.
