Popis:	Particulate matter (PM) plays a crucial role in air quality deterioration in urban areas. Myanmar is a developing country in Southeast Asia and still in an early phase of urbanization. Yangon is the most populated and urbanized region in Myanmar, hosting 15% of the total population. Reports on particulate pollution in Yangon are limited as well as not up to date. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess distribution of PM10 in Seven Townships of Yangon. The result indicates a significant difference (p10 concentrations among the morning (185±85 μg/m3), the afternoon (64±35 μg/m3) and the evening (129±50 μg/m3) respectively. PM10 concentrations at different times of the day except the morning period were within USEPA guideline value for PM10 (150 μg/m3, 24h mean).
