Table 5:
Number and percentage of sampled hours with PM2.5 >12 μg/m3 in each season and Ångström exponent α values and 95% CI based on mean absorbance at each wavelength during these peak hours.
Season | Number of hours per season with PM2.5>12 μg/m3 |
% of sampled hours per season with PM2.5>12 μg/m3 |
