Abstract

This article presents the processed data of PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter of the AirMQ sensor on Zakharova street, Minsk. The 15 minute readings were averaged to the daily average, monthly average and annual average values for the period August 2019 - January 2021. The analysis of data by seasons of the year, by 15-minute periods of observations and by days of the week is presented. Conclusions are made about the possible natural and anthropogenic causes of daily, weekly and seasonal changes in the content of PM2.5 and PM10 solid particles in the surface air at Zakharova Street in Minsk. An analysis is made of the relationship between solid particles and the urban heat island (surface air temperature) in the area of Victory square.
