WHO Ambient air quality database, May 2014

National conversion factors (PM2.5/PM10 ratio) were estimated as

population-weigthed averages of city-specific conversion factors for the
country. City-specific conversion factors were estimatd as the mean
ratio of PM2.5 to PM10 of stations for the same year, and alternatively
as the ration of city values if the values by station were not provided.
Regional conversion factors were obtained by averaging country-
specific conversion factors.
