PSD of diesel buses dominate the 463
accumulation mode diameters of 74-87 nm while
the PSD of CNG buses dominated the nucleation
464 mode with modes at 21-24 nm. Total PN
emissions of diesel buses per vehicle were 4 times
higher 465 than the level of CNG buses
Annual average PM2.5 levels range
between 81 and 190 µg/m3 in Delhi and
are clearly higher than the WHO
guideline value (5 µg/m3 ) and Indian
national limit value (40 µg/m3 87 )

The average contribution of PM1, PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 to total PM mass was 41.9 ± 7.09%,
74.9 ± 5.36% and 25.1 ± 5.36% respectively
Delhi (82.9% fine and 17.1% coarse), Agra (68% fine at an urban site and 61.4% fine at a rural
site), Chennai (PM10 consists of 56% PM2.5 and 44% PM1), and Raipur (60.6% fine and 39.4%
coarse).
similar observation in Beijing (China) and estimated 70% of PM mass to be in the fine range
(2.5 um) while in Dhaka (Bangladesh), attributed 52% of the total PM mass to PM2.5
