The Environment Authority has conducted a specialised national scientific study to monitor the chemical composition and sources of airborne particles. The study covered 33 sites across the governorates of Oman, with the prime objective of assessing the chemical composition of airborne particles, analysing their anthropogenic sources, and tracking their associated seasonal variations. The study focused on measuring two primary categories of airborne particulate matter: particles with a diameter of less than 10 micrometres (PM10) and fine particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres (PM2.5).
