Fine particulate matter in Providence
This map shows concentrations of PM₂.₅ throughout a typical autumn day in Providence. Utilizing data from 23 monitors in 20 different neighborhoods, our team created a graphic of average PM₂.₅ concentrations across our network by hour. PM₂.₅ concentrations were typically higher at night through the early morning, reaching a peak at around 7:30 a.m. The pattern likely reflects locally-emitted and transported pollution as well as the influence of temperature and wind. Concentrations are typically lowest in the afternoon due to higher winds, which disperse pollutants, whereas the air is more stagnant at night.
