Main Emission Sources

PM _2.5/10

Estimated total TPM, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5emissions in year 2000 were:

CAC	With Open Sources	Without Open Sources
TPM	16,372,382 tonnes	903,952 tonnes
PM₁₀	5,135,494 tonnes	516,746 tonnes
PM_2.5	963,305 tonnes	349,806 tonnes

Open sources (paved and unpaved roads, construction, agriculture, forest fires, etc) make up 94% of total particulate matter, 90% of total PM₁₀ emissions and 64% of total PM_2.5 emissions

The distribution of emissions among contributing source categories for the two PM size fractions is illustrated in the pie charts below.
