CHAPTER 7 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.2 Recommendation for Future Studies
The following recommendations could be suggested for further studies according to above given conclusions:
1. For detailed further study of PM pollution in Khulna City, it will be required detailed PM concentrations monitoring along with optical and chemical properties.
2. For detailed modal analysis, PM mass concentrations will be monitored for more PM sizes as possible.
3. Meteorological parameters have obvious effect on atmospheric particle formation and conversion; more detailed works about the reaction of meteorological parameters on atmospheric particles at Khulna City are needed in future.
4. For further study of seasonal variation of PM mass concentrations with meteorological parameters, determination of dominant parameter and correlation with time varying will be assessed.
5. Future study of the role of transported aerosol will be needed to assess the source contributions in more detail.
