Figure 2. Classification of the PM composition based on hierarchical cluster analysis in the days with different atmospheric air quality. Date with green background – Excellent air quality (AQI: 0– 50); Yellow – Good (AQI: 50– 100); Orange – Lightly polluted (AQI: 100– 150); Red – Moderately polluted (AQI: 150– 200).
