| Abstract | Size-segregated aerosol samples were collected at Raipur, India, during the period of October 2008 to September 2009, using eight-stage cascade impactor-type aerosol sampler at a flow rate of 28.3 l/min. The results give information about the mass concentrations, seasonal variations, and sources of water-soluble inorganic species viz. Na$^{+}$, NH 4 + , K$^{+}$, Mg$^{2+}$, Ca$^{2+}$, Cl$^{-}$, NO 3 - , and SO 4 2- in both PM$_{2.5–10}$ (coarse) and PM$_{2.5}$ (fine) fractions. Annual mean of mass concentrations of PM$_{2.5–10}$ and PM$_{2.5}$ aerosols were monitored to be 200.7 ± 55.1 and 185.9 ± 66.9 μg/m$^{3}$, respectively. The annual mean concentrations of the inorganic components were monitored to be 5.4 ± 2.4, 6.2 ± 4.7, 5.3 ± 1.8, 3.2 ± 0.46, 40.8 ± 7.9, 9.2 ± 3.8, 21.6 ± 5.5, and 17.9 ± 4.0 μg/m$^{3}$ in PM$_{2.5–10}$ aerosols and 4.1 ± 2.1, 13.4 ± 4.2, 7.7 ± 2.0, 1.7 ± 0.4, 18.7 ± 5.4, 9.7 ± 3.1, 13.4 ± 5.7, and 36.8 ± 10.0 μg/m$^{3}$, respectively, in PM$_{2.5}$ aerosols, for the above ions. The concentration of Na$^{+}$, Mg$^{2+}$, and Ca$^{2+}$ were higher in spring and summer. The seasonal variation of secondary components NH 4 + , NO 3 - , and SO 4 2- were similar; that means high concentration in winter and low concentration in fall. The results obtained from factor analysis suggested the presence of three main components/sources in the coarse and fine modes namely regional pollution, airborne road dust, and traffic emissions, which contributed 94.0% and 83.2% of the total variance of the system respectively for the PM$_{2.5–10}$ and PM$_{2.5}$ aerosols data set. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
