“…Depending on the diverse composition of these particles, they can show different reactivity and balance between their degradation and production processes. Sometimes, these particles show seasonal time dependence so that a limitation of the present study is in not considering time series components in the modeling, which is an open problem to be conducted in a future research (see Decanini & Volta, ; Kessler et al, ; Querol et al, ; Vione et al, ). Regarding this aspect, we must mention that PM2.5 and PM10 levels are considered like simple dilutions and concentrations of air masses, without taking into account the mentioned factors of composition, chemical reactivity, production–degradation equilibrium, and evolution over time of these quantities.…”

Particulate matter (PM) pollution is a serious environmental problem. Santiago of Chile is one of the most polluted cities in the world in terms of PM2.5 and PM10. Monitoring of environmental risk is useful for detecting and preventing adverse effects on human health in highly polluted cities. In this paper, we propose a methodology for monitoring PM pollution in Santiago based on bivariate quality control charts and an asymmetric distribution. A simulation study is carried out to evaluate performance of the proposed methodology. A case study with PM pollution real‐world data from Santiago is provided, which shows that the methodology is suitable to alert early episodes of extreme air pollution. The results are in agreement with the critical episodes reported with the current model used by the Chilean health authority.

“…During the selected period, the strong photo-oxidant activity has been stressed by the stagnating meteorological conditions associated with high solar radiation. The validation analysis of the base case simulation is discussed in (Decanini and Volta, 2003a), (Decanini and Volta, 2003b), (Volta and Finzi, in press). The modelling simulations evidence that considerable PM levels are spread all over the central and the southern regions of the domain (see Figure 2 showing simulated PM10 at 4 p.m. of June 4th).…”
