This study aims to measure and analyze PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations along Jalan Jenderal A. Yani, Palembang, and assess the impact of humidity, temperature, and wind speed on particulate concentrations. Measurements were taken at five observation points during three time periods: morning, afternoon, and evening. The results showed that PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations exceeded safe thresholds at certain times. High PM2.5 concentrations were mainly observed in the morning and evening, while high PM10 concentrations in the morning were attributed to increased traffic activity. Wind speed showed a significant positive correlation with both types of particles. The findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring and targeted interventions to reduce health risks associated with air pollution in urban environments. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers to develop strategies to mitigate particulate pollution and improve public health outcomes
