Particulate Matter (PM10) samples collected from a residential area of Korba city-Chhattisgarh during the non-sequential months of the year Nov. 2019 to Dec. 2021 were analyzed by Ion chromatography to quantify the water-soluble ions i.e., fluoride, chloride, sulfate, nitrate, oxalate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, calcium and magnesium concentrations. A high mass concentration trend of PM10 in the winter months of November, December, and January was observed during the sampling periods. High concentrations of fluoride, nitrate, and sulfate in particulates were observed due to huge coal combustion in the study area and its surroundings there. The values of PM10 throughout the study period indicated remarkable variation in local air quality. Relatively lower PM10 values were observed in March 2020, August 2020, and August 2021 with mass concentrations of 44, 35, and 44 μg/m3 respectively may be due to non-monsoon precipitation and all India national lockdown due to COVID-19 spread. The PM values seem to show a general downward trend toward the PM10 end of the year 2021. Generally, higher PM10 concentrations can have adverse health effects, particularly on individuals with respiratory conditions, cardiovascular diseases, or compromised immune systems. The possible emission sources, meteorological parameters, and their correlation are discussed
