The PM10 concentration reduction caused by large-scale precipitation in the Ciuc Basin was studied under no-wind conditions. The PM10 concentration changing before, during, and after the rainfall was followed up from 2008 to 2019. After the rainfall episode, the PM10 concentrations were lower in the cold and warm periods with 2.8 μg/m3, and 2 μg/m3 respectively. The highest PM10 concentration reduction was detected in the cold season, by the moderate and light rain intensity, after 6 hrs of continuous rain (35.61%, 32.46%), and the average PM10 concentration reduction in the cold and warm periods was 22.3% and 16.1% respectively.
