Air pollution and traffic congestion have become a significant concern for all urban cities. This study aims to find a relationship between the congestion zone and the Particle Number Concentration (PNC) of Fine Particulates. During the study, a direct relation was observed between traffic densities, congestion, and the PNC. Heavy congestion causes an average increase of 3 × 105 to 6 × 105 #/cc in PNC, while the light congestion zone causes an average growth of 1.3 × 105 to 1.8 × 105 #/cc. A relation between the traffic signal duration and PNC was also observed. Shorter duration signals resulted in negligible impact, while longer duration signals have a noticeable impact on PNC.
