The purpose of this research is to analyse the temporal patterns of changes in concentrations of dust particles – aerosols, regression modeling of the interdependence of PM2.5 and PM10 at the level of instantaneous, average hourly, average daily and average weekly concentrations, and assessment of the impact of the anthropogenic component of dust pollution of atmospheric air in the Ivano-Frankivsk region on regularities of the temporal distribution of these shares.The database for the study included measurements of the concentration of PM10, PM2.5 every hour at four Ecocity public monitoring stations: in the central part of the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, in the village of Bovshiv within the influence of the Burshtyn TPP, in the village of Broshniv-Osada within the influence of the woodworking enterprise "SVISS KRONO" and within the recreational territory of the village of Mykulychyn, Nadvirnyan district. The general regularity of the temporal distribution of PM10, PM2.5 was established for all posts for daily fluctuations – the highest concentrations are observed at night, the lowest – during the period of maximum daily temperatures. It has been proven by actual data that the greater the level of atmospheric air pollution (the greater the anthropogenic component of PM), the higher the daily concentrations of PM10, PM2.5 and the more often the one-time standards of solid suspended particles are exceeded.According to the data of monitoring stations from the territories with different anthropogenic influence, functional dependences of PM2.5 content on PM10 content were obtained for instantaneous values, hourly average values, daily average values, and weekly average values. The scientific novelty of the conducted research consists in the establishment of identical functional interdependence of temporal changes in concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 dust particles within a conditionally clean area and within the limits of the influence of stationary sources of pollution with a high level of direct regression dependence and a coefficient of determination greater than 0.9 in all cases. This allows us to conclude that the temporal patterns of changes in both PM2.5 and PM10 will not differ in clean and polluted air conditions for the Ivano-Frankivsk region. In conditions of incomplete data on the temporal distribution of the concentration of PM10, the obtained equations can be used to forecast the temporal distribution of the concentration of PM2.5.
