This study aims to evaluate the variation of PM2.5components as well as to identify PM2.5sources under non-hazy weather conditions in a tropical urban city, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The non-hazy weather conditions were characterized by copious rainfall throughout the year and ephemeral dry periods, with no significant haze events. The PM2.5concentrations were recorded on the rooftop of an eight-floor building using a High Volume Sampler (HVS). The water-soluble ion (WSI), trace metal (TM) and organic and elemental carbon (OC-EC) content of PM2.5was determined for source apportionment using the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model. Daily PM2.5concentrations were in the range 9.80–59.9 μgm−3. Dry weather conditions, rainfall and atmospheric stability in different seasons influenced the daily PM2.5variations. The maximum PM2.5concentration (33.1 μgm−3) was measured during the inter monsoon (INT I) season. The major constituents of PM2.5were OC (6.80 μgm−3, 24.4%), EC (0.700 μgm−3, 2.5%) and inorganic matter (IM) (6.6 μgm−3, 23.7%). The PMF identified eight factor profiles of PM2.5sources and the major source contributors were secondary inorganic aerosol (SIA), traffic and oil combustion (28.5%). We note that source characteristics of PM2.5were significantly modulated by seasonal factors during non-hazy weather conditions.
