Abstract: Exposure to outdoor and indoor air particles (also known as particulate matter or PM) has attracted the interest of the scientific researchers around the world, this is because of the adverse health effects that particles have on the human. Smaller fractions of particulate matter (repairable range, ≤10 µm) give the greatest health problem, because they have the ability to reach deeper parts of the human respiratory system. Many countries have paid attention to the air pollution and made regulations to improve their indoor and outdoor air quality, Saudi Arabia, particularly Qassim region, has not given much attention to the problem of air contaminants in the ambient and indoor environments. In addition, ambient environmental parameters will be recorded. The results obtained from the indoor and outdoor measurements will help us to evaluate the air quality in Buraydah city for different seasons in the indoor and outdoor environments.
