Reviewer 2 Report

Please see below for the comments (minor modifications):

-          Line 82: It is better to reference them as “meteorological variables” rather than “weather”

-          Line 88-89: Rephrase and rewrite the sentence

-          Line 90: “Background” is one word

-          Improve the quality of Fig 1

-          Add lines to Table 1 to clearly show the rows related to the two categories in column 1.

-          Line 117-118: Correct the ref.

-          Line 120-121: Explain the difference between suspended and resuspended dust, and use it throughout the article.

-          Please read these two references (for their methodology) and reference them in your article:

o   Near-Road Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Resuspended PM2.5 from Highways and Arterials

o   Traffic contribution to PM2.5 increment in the near-road environment

-          Modify all cases you have a comma at the end of a sentence (instead of a period). Line 155 is an example.

-          Line 165: What does ash suspended mean?!

-          Line 173: Please remove “During the monitoring period”

-          Line 175-178: You can use () instead of many commas in one sentence.

-          You can use a table for lines 206-208, and 318-321.
