This review study discusses total average concentrations of arsenic (As) in PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ in different countries, which included Serbia, Taiwan, Canada, Spain, China, Portugal-Sines, Greece, Korea, France, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Finland, Scotland, Switzerland, United States (Southern California), Italy (Venice) during 2000–2011. Generally, the main sources for As in ambient air in different countries were copper smelters, traffic exhaust, coal use, industrial activities, petrochemical plant, incinerator plants, domestic heating, ship traffic, burning biomass, incinerator emissions, agriculture, mining industry, and foundries. The data show that ambient air As concentrations in PM10 in Serbia in 2000 were the highest while those in PM10 in the United States (Southern California) in 2009 were ranked the lowest. The data also indicate that ambient air concentrations in PM₂.₅ in Shanghai in 2008 were the highest while those in Greece in 2003 were the lowest. Average ambient air concentrations in PM₁₀ decreased significantly during 2000–2010 in Serbia and Spain. Finally, average ambient air concentrations in PM₁₀ decreased while ambient air particle bound As (As(p)) concentrations in PM₂.₅ increased during period 2000–2010 and then decreased during 2000–2010.
