Tec Engineering Srl Energy and Environment Division of D.1I.M.- Engineering Faculty of University of Catania, Italy Abstract One of the main sources of air pollution is the emission of fine and ultrafine dusts (PM,) originated by processes of combustions both from private and public transportation and from industrial activities. The knowledge of both types of dusts and the concentration of such PM, in the air which people breathe is very important in order to provide Health Authorities with the necessary information to face the problem and to forecast suitable interventions to reduce health negative effects of this kind of air pollution. In this way, it is necessary to have "technics of measurement" and relative equipment able to measure in real time the concentration both of "less than 10 pm" and less than 1,O pm" particulate matters. The aim of this paper is to show some methods o
