Particulate Matter

Particulates – also known as atmospheric aerosol particles, atmospheric particulate matter, particulate matter (PM), or suspended particulate matter (SPM) – are microscopic particles of solid or liquid matter suspended in the air. The term aerosol commonly refers to the particulate/air mixture, as opposed to the particulate matter alone. Sources of particulate matter can be natural or anthropogenic. They have impacts on climate and precipitation that adversely affect human health, in ways additional to direct inhalation. Types of atmospheric particles include suspended particulate matter; thoracic and respirable particles; inhalable coarse particles, designated PM10, which are coarse particles with a diameter of …

from smoke. Wildfire smoke frequently causes particulate matter pollution to exceed federal standards, and oxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Of these, fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in studied exposure to PM1 and PM10, which are particulate matter less than 1 and 10 µm, respectively. Studies Studies generally indicate that exposure to particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter is especially particulate pollution. Among air pollutants, fine particulate matter is one of the most harmful to human health
