Abstract

Particulate matter (PM) is a term used to describe very small solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. These particles can be of natural or man-made origin and impact human health and the climate. Airborne particles are described by their diameter, with PM10 indicating particles with a diameter of 10 μm or below and PM2.5 indicating a diameter of 2.5 μm or below. Ultrafine particles are those with a diameter of less than 0.1 μm (PM0.1).
