  2. Particulate pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulate_pollution

    Particulate matter (PM), particularly PM2.5, was found to be harmful to aquatic invertebrates. [41] These aquatic invertebrates include fish, crustaceans, and Mollusca. In a study by Han et al, the effects of PM<2.5 micrometers on life history traits and oxidative stress were observed in Tigriopus japonicus.

  3. List of least-polluted cities by particulate matter concentration

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_least-polluted...

    Below is a list of 526 cities sorted by their annual mean concentration of PM2.5 (μg/m 3) in 2022. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] By default the least polluted cities which have fewest particulates in the air come first.

  4. Pollutant Standards Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollutant_Standards_Index

    [5] [6] A sub-index value is computed for each pollutant based on the pollutant's ambient air concentration. The highest sub-index value is then taken as the PSI value. In other words, the PSI is determined by the pollutant with the most significant concentration. [7] During haze episodes, PM 2.5 is the most significant pollutant. [8]

  5. National Ambient Air Quality Standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ambient_Air...

    Secondary standards are designed to protect public welfare, damage to property, transportation hazards, economic values, and personal comfort and well-being from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant. A district meeting a given standard is known as an "attainment area" for that standard, and otherwise a "non-attainment area". [2]

  6. Air pollution measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_measurement

    Air pollution measurement is the process of collecting and measuring the components of air pollution, notably gases and particulates. The earliest devices used to measure pollution include rain gauges (in studies of acid rain ), Ringelmann charts for measuring smoke , and simple soot and dust collectors known as deposit gauges . [ 1 ]

  7. List of countries by air pollution - Wikipedia

    Air pollution is among the biggest health problems of modern industrial society and is responsible for more than 10 percent of all deaths worldwide (nearly 4.5 million premature deaths in 2019), according to The Lancet. Air pollution can affect nearly every organ and system of the body, negatively affecting nature and humans alike.

  9. Air pollutant concentrations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollutant_concentrations

    As an example, a measured NO x concentration of 45 ppmv in a dry gas having 5 volume % O 2 is: 45 × ( 20.9 - 3 ) ÷ ( 20.9 - 5 ) = 50.7 ppmv of NO x. when corrected to a dry gas having a specified reference O 2 content of 3 volume %. Note: The measured gas concentration C m must first be corrected to a dry basis before using the above equation.
