Exposure to particulate matter of less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter led to significant changes in ROS levels, indicating that particulate matter exposure was a causative agent of oxidative stress in Tigriopus japonicus. [42] In addition to aquatic invertebrates, negative effects of particulate matter have been noted in mammals as well.
1 atm = absolute pressure of 101.325 kPa or 1.01325 bar; mol = gram mole and kmol = 1000 gram moles; Pollution regulations in the United States typically reference their pollutant limits to an ambient temperature of 20 to 25 °C as noted above. In most other nations, the reference ambient temperature for pollutant limits may be 0 °C or other ...
Particulates or atmospheric particulate matter (see below for other names) are microscopic particles of solid or liquid matter suspended in the air.The term aerosol refers to the particulate/air mixture, as opposed to the particulate matter alone, [1] though it is sometimes defined as a subset of aerosol terminology.

A 2011 UK study estimates 90 deaths per year due to passenger vehicle PM. [31] In a 2006 publication, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) state that in 2002 about 1 per-cent of all PM 10 and 2 per-cent of all PM 2.5 emissions came from the exhaust of on-road motor vehicles (mostly from diesel engines).

This list contains the top 500 cities by PM2.5 annual mean concentration measurement as documented by the World Health Organization covering the period from 2010 to 2022. The January 2024 version of the WHO database contains results of ambient (outdoor) air pollution monitoring from almost 5,390 towns and cities in 63 countries.
PM can be different sizes, such as PM 2.5 which are tiny particles of 2.5 microns in width or smaller, compared with PM 10 which are classified as 10 microns in diameter or less. A study in California found that increased exposure to PM 2.5 led to decreased sperm motility and increased abnormal morphology.
(The Center Square) – Senate President Warren Petersen hopes to pass an additional barrier for local and county taxation. Senate Bill 1013 would require a 2/3 vote by a council or by a county ...
CiteairII stated that having an air quality index that would be easy to present to the general public was a major motivation, leaving aside the more complex question of a health-based index, which would require, for example, effects of combined levels of different pollutants. The main aim of the CAQI was to have an index that would encourage ...
