PM10 Historical Emissions

Health Effects

Coarse particulate matter, also known as PM₁₀ or PM10, is formed by crushing, grinding, and abrasion of surfaces, which breaks large pieces of material into smaller pieces. The particles are then suspended by the wind or by anthropogenic (human) activity.

Many studies have shown significant associations of ambient PM10 levels with a variety of human health problems. For further information regarding PM10 and PM10 ₁₀ go to the EPA website.  [exit DNR]
