What Does PM10 Stand For?

PM10 stands for Particulate Matter Of Size Less Than Or Equal To 10 Micrometers

PM10 refers to particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less. These tiny airborne particles can originate from various sources, including vehicle emissions, industrial processes, construction activities, and natural occurrences such as dust storms. Due to their small size, PM10 can be inhaled into the lungs, potentially leading to adverse health effects, particularly for individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Monitoring and regulating PM10 levels is essential for public health and environmental protection.
