What Does SPM Stand For?
SPM stands for Suspended Particulate Matter
Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) refers to tiny solid or liquid particles that are suspended in the air. These particles can include a variety of substances such as dust, smoke, and liquid droplets. SPM is a key component of air quality assessments, as it can impact human health, the environment, and climate. The concentration and composition of SPM can vary based on factors such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and natural sources like soil erosion and wildfires. Monitoring and controlling SPM levels are essential for mitigating air pollution and associated health risks.
