PM
"Particulate matter," also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets. Particle pollution is made up of a number of components, including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles.
The size of particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems. EPA is concerned about particles that are 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller because those are the particles that generally pass through the throat and nose and enter the lungs. Once inhaled, these particles can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects. EPA groups particle pollution into two categories:
- "Inhalable coarse particles," such as those found near roadways and dusty industries, are larger than 2.5 micrometers and smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter.
-
"Fine particles," such as those found in smoke and haze, are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller. These particles can be directly emitted from sources such as forest fires, or they can form when gases emitted from power plants, industries and automobiles react in the air.

증기압이 높아 대기중으로 쉽게 증발되어 질소산화물(Nox)과 공존시 태양광의 작용에 의하여 광화 학반응을 일으켜 오존 및 PAN(Peroxyacyl Nitrate)등 2차오염물질을 생성시킴으로써 광화학 스모 그 현상을 일으키는 물질을 휘발성유기화합물질(Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs)이라고 한다. | ||
