PM10 refers to particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers or smaller. These tiny particles can be inhaled and may cause various health issues, particularly affecting the respiratory system. Common sources of PM10 include vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and natural events like wildfires. Exposure to PM10 can lead to serious health problems, including asthma, bronchitis, and other lung diseases. Monitoring PM10 levels is crucial for public health, as high concentrations can indicate poor air quality. Efforts to reduce PM10 emissions are essential for improving air quality and protecting community health.
