An aerosol mixture of particulates and sulfur compounds form a grayish-colored substance that is called industrial smog.
Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a composite of several chemical species rather than a single contaminant. It consists of a complex mixture of solids and aerosols, including dry solid particles, liquid-coated solid cores, and minute liquid droplets. Particles can contain inorganic ions, metallic compounds, elemental carbon, organic compounds, and chemicals from the earth's crust. They can vary greatly in size, shape, and chemical makeup. For the goal of regulating air quality, the particle diameter is used.
Those that have a diameter of 10 microns or below (PM10) are inhalable and can have a negative impact on health. Particles with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less are considered to be fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Consequently, a percentage of PM10 is made up of PM2.5.
