Monitoring Methods For The Identification Of PM... What's The (Particulate) Matter?

摘要

Worldwide air quality standards for particulate matter (PM) have recently come under siege as health statistical data suggest links between ambient PM mass-based data and human morbidity and mortality> In response to a court order, the USEPA recently reviewed the PM standard and concludedthat a fine particulate standard (PM_(2.5)) should be added to the PM_(10) standard in order to more adequately protect public health. Globally, other reviews of national PM standards have been initiated.
