Wisconsin Particulate Matter (PM) Emissions
Health Effects
Particulate matter is the generic term for a broad class of chemically and physically diverse substances that exist as discrete particles (liquid droplets or solids) over a wide range of sizes. Particles originate from a variety of anthropogenic (human-made) stationary and mobile sources as well as natural sources.
Many epidemiologic studies have shown significant associations of ambient PM levels with a variety of human health problems. For further information regarding PM go to the EPA website. [exit DNR]
